Kudzu root can be used to treat anxiety because of the calming effect on the body. In addition, it can also be used to treat motility issues like acid reflux, and is helpful for the recovery process from alcohol addiction. Tricia is also currently using it with clients who have flare ups for Colitis, as it’s great for indigestion too.
