Rebuild, Rejuvenate & Restore with He Shou Wu – The Longevity Root

He Shou Wu (Fo-ti) is one of the most legendary longevity tonics in Traditional Chinese Medicine, known for its ability to replenish blood, nourish the organs, and restore vitality from the inside out. This powerful root supports fertility, hormone balance, and energy levels—while also promoting radiant skin and healthy, youthful hair.

Both calming and energizing, our He Shou Wu (minimum 6 year old root) works by stimulating the body’s production of superoxide dismutase, one of the most potent antioxidants known. It fortifies red blood cell membranes, improves circulation, and tonifies the kidneys and liver—making it a foundational herb for graceful aging, vitality, and reproductive health.

  • Promotes Longevity & Vitality – Stimulates production of antioxidants like SOD.
  • Builds Blood & Circulation – Strengthens red blood cells and nourishes the entire system.
  • Supports Fertility & Hormonal Balance – Tonic for reproductive and endocrine health.
  • Restores Hair & Skin Health – Known to help restore natural hair color and promote glow.
  • Tonifies Organs & Replenishes Qi/Yin – Deep nourishment for long-term wellness and energy.

A note on preparation: Our He Shou Wu is traditionally prepared with a black soybean decoction, a processing method used to transform the raw root into the prepared tonic form known as Zhi He Shou Wu. While the soybeans themselves are not an ingredient in the finished powder, individuals with a soy allergy or sensitivity should be aware that trace amounts of soy may remain from processing.

  • Keep lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place.
  • Always use a dry spoon or scoop.
  • This product is particularly sensitive to moisture. If you are not using it daily or consistently, we recommend storing the jar in the refrigerator or freezer to help prevent moisture absorption and hardening.
  • Refrigeration or freezing will not affect the quality or potency of the product.

Deeply Restorative

"I've been taking He Shou Wu for over 1 month. I started with a smaller dose and worked up to 1 serving a day. It has a really pleasant smell and taste, kind of chocolate like. The immediate benefits I noticed were improved sleep and HRV. I wasn't expecting to see results so fast. I have some new baby hairs coming in and my hair is growing faster. I started taking this hoping to expand my capacity and resiliency and it seems to be doing just that. The beauty benefits feel like a bonus. I'm also taking the Marine Collagen. I appreciated learning about the synergism of these two products through the email newsletter. This combo is dynamite."

He Shou Wu Saved my hair!

"Since late 2024 when I started marine collagen, I shortly started to add he shou wu, pearl powder and rose to my routine in either a hot chocolate or tea, the results were astonishing as my hair was healing from a bleach experience that over processed my hair, it had to be cut to my shoulders and now not only has the texture of my natural curls recovered but my hair has a shine again while still growing 🌸 and it is silky soft, since starting to take all these supplements together I have since stopped bleach just to see the difference, in these photos you can see how the bleach is almost fully grown out and it is now just below my middle back which is an insane recovery!! I highly recommend! I would also like to note I have noticed an incredible difference in my skin and I hardly break out anymore. Root & Bones has truly helped not only my hair skin and nails but my inner confidence has been restored!"

New Favorite 😍

"Per usual, I come to the herbs for their beautifying effects, but stay for the health benefits. I looove this he shou wu. The flavor is deep, caramel-y, and earthy…I actually love the taste of it in my coffee. Forever in my herb rotation ☕️"

— B (5/5)

He Shou Wu

"Excellent Product! Really happy with the quality and preparation. For anyone expecting this to turn your grays back immediately, that probably won't happen, but over the last 6 moths I have seen multiple hairs regain color. I have probably been under too much stress for too long for all my hair to go back to brown, but even seeing a few change means there must be incredible things happening internally too! My menstrual cycle has normalized in the last few months, and my energy is much better."

— Yolanda (5/5)

Balanced flavor, deep nourishment

Growth

"He Shou Wu has become part of a much bigger journey for me. I’m learning that working with herbs isn’t always about one experience or an immediate result, but about consistency and building a daily practice. What drew me to He Shou Wu was learning about its traditional use in TCM and its relationship to nourishing and restoring vitality. The more I learned, the more curious I became, and that curiosity is something I’ve come to really value in my herbal practice. Being consistent with herbs has fortified more than my knowledge. It has taught me to slow down, pay attention, and build a relationship with the botanicals I’m working with. It has also made me more intentional about quality, sourcing, and supporting sustainable practices. I also love supporting a women-owned business. As someone working toward that goal myself, there is something meaningful to me about supporting another woman’s work and the care she is putting into what she is building. He Shou Wu has become another part of that ongoing practice of curiosity, learning, and showing up for myself each day—and I’m grateful for where that has led me."
