http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/free-herb-information/kudzu.htmlKudzu is one of the earliest medicinal plants, used in traditional Chinese medicine, with many profound pharmacological actions, including antidipsotropic
(antialcohol abuse) activity. Research and pilot studies at various Universities, found that two isoflavones in kudzu, daidzin and daidzein, taken orally, may reduce the craving for alcohol, and be of assistance in suppressing the appetite of patients with chronic alcoholism. Kudzu influences areas of the central nervous system that control the desire for alcohol. Research at Jiwaji University, India, found that kudzu extract helps stimulate regeneration to areas damaged by toxins. Kudzu has many healing properties. These are well documented in ‘The Book of Kudzu, a Culinary and Healing Guide’ by W Shurtleff and A. Aoyagi. Uses have included: cough and colds, tonsillitis, measles, fevers, diarrhea and dysentery, intestinal ailments, enteritis, constipation, to remove excess fluid from the body, digestive disorders, bad breath, headaches and hangovers, sinus, anemia, internal bleeding, thirst, to relieve hunger, for lack of energy, sexual apathy, impotence, infertility, asthma, diabetes, bronchitis, pneumonia, hypoglycemia, muscles shrinking, dizziness, induce perspiration and as a strengthening and invigorating effect on the spleen, stomach and intestines, in fact the whole immune system.
