Someone gave me a box of kudzu root powder, but I was diagnosed with breast hyperplasia at the hospital last year. I want to know if it's okay to consume kudzu root powder with breast hyperplasia.
Can you consume kudzu root powder with breast hyperplasia?
Yes, you can.
Breast hyperplasia is neither a tumor nor an inflammation; it is closely related to endocrine disorders. Kudzu root powder is a starch obtained by water milling and precipitation from kudzu root. It has a sweet taste, cool nature, and enters the stomach meridian. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving fever and restlessness, and generating body fluids and quenching thirst. It does not worsen the symptoms of breast hyperplasia, so patients with breast hyperplasia can consume kudzu root powder.
Can kudzu root powder treat breast hyperplasia?
There is no obvious therapeutic effect.
Kudzu root powder contains isoflavones, which can regulate female hormone levels. However, this regulatory effect is limited, so using kudzu root powder alone cannot completely treat breast hyperplasia. It is recommended to consult a doctor and take it together with other hormone-regulating medications.
What should you pay attention to when consuming kudzu root powder with breast hyperplasia?
1. Avoid taking it on an empty stomach
Kudzu root powder has a cooling nature and taking it on an empty stomach may stimulate the intestines and stomach, causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other discomfort. It is generally recommended to take kudzu root powder half an hour to one hour after a meal.
2. Do not consume it with other stimulating foods
Such as tobacco, alcohol, fried foods, and coffee. Consuming these stimulating foods after taking kudzu root powder may affect its efficacy.
Who should not consume kudzu root powder?
1. People with weak qi and cold stomach should be cautious
Kudzu root powder has a cold nature, and taking it may stimulate the intestines and stomach of those with a cold stomach, causing discomfort such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with weak qi and cold stomach to consume kudzu root powder.
2. Pregnant women should consume it sparingly
Kudzu root powder is a cooling food, and taking it during pregnancy may increase the body's coldness, affecting the health of pregnant women and not conducive to the development of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women are advised to consume kudzu root powder in moderation.
3. People with low blood pressure and low blood sugar should consume it sparingly
Kudzu root powder contains puerarin, which can lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the body. Excessive consumption by people with low blood pressure and low blood sugar may cause dizziness, palpitations, and other discomfort.
Dietary taboos for breast hyperplasia
1. Consume less high-fat foods
Such as fatty meat, animal liver, nuts, etc. Excessive fat and animal protein can promote the synthesis and release of certain hormones in the body, thereby stimulating excessive proliferation of mammary gland epithelial cells and aggravating breast hyperplasia.
2. Avoid spicy and irritating foods
Such as ginger, garlic, chili pepper, Sichuan pepper, etc. These spicy and irritating foods can stimulate the mammary gland and worsen the condition of breast hyperplasia. Therefore, patients with breast hyperplasia should avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
3. Consume less foods high in purines
Such as coffee, cocoa, chocolate, etc. These foods contain a large amount of purines, which can promote breast hyperplasia. Therefore, breast disease patients should avoid consuming them.
