Kava Kava Root, 1oz.

Kava Kava is a natural herbal beverage made from the root of the tropical shrub, Piper methysticum (kava). For 3,000 years Pacific Islanders have used kava to help them relieve tension and enjoy life more fully. Kava relaxes the body while clearing the mind, creating a state of natural well-being.

The tranquility that comes with drinking kava is said to evoke an atmosphere of easy sociability. It's no wonder that kava has been used by Pacific Islanders to foster communication and even as a means of conflict resolution. Kava, also often called kava kava, is a member of the nightshade family of plants and native to the South Pacific islands.

Pacific Islanders have used it for hundreds of years as a ceremonial drink to promote a state of relaxation. More recently, kava has received widespread attention for its relaxing and stress-reducing properties.
