The method of consuming kudzu root starch is relatively simple: first, mix a small amount of cold water with the kudzu root starch to form a smooth paste; then, stir in boiling water until well combined; finally, add some honey for flavor—though honey may be omitted for those who prefer unsweetened preparations. Kudzu root starch offers numerous health benefits, including promoting skin beauty and radiance, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the spleen, generating body fluids and relieving thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing the stomach, and calming the mind. However, as kudzu root starch is cold in nature, it should not be consumed long-term or in excessive amounts, as this may lead to adverse effects such as diarrhea or vomiting.
