Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Feng Xin
Kudzu flower (Pueraria lobata flower) possesses hemostatic properties and helps alleviate alcohol intoxication while invigorating the spleen. Individuals experiencing discomfort symptoms such as epigastric distension and fullness, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, hiccups, or acid regurgitation due to alcohol consumption may, under the guidance of a qualified physician, appropriately use this traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treatment. Kudzu flower can be administered internally as a decoction or incorporated into pills or powders. Prior to use, it is important to note that individuals without alcohol-induced toxicity should not use this herb indiscriminately.
