Kudzu (or Kuzu) is a leguminous plant that grows wild in the mountains and fields of Japan. A very strong plant, it has vines that wrap around trees and eventually pull the trees down. A snow-white starch is made from the kudzu root and has been used as a food and a medicine by the Japanese since ancient times. Kudzu is effective in treating colds and cures many ailments, such as high blood pressure, stiff muscles,neuralgia, and rheumatism.
