P R O D U C T S - FO-TI![]() This creeping vine was first identified as a medicinal herb in 713 A.D. Perhaps because it belonged to the realm of Taoist immortality, Fo-Ti (Polygonum multiflorum) recipes have escaped many of the commonly known herbal formulas that have appeared in the Materia Medica. However, in modern times it has been widely adopted as a medicine and is the premier longevity herb of Chinese Herbal Tonics Some of Fo-Ti’s many uses include:
Today it is used as a kidney and liver tonic, and for its ability to tonify and strengthen the blood, muscles, bones and tendons.

Fo-ti is capable of increasing the fertility of men by increasing the sperm count and bolstering the libido. In women, it makes the ova more vital and increases blood. Therefore this herb is popular among couples attempting to conceive children. Fo-Ti can strengthen the whole body. It is often used by athletes to fortify the knees, lower back, ligaments and muscles, providing strength and resilience.
Fo-ti is utilized in two ways: prepared and unprepared. Fo-ti is prepared by cooking it in a soup of black bean juice.
