The sacred kava kava
plant, which is related to the black pepper plant, has
traditionally had a number of uses for the people of the
Pacific Islands. In today's hectic world, it is no
wonder that people are finding a particularly powerful
calm in this bitter drink. At Kona Kava Farm, we grow
and sell organic kava in a variety of forms so that
everyone can enjoy its wonderful health benefits.
One of the most compelling uses for kava kava is the way
it can ease anxiety. Kava has long been known to have a
relaxing effect on the body, but more and more people
are using kava kava to ease the anxieties of modern-day
life. It's no wonder that kava kava is many people's
preferred end-of-the-day drink, as it can calm you down
and prepare you for a night of restful sleep. In fact,
as long ago as 1979, modern science proved that kava's
active ingredient, kavalactones, produce drowsiness in
people.
In addition to battling anxiety, kava kava also helps
fight depression. In some cultures kava kava is used to
help fussy children drift into a peaceful rest, and in
many kava-consuming regions, it is used to help
quarreling factions engage in peaceful discussions. Kava
kava is a magical plant that produces calm without
making you lose focus; best of all, it produces no side
effects. In a study performed in 1993, people who
consumed kava extract actually demonstrated increased
mental reaction times, all while functioning in a
peaceful, relaxed state of mind.
Here at Kona Kava Farm, we strive to produce the very
best kava possible. We utilize only the root of the
plant, and we only use kava root that has matured for
over four years. This practice yields a very potent kava
drink that is certain to help ease anxieties and put you
in a healthy, relaxed state of mind. Our family has been
using kava for generations, and we'd love to pass the
tradition on to your family! |
