Kudzu
Kudzu is a coarse, high-climbing, twining, trailing, perennial vine. The
huge root, which can grow to the size of a human, is the source of
medicinal preparations used in traditional Chinese medicine and modern
herbal products. Kudzu grows in most shaded areas in mountains, fields,
along roadsides, thickets, and thin forests throughout most of China and
the southeastern United States. The root of another Asian species of
kudzu, Pueraria thomsonii, is also used for herbal
products.(1)
Kudzu is cooked as food in China, and also is used as
a traditional Chinese medicine herb. In the United States, however, kudzu
has become an invasive pest. This perennial vine that has choked out other
vegetation and killed trees has been the subject of recent study. Long
used in traditional Chinese medicine for conditions such as hypertension,
neck and backaches, and coronary heart disease, kudzu has been shown to be
effective in curbing alcohol consumption. The amazing results of a recent
clinical trial that took place at McLean Hospital in Belmont Massachusetts
were just released: in a naturalistic laboratory setting, kudzu
supplementation led to fewer beers consumed, smaller sips, and a greater
amount of time between sips.
