Starwest Botanicals, Fo-Ti Root Powder Cured Organic, 1 lb (453.6 g)

Fantabulous..on time delivery &excellent pure product

I give three stars because, first off, the company was very good in the communications department, they got right back to me, however.....be aware of the 'this product may contain Lead' warning label. I didn't see it, and then was not able to return it... after much complaining, they let me return it at my cost! Look at the labels carefully, and if you don't mind lead in your body go for it! a drag to lose money, but better to get some back than none as i would've had to dispose of it otherwise.

When I just got it, I used it regularly one teaspoon a day. After 2 weeks of this I had to run with the kids a few blocks, and I was surprised, that my breathing was not hard as it usually would have been. I think it was Fo-Ti effect. Now I am using it as a part of other tonic herb mixture, so I am not taking as much. I mix powdered herbs with apple cider vinegar and either honey or molasses, this way they are not making me choke, when I take them, and I can keep them on the counter instead of the fridge as long as I use fresh spoon each time. I do not have gray hair yet (early fourties), except for a one or two occasionally, so can't comment on effect on that, but wouldn't be surprised. It seems like it is a powerful herb, full of minerals and other good stuff, so I will keep taking it together with AMLA, Euletro root, Nopal cactus (to reduce sugar cravings by regulating blood sugar), turmeric, a bit of cinnamon, and sometimes other herbs. I do not like buying capsules because of the fillers in them and because they are pain in the neck to swallow in large enough amounts, so powders are my prefered way. The only two, that I use capsules with are cayenne pepper (I stuff my own to avoid fillers), and andrographis (one is very hot and the other is very very bitter.

EL PRODUCTO ES BUENO LO UNICO QUE NO ME GUSTO ES EL TIEMPO QUE TARDA EN LLEGAR POR LO DEMAS ESTA MUY BIEN

100% they sold me a bag of dirt!! Would’ve given zero stars if possible

I bought a package of this a year and a half ago and still have quite a bit left, but am running low enough that I thought I better check and make sure the company that sells it is still in business. I'm so happy it is, and if there are any other herbal medicinals I need going forward, these are the folks I'll be getting them from. I'm sold on this company. He Shou Wu is kind of nasty stuff but I find that if I mix it with pu'erh tea (which a lot of people also don't like) it kinda almost works flavor-wise. Else, just pound it quickly down the hatch in some warm water. The results are worth it for me. I swear on a stack of Mandarin Bibles that He Shou Wu helps my memory. I'm less forgetful at 64 years of age than I was at 20. It also promotes hair growth, which I'm in dire need of. Interestingly, the new hair that comes in has black roots, so it's possible that He Shou Wu is an evil plot by the Chinese government to turn us all into Han! Which is fine if it gives me more hair. One negative: I have noticed I'm also getting more hair in places I don't want it, like my upper arms. I don't know if that's the He Shou Wu or old age. Life is hard. If you don't like the taste of this product, you're in business. It means you bought the right stuff. I shopped around Amazon and refused to buy anything else because the product descriptions just didn't look "right" to me. I had a good feeling about this one, so I ordered it, and when I smelled it, it smelled just like the terrible stuff I used to get from acupuncturists. By the way, in my uneducated opinion, acupuncturists over-prescribe this stuff. I personally don't need anywhere near as much as they say I should take. I only take about a teaspoonful a day., which is why it's lasted so long for me, I guess. It helps more than hair growth and brain matter, too. I generally just feel better overall when I take it in the morning. I'm not one of those old guys with a bathroom cabinet full of prescriptions. I have none, as a matter of fact, because the American pharmaceutical industry is trying to kill us. Okay, exaggeration, but Americans are way overmedicated, and most of you know it. So if you need a little more hair on your head or a little improvement in neuron behavior, this is the brand to get, in my opinion. I"m betting that their other formulas are great, too, so I'd like to encourage people to try any of them if they're looking for herbal medicinals. And, best of all, they're not a rip-off. They don't spend a jillion dollars on fancy packaging and charge exorbitant prices for a pretty package. They just shove their product into an envelope and let you deal with it.
