Cheerios Wrote:Hi everybody,

He Shou Wu is not a Chinese dish it's a Chinese herb of somekind, and for centuries the Chinese have used it to nourish their hair, and keep it from going grey, keeping their hair youthful. I've been researching up on it and have come across a few sites that claim it is 'effective' (take it with a grain of salt) in helping hair loss. As you know, you rarely see bald Chinese men, the majority of them, men and women, have youthful locks. I thought this would be helpful for people wearing toppers, who want to preserve their side hair

There are some links here if you are interested:

For those in the UK, Sen Health sell a herbal tea blend and syrups, simply called 'Hair'.

Heres a link to the tea blend:

And the herbal syrup:

Its abit pricey, but I do know that their teas are very strong (they recommend you do not drink more than 3 cups a day- their 'Serenity' tea knocks me out ). Sen have stores in Mayfair, Westbourne Grove (Notting Hill), Green Park, Kensington (on Church Street), and in Harvey Nich's London store on the 4th floor

You can order off their site for anybody interested. Also, if you look around you might be able to find supplements from other health stores that are less pricey.

Hope to have helped.

P.S. I grow my own Wheatgrass, and juice it everyday (health freak I know) and I'm sure my hair has gotten thicker.

Also, just to say, I'm not a seller from Sen or for He Shou Wu lol, just sharing knowledge.

Bye guys,

Cheerios.

Yes, it's a commonly and widely used Chinese herb.
Contrary to what some of the links you post claim, it's not for and was never used to prevent hair lose.
It's to nourish the hair and can sometimes, in some people delay/slow/prevent graying.
It's really inexpensive. Anyone trying to sell it for more than a few dollars is simply a rip off artist.
The pills are the pure herb with the sugar coating and the premixed drink contains some other herbs and is used mostly as a general tonic.
