Fo-Ti has a long history of use in Chinese Herbalism to keep the balance of a healthy human body. In China, Fo-Ti is called "He shou wu", which means "black-haired Mr. He". This name refers to a legend, written around 813 A.D. by LiAo, about an old villager named Mr. He who took Fo-Ti and restored his black hair, youthful appearance and vitality. Bottled in Glass!
