Kudzu Root Against Addiction
Kudzu vine is a prolific "weed" of the legume family found growing rampantly in the southern United States. Kudzu vine root, which can be used to make a tasty alternative to wheat flour for baking, has been used as a medicinal herb in China for over 2,200 years and has been noted for treating drunkenness since 600 A.D. The starchy root and its extracts have been proven to help Oriental people overcome alcohol addiction, sober up faster, block alcohol's intoxicating effects and prevents hangovers. Scientific studies in the U.S. support these findings.
Jean Carper, in her book, Miracle Cures, provides convincing evidence on kudzu root tea and extracts for abating and even curing alcoholism. Jean Carper reports how a doctor from Harvard Medical School was highly impressed by the reports that he heard from over a dozen medical practitioners in China. Based on 300 cases of chronic alcoholism, kudzu tea and extracts were reported to be effective at suppressing the desire for alcohol and improving the function of alcohol-affected organs, usually within a week, with no toxic side effects. Even more promising was the report that eighty percent of the alcoholics said that their cravings were completely gone after two to four weeks. These findings have been supported by research at Harvard with a strain of alcohol-craving hamsters that preferentially always chose alcohol over water when given the choice (and lots of it, equivalent to a human drinking 5 cases of wine per day). Researchers found that right away after being given kudzu root or standardized extracts of the phytoestrogens daidzin and daidzein, the hamsters drank half as much alcohol; when the kudzu was eliminated they went back to their booze. Other animal studies have found the same results. Researchers are also looking into the beneficial effect of kudzu on normalizing brain hormone levels, such as serotonin and dopamine, natural brain "opiates". Because of all this impressive research, human clinical trials are finally underway in the U.S.; but why wait to jump on a bandwagon that's been helping people already for over 2000 years.
Benefit
1>Preventing cancer and treating menopause
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center states that more research needs to be done, but the isoflavone tectaorigenin that is found in kudzu may help to stop the replication and proliferation of cancer cells and tumors and therefore help to prevent and treat cancer. Due to the isoflavone pueraria found in kudzu, kudzu may also help to treat menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
2>Treating alcoholism
The isoflavones found in kudzu root extract are also used to treat alcohol related disorders. Kudzu is beneficial to alcoholism because it is purported to suppress alcohol cravings and reduce alcohol consumption. It also helps to shorten the duration of alcohol induced sleep and lower peak alcohol levels. In addition, kudzu has been found to help reduce the effects of alcohol hangovers, such as headaches, dizziness, upset stomach and vomiting.
3> Lowering blood pressure
Kudzu may also help to promote cardiovascular system health in a variety of ways. "Nursing Herbal Remedies Handbook" states that the isoflavones found in kudzu reduce high cholesterol levels, lower high blood pressure and help to prevent the blood from becoming sticky, clumping together and forming blood clots. In addition, kudzu extracts help to dilate blood vessels and increase oxygen and blood flow to the heart and brain, and kudzu is sometimes used to treat angina.
