Early Graying

Some people for various reasons experience premature graying. Much of this I believe can be attributed to our high stress life style which weakens the adrenal glands. I have been told of people who went gray in a day during World War II due to the stress they experienced. Although for most of us the effect is slower and more
gradual. However, the herb Fo-Ti has been used by many to stop and in some cases reverse this effect. When I have been under extreme stress for a long time I also consider taking a good adrenal supplement along with the Fo-Ti. Additionally, there is a theory that as stress produces the secretions from the adrenals to increase physical strength it must be metabolised through work/exercise. If the chemicals are not metabolised they eventually become stored in the joint fluids ultimately causing joint weakness and illness.

I buy a bottle of each and take 1 or 2 adrenal each morning with my meal and 1-2 Fo-Ti later in the evening. I believe one of the benefits to Fo-Ti is that it stimulates the night time hepatic, Liver to Kidney, circulation. Taking a capsule in the evening will increase the circulation or flow that moves between the Liver and the Kidney at night. Fo-Ti is also consider to be one of the longevity herbs. I suspect this is because it strengthens the kidney which is considered to be one of the storage points for the life energy following the heart. Because erectile dysfunction can be caused by kidney weakness (not the only possible cause) it sometimes restores healthy male activities. As with all my strategies I would buy a bottle of each and test it until I was satisfied it was helping. If it did not help me I would stop it and look further until I found a good solution.
