Introduced to America from Japan, Kudzu, (Pueraria lobata) (also known as kuzu) has been revered in the Orient for over 2000 years. First mentioned in the herbal of the Divine Plowman, Emperor Shen-Nong, it is now listed in the Chinese Parmacopeia.
Kudzu finds value in the alternative healthcare and nutrition market. Careful preparation of Kudzu helps promote consistent results when used as part of a proactive program to overcome detrimental health habits.
Kudzu has reportedly been used over 1,000 years by Asian herbalists for alcoholism and to curb alcohol craving. Interestingly, a Harvard study conducted with lab animals confirmed that compounds found in Kudzu, reduced their alcohol consumption by 50%. Kudzu also supports nerve tissue and is a thickening agent.
