Can patients with nodules drink kudzu root tea?

Whether patients with nodules can drink kudzu root tea mainly depends on the nature of the nodules. If the nodules are unrelated to hormone levels, moderate consumption of kudzu root tea under medical guidance is generally acceptable. However, if the nodules are associated with hormone levels, drinking kudzu root tea is not recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows: If the nodules are unrelated to hormone levels but caused by factors such as inflammation, infection, or trauma, kudzu root tea generally does not directly affect these types of nodules. Moderate consumption typically does not lead to adverse outcomes such as nodule enlargement or malignant transformation. Additionally, kudzu root has effects of relieving muscle tension, reducing fever, promoting saliva production, and quenching thirst. Drinking moderate amounts of kudzu root tea may offer certain health benefits, such as alleviating thirst and improving heat-related symptoms. However, if the nodules are hormone-related, such as breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, etc., the isoflavone compounds in kudzu root may affect estrogen levels in the body and thereby influence the growth of nodules. Therefore, patients with such conditions should be cautious when consuming kudzu root tea. Before considering drinking kudzu root tea, patients with nodules are advised to consult a physician to determine whether it is suitable based on their individual health condition. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary diversity and balanced intake of various nutrients to ensure overall nutritional balance.
