Kudzu root powder is a powder made from the dried roots of kudzu. Its main functions include relieving muscle and joint pain, particularly providing some relief for discomfort in the neck, shoulders, waist, and back. Kudzu root powder can also promote blood circulation, improve microcirculation, and help alleviate headaches and hypertension.
Kudzu root powder has certain antioxidant properties, helping to remove free radicals from the body and slow down the aging process. It can also support digestive system health, improve gastrointestinal function, and relieve constipation.
In terms of consumption, kudzu root powder can be added to water, milk, or juice, with a usual dose of 10 to 15 grams each time. The ingredients can be adjusted according to personal taste, or it can be used as part of recipes, such as being added to porridge, soups, or noodles. Dosage should be carefully controlled to avoid excessive intake that may negatively affect health. Individuals with specific health conditions or those currently taking other medications should consult a physician before use.
