We get so many questions
about whether or not Kava can help anxiety as well as
cause it! - How many natural herbal products can boast
about having both ends of this spectrum hold true?
We think this is a testament to the wonders of this
natural herbal supplement and remedy.
In short, both cases can be true.
Although by law, we cannot say anything about whether or
not kava can be useful for treating anxiety, we can say
that we have used it in our family of organic farmers
for as long as we can trace our family back.
Although we live relatively stress-free lives here on
this beautiful island of Hawaii, the "kava
anxiety" that many refer to, we feel, is caused
by the people who are partaking in this plant, and not
the plant!
What I mean is this: The taste of kava
can be something that most have to acquire a taste for.
It can be bitter, especially when not prepared properly,
and putting a cup of this strange and unfamiliar root
can be a bit daunting for some. The anxiety is not
caused by the kava, but most-often comes from the person
partaking in the drink, unsure of what it will taste
like, and nervous about what and how it might make them
feel.
This is perfectly natural, and expected
for anything that is unfamiliar to us. But, if
you're brave enough to try, the reward is well worth the
effort!
On the flipside of the kava anxiety
debate, we know of many people who take this plant on a
regular basis to help them sleep at night, or, we have
even read reports from Europe about how kava is actually
prescribed to young ones instead of the pharmaceutical
known as Prozac! - This is quite a testimonial for our
humble little plant that has been used for thousands of
years!
I know that personally, there have been sleepless nights
in our household, and no one thinks to reach for a glass
of milk or valerian root; we automatically reach for
some fresh roots from the fridge, if we happen to have
some available. Nothing compares, in my opinion,
to staring out at the moonlight across our fields of
kava, enjoying a relaxing cup of kava to help provide me
with a restful night's sleep, free from tossing and
turning, kava anxiety, or any other stressors that leave
me wide awake and wishing for sleep.
We have seen, on occasion, overly large amounts of kava
act in reverse, making a person a little "wired", but
this has only happened when someone has taken doses far
above what the FDA recommends.
So, be smart, relax, and let your kava anxiety simply
fall to the wayside, as you open yourself up to a new
experience that may never have happened otherwise. -

TESTIMONIAL FROM A CUSTOMER:
"For me, Kava Kava has been a miracle medicine. I have
long-suffered from back pain as well as anxiety, and
after consulting with my doctor, he was skeptical, but
he did some research on Kava Kava and felt that I had
nothing to lose by giving it a try, as long as I did it
responsibly. After just 2 weeks of my personal health
program to reduce my back pain and to reduce the anxiety
I am often afflicted with, I have never felt healthier
in my life. I never believed in natural stress
relief until now.
I am not saying that this will work for everyone, but it has certainly
helped me in ways I never expected. And my program was simple; I took
the recommended dosage of Kavalactone Liquigels for a period of 2 weeks,
once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once during the evening.
This was supplemented with the powdered root once in the morning and
once at night, just before I went to sleep.
Sleep not only came much more easily to me, but my sleep was far less
restless, and with much less pain! I found that I was sleeping better,
and that alone, helped reduce my anxiety during the days.
So, for me, Kava Kava is the cure I had always wished for, but could
never find. I have been on several kinds of prescription medications,
but unlike my Kavalactone Liquigels, they all had unpleasant
side-effects. I know that this is an herbal supplement, and isn’t
intended to cure anything whatsoever, but I can honestly say that it has
worked for me, better than I had hoped. Thank you Kona Kava Farm for
providing me with a top quality product at a reasonable price. You have
a customer for life!" – Mark, Tempe, AZ |
