Nowadays, many people have some yellow-brown spots on their faces, which is intolerable for most women. Some say that kudzu root powder has the effect of removing these spots, but is this true?
Can drinking kudzu root powder remove yellow-brown spots?
It has some effect.
Yellow-brown spots, also known as liver spots, are caused by facial yellow-brown pigment deposition and are more common in women. Kudzu root powder is a traditional Chinese medicine and also a health food. It contains isoflavones, which can help regulate the body's endocrine function, promote blood circulation, and accelerate the body's metabolism. It can reduce pigment deposition to some extent, so kudzu root powder can help remove yellow-brown spots and improve other pigmentation and acne as well.
How long does it take to remove spots with kudzu root powder?
The specific time varies from person to person.
Kudzu root powder has a certain effect in removing spots, but because everyone's physical condition is different and the depth of spots and the degree of drug absorption also vary, it is impossible to determine the specific time for effectiveness. Generally, when using kudzu root powder to remove spots, for newly formed or lighter spots, results can usually be seen in about one month.

What should be noted when using kudzu root powder to remove spots?
Notes for internal application:
1. Pay attention to the dosage. It is generally recommended to use about 20-30 grams of kudzu root powder. Excessive intake may stimulate the intestines and stomach due to the cooling nature of kudzu root powder, affecting gastrointestinal health.
2. Avoid taking on an empty stomach. Since kudzu root powder is cooling in nature, taking it on an empty stomach may irritate the intestines and stomach, which may lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is best to avoid taking kudzu root powder on an empty stomach.
3. Avoid eating with stimulating foods. When taking kudzu root powder, it is recommended to avoid consuming other stimulating foods such as alcohol, onions, garlic, ginger, Sichuan pepper, and onions. Consuming these stimulating foods after taking kudzu root powder may affect its effectiveness and absorption.
Notes for external application:
1. Choose finely ground powder. When choosing kudzu root powder for making masks, the finer the texture, the better it is for skin absorption. Large particles of kudzu root powder may damage the skin.
2. Prevent allergies. Some people with thin stratum corneum, such as those with red blood vessels and peeling on their faces, may experience allergic reactions such as red rashes and itching when applying kudzu root powder on their faces. Therefore, it is recommended to apply a small amount of kudzu root powder on the inner side of the wrist or behind the ear before use and observe for 1 hour. If there is no discomfort, it can be used.
