Kava Kava Description

Kava Kava - Kava Kava is a natural herb found in the South Sea Islands. Kava Kava acts as a strong remedy for Insomnia and for nervous conditions, including anxiety. The Pacific Islanders have used Kava Kava for centuries in ceremonial fashion for the purpose of achieving a higher level of consciousness. In its liquid form it is akin to wine for the island inhabitants. Kava Kava is naturally found growing as a bush on Fiji, Hawaii, Tahiti and Samoa. The roots of the Kava Kava plant contain chemicals known as kavapyrones that cause relief for depression and anxiety.

While Kava Kava, as a liquid or gum, is thought to be an intoxicant by some, it is still widely relied upon as a nonalcoholic supplement because of its relaxing qualities. It is very effective in relaxing the muscles and in relieving sleeplessness. Use of Kava Kava is as common as aspirin use in those who believe in it. Taking too much Kava Kava can cause un-coordination. If this is detected a physician should be consulted.
