There is some evidence that Pueraria lobata can cure alcoholism. Ancient books "Thousand Golden Essentials" recorded in the fresh Pueraria Mirifica pounded juice to cure drunkenness; "medicinal properties" recorded in its effectiveness of the antidote: "treatment of the day line on the gas, vomiting, stomach under food, the main antidote to the poison of wine, thirst". Chinese medicine believes that wine is brewed from the essence of water and grains, body wet sex heat, drink less can pass the blood, internal digestion, external protection against wind and cold, if drinking alcohol inordinately, it will be the spleen and stomach damage, wet drink internal obstruction, dampness and heat within the birth. Pueraria lobata is cool in nature, in the heat, can inspire the spleen and stomach Qing Yang Qi rise, have the effect of thirst, can wake up the spleen to relieve alcohol, treatment of post-drinking internal heat and thirst; taste of pungent and sweet dispersal, with the function of muscle, can make the wine wet from the surface and solution. Therefore, for drunkenness, Pueraria lobata can indeed play a "symptomatic medicine" effect.
