It is mainly used for symptoms such as fever, stiff neck, measles, fever and thirst, thirst due to yin deficiency, diarrhea due to heat and diarrhea due to spleen deficiency.

Pueraria lobata, as a common vegetable in some parts of southern China, is often drunk as soup, and contains puerarin, daidzein, protein, amino acids, calcium, iron and other nutrients, which can be described as a good tonic.

In ancient times, there was a record of Pueraria lobata relieving alcoholism, saying that "Pueraria lobata cures alcoholism and stops polydipsia", but in fact, Pueraria lobata only plays the role of diuresis and liver protection, and the real hangover is the liver. Pueraria lobata can not enhance the detoxification ability of liver to alcohol. Therefore, although Pueraria lobata can sober people up after drinking, the actual alcohol still exists in the body, and it is not an essential hangover. Therefore, for drinking, Xiaokang thinks it is appropriate to drink moderately.
