The bane of the south, a creeping ivy that has no natural predators. Not for long, though. Kudzu has enormously beneficial properties that, in my wildest fantasies, would pay farmers more than their tobacco crop. Wouldn’t that be nice?
However, the medicinal benefits of the American variety has not yet been proven by 2,000 years of clinical observation and so we continue to use the Chinese variety (as 5:1 potency extract powder) in the formulas available at Eagle Herbs.

When it comes to how something works, modern scientific biomedicine is very keen to understand medicinal mechanisms. While it is true that traditional Chinese medicine doesn’t make use of microscopes or molecular models to explain the effect of our therapies, we do have a very well developed theoretical framework to explain the actions of herbs.

Up until very recently, Kudzu was considered in the USA to be an unfortunate agricultural problem of the south, where this ivy has taken over millions of acres with no natural predators and a perfect climate in which to thrive.
