- ‘Awa, or Kava kava (Piper methysticum), is the best researched herb for reducing feelings of anxiety and promoting relaxation and restful sleep.
- Kava has important cultural and ritual significance for all Polynesian peoples, who use it to this day to communicate with their Gods and Goddesses.
- It helps relieve insomnia, fatigue, nervousness, and provides a deep, restful sleep with vivid, clear and colorful dreams.
- It cleanses and flushes the urinary tract.
- It relaxes tense muscles and helps to relieve chronic pain, such as arthritis, with its analgesic and diuretic effects.
- It is even used as an aphrodisiac!
Kava Safety
Kava is safe for occasional use if taken as directed. Information published in a European study several years ago caused panic when it stated that kava can cause liver damage. However, the American Botanical Council (www.herbalgram.org) has determined that there is no causative relationship between kava usage and liver problems. In fact, they report that "Expert analysis of case reports says there is insufficient evidence to make causal connection."
