Kudzu, also known as Japanese arrowroot, is a trailing vine native to China, Korea and Japan that produces an oblong-shaped root tuber that resembles the potato. While fresh kudzu root is cooked as a vegetable, the dried root is used to prepare teas, tinctures and tonics. Kudzu root, which has a high concentration of isoflavones, is also processed commercially as a dietary supplement.

safetyKudzu root is safe for most people. However, this herb may reduce or increase the effects of certain medications, including birth control pills, diabetes drugs, blood pressure medications and anticoagulants (blood-thinners). Due to the estrogenic effects if isoflavones, kudzu should be avoided if there is a history of a hormone-driven condition, such as breast cancer.
