Kudzu Cold Tea
In the past, many people also underestimated the common cold, but because the initial symptoms of a cold are similar to those of the novel coronavirus, even after completing two doses of the vaccine, people dare not take it lightly.
A common cold means contracting a wind pathogen. When one's vital energy is insufficient, external pathogens can invade, causing discomfort. This leads to an imbalance in the lungs and stomach, resulting in symptoms such as headaches, nasal congestion, runny nose, and general malaise.
At the onset of a cold, you can steep 10 grams of kudzu root in hot water for 15 minutes and drink it.
Kudzu root is sweet and pungent in taste, cool in nature, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians. It can relieve muscle tension and reduce fever, promote fluid production and quench thirst, facilitate the eruption of measles, and raise yang and stop diarrhea. Its diaphoretic and exterior-releasing effects are often used to relieve headaches and neck pain caused by exogenous fever, and it also helps with diabetes and diarrhea.
In addition, kudzu root has significant effects in lowering blood pressure, helping to dilate blood vessels, thereby reducing vascular tension, and is particularly effective for neck pain caused by hypertension.
Kudzu root was first documented in "Shennong Ben Cao Jing" (The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), stating: "Kudzu root treats diabetes, high fever, vomiting, various pains, promotes yin qi, and detoxifies." The most widely known mention comes from the "Shanghan Lun" (Treatise on Cold Damage) by the famous physician Zhang Zhongjing, which describes Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction). Various formulations of Ge Gen Tang instant cold remedies are available on the market, and many people even purchase concentrated kudzu root granule preparations when traveling to Japan.
Kudzu root is the root of wild kudzu, distinct from the Pueraria lobata used for making soup. In addition to its edible root, kudzu flowers are also suitable for brewing tea.
Kudzu flower is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It can invigorate the spleen and harmonize the stomach, relieve alcohol intoxication, and alleviate headaches and vomiting caused by excessive drinking.
