Hi again!
Found that article I´d read & posted some time back here on CZ - there are many more articles, if you´d like to know more about this amazing plant that can be bought in any Asian store.... It usually comes in a white, fine-powdery form and can also be used like one uses cornstartch, mixed into stews or veggies.

Kudzu a root and another natural way for curbing the symptoms of alcohol addiction... the following is from Wikipedia... google Kuzu (or kudzu) for more info.

[edit] Medicine
Studies have shown that kudzu can reduce both hangovers and alcohol cravings.[5][6][7] Persons who take kudzu will still drink alcohol; however, they will consume less than if they had not taken kudzu.[8] The mechanism for this is not yet established, but it may have to do with both alcohol metabolism and the reward circuits in the brain. The Harvard Medical School is studying kudzu as a possible way to treat alcoholic cravings, by turning an extracted compound from the herb into a medical drug.[9]

Kudzu also contains a number of useful isoflavones, including daidzein (an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent), daidzin (a cancer preventive) and genistein (an antileukemic agent). Kudzu is a unique source of the isoflavone puerarin. Kudzu root compounds can affect neurotransmitters (including serotonin, GABA, and glutamate) and it has shown value in treating migraine and cluster headache.[10] It is recommended for allergies and diarrhea.[11]

Research in mice models suggests that Kudzu is beneficial for control of some post-menopausal symptoms such as hypertension and diabetes type II.[12]

In traditional Chinese medicine, where it is known as gé gēn (葛根), kudzu is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs. It is used to treat tinnitus, vertigo, and Wei syndrome (superficial heat close to the surface).[citation needed].

All the best and God bless you for your sincere efforts!
