Kava is native to the Pacific Islands, where it has been used for thousands of years as a ceremonial & social beverage. The effects include feelings of sedation, uphoria, reduced anxiety, muscle relaxation, reduced pain & drowsiness. It is generally accepted that Kava is non-addictive and non habit forming. Kava shows promise in the treatment of addiction and as a neuroprotective for degenerative disease.

Precautions |
In 2002, the US FDA issued a warning about the risk of liver damage associated with Kava use. Case reports have linked kava with liver toxicity, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and even death. Many of these cases were linked to pre-existing liver disease, excessive kava doses, and heavy alcohol use. It is still unclear whether the liver toxicity was the result of kavalactones, contaminants found in low-quality extracts, or the organic solvents (such as acetone or ethanol) used to make kava extracts and supplements.
