Kudzu root has been known for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as ge-gen. The first written mention of the plant as a medicine is in the ancient herbal text of Shen Nong (about A.D.100). In traditional Chinese medicine, kudzu root is used in prescriptions for the treatment of thirst, headache, and stiff neck with pain due to high blood pressure. Kudzu root extract is also recommended for allergies, migraine headaches, inadequate measles eruptions in children, and diarrhea. Kudzu root extract is also used in modern Chinese medicine as a treatment for angina pectoris.
