🛍 Product Information :
Polygonum multiflorum, scientifically known as *Fallopia multiflora* (also called *Polygonum multiflorum*), also known as *Night Crossing Vine* and *Shouwu*, is a common Chinese medicinal herb.
Introduction:
- It is a perennial, twining herb with a large tuberous root, reddish-brown or dark-brown bark, ovate leaves, and small yellow-white flowers in autumn.
- It is primarily grown in southern and central China, growing on hillsides or in woodlands.
- Its root is primarily used medicinally, boasting benefits such as nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving blood and essence, blackening hair, strengthening bones and tendons, and lowering blood lipids (the processed "processed" Polygonum multiflorum) has a milder, more nourishing effect).
- It is commonly used for symptoms such as blood deficiency, sallow complexion, graying hair, dizziness, tinnitus, weakness in the waist and knees, and constipation. It can also be used in soups.
- Raw Polygonum multiflorum has laxative effects, detoxifying and eliminating carbuncles. However, unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum and excessive intake can be hepatotoxic. It should be taken under the guidance of a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. - The most well-known effect is *black hair*. Continuous use can help reduce gray hair and strengthen hair quality, but excessive use is not recommended.

Notes
Ornamental and edible flowers in pots generally require a combination of warmth, sunlight, and fertilizer. They are not suitable for cultivation in most urban areas, unless you have a sunny rooftop or a village house. Planting them may not be suitable for every home. If you want to increase their survival rate, consider violets and orchids, ornamental flowers that are more suitable for urban cultivation.
