Legend has it that at 58 years old, Ho Shou Wu could not conceive a child. After being advised to take Fo-Ti Root for his problem, he fathered many children, and amazingly, his hair turned from gray to black while his body looked younger. This legendary man supposedly lived to be 160 years old, with his children living to be 130 years old. Their long lives were attributed to the magical Fo-Ti Root. When he died, Ho Shou Wu still had his youthful black hair, and Ho Shou Wu, translated in Chinese, means Black Haired Mr. Ho. The fo-Ti root remains one of the most highly praised herbs in Chinese medicine used to support the aging process possibly.
