Chinese herbs have been used for over centuries gaining on the most popular places in the market.Ho Shou Wu's  medicinal quality is found in its root.The herb, sometimes referred to as Fo-Ti or by its Latin name Polygonum multiflorum. Ho Shou have been used in many anti-aging and longevity beauty products. Ho Shou Wu means "black haired Mr. He".The story comes from a Chinese man,who was jailed, and when he came out from the prison after many years he was old enough by that time,but what was astonishing was when his relatives saw this old man's long black hair,which was supposed to be white for his old age.Since then Shou Wu gained its popularity in medical and cosmetology area...

Shou wu benefits include:Faster hair growth, Thicker and softer hair, prevents and reverses grey hair, helps nourish liver and kidney, increases energy, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. I started using Shou Wu five month ago when I had the worst hair cut ever,where I went from super long hair to short short,due to the stress of having exams. As a woman,we often regret the things we do to ourselves.In my case I did not feel bad or regret about my short hair which was a little longer past my ears,a little shorter than the pic below:

After I was done with my exams I needed to regrow my long hair back as the one I had before. So,I started taking the herb in capsule form which I bought from Cosway-health-store in Malaysia for about 29 MYR for sixty vegetable capsules. Each capsule also contained other herbs beneficial for hair.I took 2 capsules per day,and finished two bottles of this product.After the first bottle I realized in just one month my hair was getting long very fast,but there wasn't sign of thickness in it. After i finished by second bottle my hair I decided to start using pure Ho Shou Wu,a Chinese pharmacist recommended me to get Shou Wu from Eu Yan Sang market, which is a traditional Chinese medicine store.I bought one packet (100gm) for 4 MYR,and that's very cheap to me ,about 1.3 USD. This is how it basically looks like:

Eu Yan Sang (Ho Shou Wu)

Getting the pure Shou Wu was the best decision ever made.I divide each packet into four as the guy in the store told me to do,double boiled it with  about 1,5 liters of water and drank it as tea.I love the taste,especially the smell,the drink has a effect of calming,which I really love about it.I put my tea in the fridge and drink it in in cold way as well.Now,after experimenting Shou Wu for about 4,5 month, I can see myself with thicker hair,longer as double reaching my chest ,as well as shiny and silky hair .Shou Wu truly did it's job,I got the hair I desired for and it's one my favorite natural miracle products...I currently continue taking it as a tea and I don't think I will ever give up. 

P.S.. A Chinese lady from Cosway told me that many women consume Ho Shou Wu post pregnancy,because of losing too many hair after giving birth. According to studies of medical field other benefits of Shou Wu includes :it improves health, stamina and resistance to disease. It is used to reduce cholesterol because of its lecithin. It is used for angina pectoris, bloody stools, hypoglycaemia, diabetes, night sweating, schizophrenia, chronic bronchitis, epilepsy, head injuries, impotence, malaria, sores, cuts, and ringworm. It promotes red blood cells, helps rid intestinal parasites, and is good for resistance to cold.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR'E USING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO?

Did you know that your shampoo is your slow killer? 

3 liters of shampoo, 2 liter shower body gel, and 1 kg soap are what approximately spent in one year by a woman.

Whenever you buy shampoo, take a close look at the ingredients you are using. Do you see Sodium Laureth sulfate? (SLS)Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Ammonium Laureth Sulfate(ALS)? Formaldehyde? Parabens?Ethoxylated alcohols?Dioxane?Polysorbates?Then you need to worry!

Sodium laureth sulfate which is used in most of the shampoos in the market, it is the second ingredient in shampoo. SLS ,ALS are a foaming agent which is derived from oil refiiing. It is used in industrial products, such as detergents for cars, degreasing agents for cleaning engines and tools for cleaning floors. Sodium Laureth Sulfate is also a component of many personal care products including soaps, shampoos and toothpaste.

SLS,ALS,  turns your hair into dry and brittle hair; it also dries the skin of scalp. It works as a perfect cleanser cleaning all the dirt from the hair but it also fasten the aging of scalp skin making it old faster ,which leads to thinning hair and hair loss. 

When you wash with your usual shampoo that contains SLS, it gets deep into your hair, the root and injures the root, which leads to more oily hair. 

As a result we become addicted to shampoo, just like addiction to drugs. It has been founded that SLS,ALS are carcinogenic, which means it leads to cancer. Some of the symptoms that can occur after using SLS it itchy scalp and red eyes.

So, why do manufacturers of cleaning agents keep producing a dangerous products knowing that it does harm to people? Simple! It brings a lot of money. Fact is a fact that we use these cleaning agents all the time, no stopping; it has become an essential routine to follow.

Dioxane,ethoxylated alcohols, dioxane, polysorbates, and laureths all are cancerogenic and destroy the liver.

Formaldehyde- is another chemical substance that is toxic and leads to serious health problems

Parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben)-are added to soaps and shampoos to act as a preservative. Basically, to give the product a longer shelf life. However, researches have shown that it is also carcinogenic and has lead to breast cancer

So what to do then?

• Try to change to more organic shampoos such as from The Body Shop or Caviar which can be found in Cosway.

• Soak your hair into water for minimum 5 minutes while taking shower,so the water can close the roots which makes some chemical less penetrable into skin

• Try to avoid the above mentioned chemicals in your cosmetics as much as possible
