With all the amazing
benefits of Kava, many ask themselves; "Is kava
addicting?" The short answer is no, kava isn’t
physically addicting in the least. We can’t imagine
going a day without our dose of fresh root, but on many
occasions, we have known many family and friends who
have stopped their Kava consumption "cold turkey" with
no noticeable withdrawal symptoms whatsoever.
Also, there have been several published studies, as well
as a couple of books that discuss the addictive
qualities of kava, but none of them have found any
evidence that kava is addicting to the human body. Yes,
we love our daily "fixes", and don’t want to live our
lives without enjoying this delicious treat at the end
of our day. So often, though, and far too quickly, a
desire for pleasure often gets labeled as an addiction!
Actually, there are a few tell-tale signs of a kava
addict, and they are simple: One is an increased sense
of well-being. Another is increased kindness and
compassion for those around him. A third is a more
relaxed way of viewing and engaging the world, not
letting the small things bother them as much as they
might have in the past.
We encourage you to look through our vast resources on
the site, which is increasing almost daily. We also have
a new blog that allows our customers to ask whatever
kava-related questions they wish, including the "Is kava
addicting?" question that we often get asked. |
