Fo-Ti (Polygonum multiflorum, also known as He Shou Wu) is an herb with a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is traditionally believed to promote longevity, restore vitality, and support reproductive health, particularly in women. In TCM, it is thought to nourish the "kidney" and "liver" systems, which are associated with reproductive function and menstrual health. Historically, it has been used for symptoms such as irregular menstruation, infertility, and menopausal complaints. However, these uses are based on traditional practice rather than modern scientific evidence.

Scientific studies on Fo-Ti have primarily focused on its antioxidant, anti-aging, and neuroprotective properties. There is limited research specifically examining its effects on the female reproductive system. Some animal studies suggest it may influence hormone levels, but these results are preliminary and not directly applicable to human health. No well-designed clinical trials have demonstrated Fo-Ti’s effectiveness for supporting female reproductive health. Therefore, while its use for this purpose is rooted in tradition, scientific validation is lacking.

In summary, the use of Fo-Ti to support the female reproductive system is primarily justified by traditional beliefs rather than robust scientific evidence.
