Background and Use
The Chinese common name for Fo-Ti is He-Shou-Wu, which is the name of a Tang dynasty man whose infertility was supposedly cured by Fo-Ti. In addition, his long life was attributed to the tonic properties of this herb. Since then, Traditional Chinese Medicine has used Fo-Ti to treat premature aging, weakness, vaginal discharges, numerous infectious diseases, angina pectoris, and erectile dysfunction. This is yet to be proven by modern scientific research.
