Edit: if you are an herbalist in WNC please reach out if you are interested in dried kudzu root. We are starting conversations on how to best move forward. 🖤 ..... Dehydrated kudzu root from this uncanny annual harvest... We are still discussing next steps. We want to keep harvesting and getting kudzu to WNC herbalists to use in decoctions, but it is going to take some coordination and logistics to make it happen. We will keep y’all posted over the next few days. - Kudzu Culture Root R+D Camp 2020 🌱🖤 . 🌱☕️✨😌🌧🌱✨ . #kudzu #kuzu #kudzuculture #eatingthevinethatatethesouth #humanuse #cultureofuse #kudzuroot #kuzuroot
We (Lauren, Zev, and Justin) are discussing next steps. We have been applying for grants over the last couple of years to attempt to scale up our existing processes, which requires a lot of labor. We could address bottlenecks with some basic equipment. — It’s been an existing goal of ours to make unpolluted, chemical free kudzu root accessible to people who need it. — Here we find ourselves unable to meet demand that is stemming from the use of kudzu in TCM treatment recommendations of SARS related viruses. — To be sure everyone understands: kudzu is *not* a preventative for SARS, however it is listed by numerous sources, including the Chinese Government Office if Traditional Chinese Medicine, as a component of decoctions used in treatment. Blog entry on our website. Link in bio. More plans to come. Much love, y’all! ✨🌱
Last week, on the same day the World Health Organization declared the spread of Covid-19 a global pandemic, the Kudzu Culture team was unpacking our cars and trucks among scurrying groundhogs and blooming daffodils at our 9th annual Kudzu Root Camp. Dissonant as it felt to be digging roots on a quiet hillside while the whole human world was plunging into crisis, it turns out we’re in just the right place for this moment: very recent research being carried out in China are pointing to none other than kudzu root as a key ingredient in herbal preparations for treating Covid-19. In our bio is a link to our website/blog where we are posting links to some of this recently emerging information on kudzu and Covid-19 and related research (Some of the links are to non-English sources – if you’re using Chrome, you should be prompted with an option to translate. If not, you can try to right-click the page and look for the ‘translate’ option). We’ll update this post with more links as we come across them. Much appreciation to everyone for supporting our research and work so we may bring kudzu root to people who need it.
