Hello, Kudzu flower (Pueraria lobata flower) possesses certain alcohol-metabolizing, spleen-stimulating, and hepatoprotective effects. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as post-alcohol vomiting. Additionally, it exhibits hemostatic properties and may be employed therapeutically in cases of excessive alcohol consumption accompanied by dizziness, epigastric or abdominal distension, hematemesis, nausea, and acid regurgitation. Kudzu flower is also effective in managing hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, and offers some preventive and therapeutic benefits for hypertension.
