This organic Fo-ti Powder is the traditionally prepared Fo-ti powder that is stewed for 32 hours with black beans according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. When the organically grown Polygonum multiflorum vine has reached the required maturity the root is dug up, cleaned inspected for quality and prepared for stewing with black beans. The whole process takes quite a number of hours until the preparation is ready. The mixture is then dehydrated into a cake and milled into fine powder.

China with its long tradition of medical practice, issuing from thousands of years of practical study and evaluation, has come to recommended Fo-ti as one its premier herbs. Being rich in legend, the Chinese call this herb 'He-Shou-Wu' and atrribute it with many lengends and folklore. The root is said to be able to soak up generous amount of Qi (life giving force) from the ground which it then stores ready to be utilised.
