I have been taking Kudzu for a few days. I have gotten up to 300 ml/day, a little more than half a teaspoon. The herb seems to help as an anti-inflammatory and to clear the mind, but I have started to have trouble sleeping. Anybody else have sleep issues with this herb? Does it pass?

I found this online:
The body breaks down caffeine (contained in kudzu) to get rid of it. https://www.rxlist.com/kudzu/supplements.htm
Any truth to caffeine in kudzu?

I took kudzu for a few months - didn’t affect my sleep.

Kudzu has me wired.
How did it help you and why did you stop taking it?

I was taking Kudzu for nerve healing - I read about it in buhners bart book.

After one bottle - I decided not to buy anymore... it wasn’t helping anything - but maybe I stopped too soon.

Interesting. Kudzu has been either a herx or a setback for me. I am going to give it a couple more days.
Have either of you used Chinese Skullcap? Did it help, if so how?

I haven’t taken the Chinese Skullcap.

Thanks, so far I am backing off taking Kudzu after 8pm. It has helped with fatigue, but not with inflammation.

Wow, near puke, that sucks. How many mg/day of doxy are you taking?
Kudzu is cut back to 200ml/day for me. If arthritis flare keeps up, I'll eliminate Kudzu from my protocol. Big disappointment. Sage woman says, Kudzu - is anti-inflammatory and soothing to the joints and hydrating to the ligaments. You can try 2 droppers 2 x a day. Effect is the opposite for me.

I've been on Buhner's protocol about 8 months. Doing a lot better until I took Kudzu. Lot's of trial and error in being your own doctor.

I'm doing Buhner's Lyme protocol. No evidence of coinfections. I read Buhner's book. Very complicated at some points, but also very useful.
I am going to use Cowden as my back up, but I think Buhner's Japanese Knotweed and Andrographis are more powerful that Cowden's Samento & Banderol as anti-bacterial.
Don't know anything about Jernigan
