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:

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.
