Efficacy and Functions of Kudzu Flower
Disease description:
Last night, I went out and drank a lot of alcohol, and the drinking session ended quite late. This morning, after arriving at the office, I still hadn’t fully sobered up. A colleague suggested drinking some Pueraria flower (kudzu flower) tea—what are the medicinal properties and effects of Pueraria flower?

Dr. He Haochen
Kudzu flower (Pueraria lobata flower) is clinically used to dispel wind-heat. When steeped in hot water and consumed as a tea, it can treat symptoms such as common cold and fever caused by exogenous wind-cold invasion. It also possesses the effects of uplifting yang qi and arresting diarrhea, effectively alleviating symptoms—including diarrhea, abdominal distension, and loose stools—in affected patients. Additionally, kudzu flower exhibits liver-protective and spleen-stimulating properties; thus, it can effectively relieve alcohol intoxication in individuals who have consumed excessive alcohol.
