Polygonum Multiflorum, or “He Shou Wu” is considered as one of the most important among Chinese herbal tonics. It has been anecdotally said to restore vitality and virility, working especially on the liver and the reproductive, urinary and circulatory systems. Some care should be exercised, as ingesting excessive doses of Polygonum can cause skin rash and numbness of the extremities of the body. They are very effective in reducing high cholesterol levels in the blood and increase blood sugar levels. Externally, extracts from this plant are used to treat ringworm, bleeding wounds and sores.

History Of Polygonum Multiflorum

One of the most popular herbs in Chinese medicine has the botanical name Polygonum Multiflorum. This prolific vine has heart-shaped leaves and several different names: Chinese knotweed, shou wu, fo-ti, flowered fleece, and jiaotong (twisted vine) to name a few.

One of these common names describes how it works as a medicine for hair: he shou wu (Mr. He with black hair). The myth is that of a single middle-aged alcoholic who found love and redemption through this mysterious root.

Uses And Benefits For Hair

As with ginseng, the root of Polygonum takes on an amazing human form after 2 to 3 years of cultivation. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is the subject of a very special preparation: the fresh tubers are sliced and then cooked in a black bean soup before being dried. This preparation, both medicinal and food, is indicated to strengthen the kidneys, revitalize the hair and effectively fight against alopecia. The leaves of Polygonum also seem to have an anti-aging action.

How To Use Polygonum

There are two common ways to use this herb, and you’ll see why we prefer the second method.

Oral Consumption – Like other invigorating herbs, polygonum can be taken regularly at moderate doses for months and years to have significant anti-aging results. Some people use this herb as a mild laxative, so it could be uncomfortable and even dangerous to consume a large amount of it at once. A typical daily dose is 3 grams, three times a day. It has a slight sedative effect and it is therefore good to take it before going to sleep.
Topical Application – Polygonum extract can be used directly on your hair and skin for numerous benefits. Reducing grey hair is a major reason. Our PURC Polygonum Shampoo bar can be very useful for you if in curbing hair greying. It also noticeably promotes hair growth on regular usage.

Side Effects Of The Herb

It is known for some laxative effect if eaten in a large quantity. Other minor and temporary side effects of eating Polygonum may include bloating, flatulence, nausea, and diarrhea. Consult your doctor to determine if this supplement is suitable for you. You should also consult a doctor before incorporating this supplement with any prescription or over-the-counter medication. Polygonum multiflorum may interact with certain medications and may be inappropriate for people with certain health conditions. Follow the label directions very carefully and monitor yourself for side effects.

“The best way to minimize side-effects is using this herb externally. Our Polygonum Shampoo Bar can help you get the benefits and negate all the side-effects of consuming Polygonum.”
