Can kudzuvine root powder relieve hangover? How to use it?

There is a certain basis that pueraria lobata can relieve alcoholism. It is recorded in the ancient book Qian Jin Fang Yao that fresh Radix Puerariae is used to treat drunkards. According to the theory of medicinal properties, its anti-hangover effect is: "treating ascending qi, vomiting, appetizing and eating, relieving alcoholism and quenching polydipsia" Chinese medicine believes that wine is brewed from the semen of Shuigu, and its body is damp and hot. If you drink less, you can promote qi and blood circulation, help digestion inside and keep out the cold outside. Drinking too much damages the spleen and stomach, and the internal resistance of wet drinking is endogenous. Pueraria lobata is cool, which can stimulate spleen and stomach to clear yang, promote fluid production to quench thirst, awaken spleen to relieve hangover, and cure thirst after drinking; It tastes sweet and sweet, has muscle-relieving effect, and can make the wine wet from the outside. Therefore, for drunkenness, Pueraria lobata can really play the role of "the right medicine".

In addition, puerarin contained in Pueraria lobata can improve microcirculation of heart and brain, denature red blood cells, improve blood supply in ischemic areas, help enough red blood cells to reach the brain quickly, promote the functional recovery of damaged nerve cells, and reduce the inhibition of ethanol metabolites on cardiovascular and respiratory centers. In short, modern pharmacological research also believes that Pueraria lobata can not only relieve alcoholism, but also protect alcoholic liver injury and nervous system injury.

In addition, the flower of pueraria lobata (i.e. the unopened bud of pueraria lobata) has a good hangover relieving effect, and its efficacy is recorded in "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica": "Treating dizziness, expelling cold and intense heat, sobering up the spleen and stomach, suffering from dysentery, not thinking about diet, full chest and diaphragm, spitting sour phlegm, being drunk and hurting the stomach, vomiting blood and eliminating heat".
