KWAO KRUA KAO
Pueraria mirifica

Local communities in Thailand have used Kwao Kreu Kao (pueraria mirifica) for generations for its rejuvenating qualities.
In May 1931, Luang Anusan Suntara published a pamphlet on the subject of kwao Kreu describing different ways of preparing
folk herbal remedy using Kwao Krua (pueraria mirifica) and the claims of it's rejuvenating power.
It is stated in the pamphlet that pueraria mirifica can;

Serve as the fountain of youth for aged men and woman.

Serve as a anti-wrinkle agent for aged and wrinkled skin.

Darken white hair and increase hair growth.

Alleviate cataract problems.

Help with memory loss.

Increase energy and vigor, more reflexive bodily movements.

Increase blood circulation.

Increase appetite.

Alleviate sleep disorders.

In 1932, Dr. A.F.G. Kerr, the Director of the Botanical Section of the Journal of the Siam Society,
directed the attention of the scientific community to the fact that the tuberous roots of a Thai plant called
Kwao Krue originally mistakenly identified as Butea Superba, were considered to be of value as a rejuvenating herb.
Dr. Kerr was the first to create international awareness of the rejuvenating qualities of this plant which subsequently
led to the isolation of a potent phytoestrogen that is unique to this plant and to the identification of the plant
as Pueraria Mirifica in 1952.
