A revered herb, Fo-Ti Root facilitates deeper healing. System-wide rejuvenation at the cellular level. This can be obtained! Traditionally, Fo-Ti Root has been used to unblock the channels of energy through the body, allowing the escape of the pathogenic influences that cause generalized weakness, soreness, pain, and fatigue. Earthy and bitter tasting, Fo-Ti is accompanied by the juicy tartness of sweet raspberries. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
