My husband mentioned that kudzu root has high nutritional value, but I’m not sure about its specific health benefits. Could you please explain the effects and functions of kudzu root?

Dr. Wang Lei
Kudzu root possesses effects such as relieving cough, expelling phlegm, reducing swelling, and detoxifying. It is particularly effective in treating chronic bronchitis in the elderly and carbuncles or abscesses. Additionally, kudzu root helps regulate the human immune system and enhances disease resistance. It also replenishes gastric moisture, regulates intestinal function, and provides a lubricating effect—thereby offering therapeutic and restorative benefits for gastric and duodenal ulcers.
