Pueraria mirifica (Thai kudzu)<br />
Pueraria mirifica is an indigenous herb of <strong>Thailand</strong>,<br />
known as "Kwao Kreu" or "Kwao Kreu Kao" (White<br />
Kwao Kreu). It belongs to the Leguminosae,<br />
subfamily Papilionoideae, or the soy, bean & pea<br />
subfamily.<br />
Active principles in this plant are found in the tuberous root,<br />
which looks like a chain of round-shaped bulbs of various<br />
sizes connected to the next one via small root throughout<br />
the entire length of the root. The shape and size of the<br />
tuberous root are diverse depending on the environment in<br />
which it exists.<br />
In a 2007 comparison study of the efficacy of Pueraria mirifica (PM) against<br />
Conjugated Equine Estrogen (CEE) with/without Medroxyprogesterone Acetate<br />
(MPA) in the treatment of climacteric symptoms in perimenopausal women –<br />
PM was found to have estrogenic effect as similar as CEE, alleviating<br />
climacteric symptoms, but without risk of increase of breast cancer incidence<br />
typically associated with CEE and/or MPA treatments.
