EFFECTS OF KAVA

Enjoy Organic Kava kava
 

There are many notable effects of kava that are renown the world over. Throughout the plant’s long, rich history, the virtues of kava have been discussed and espoused among the people of the Pacific Islands and beyond. Most commonly, those who use kava find that it helps them focus, relax, and be more at ease in a social context. These effects have been well-documented throughout the history of the islands.

Kava produces an effect on the body like no other botanical. Unlike other herbs, or even prescription medications, kava calms as well as focuses, and it is used by everyone from athletes to businessmen to dignitaries and diplomats, to those who just want to have a peaceful ending to their day.

For sufferers of back pain, Kava has been proven to be an effective pain reliever. This is in part due to the muscle relaxing properties of this splendid plant, which, for some reason, seems to focus its natural pain relief on the back area of the body. We know a large number of people personally who have eased the pain of their arthritis, as well as removed all traces of morning back pain with kava, after growing accustomed to this pain over time, often for years.

Homeopathically, kava is used to treat such conditions as states of excitation and exhaustion. In many parts of the world (not the United States), kava is used to help reduce excitability in children, often as an alternative to Prozac. In Hawaii, restless and feverish children are given kava root (pre-chewed by their mothers), twice a day to calm and soothe them in their state of duress. All across the South Pacific, kava is used as a calmative for children and adults. It has been shown to not only calm them, but also to help them better cope with the stresses and pressures of the world around them. Reportedly, some articles we have read propose that the consumption of Prozac may have possible links to increased suicide, but there has never been a single incident like that reported throughout the long history of kava.

Traditional ritual use of the plant includes the legendary kava ceremony. Kava ceremonies date back thousands of years and are still practiced today in Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu. Kava ceremonies range from the formal ceremony to the informal gathering. They can function as a greeting custom for guests, as a component of tribal negotiations, and as part of the soothing social drinking get-togethers that take place in the evenings. Many world-class athletes and dignitaries, as well as average citizens, incorporate kava into their daily lives.

Perhaps the best part about kava is that despite all of its beneficial effects, it is completely non-addictive. For us in Hawaii, the best effect of kava is simply the sociability that it offers everyone who consumes it. We feel more comfortable and more talkative, and we feel like telling long stories late into the night, as we drink several glasses of kava throughout the night, just like your favorite drink.
