History and Usage:

Kava Kava is made from the rhizome of the Piper methysticum plant, which is native to the South Pacific. Polynesian islanders used it as a ceremonial drink to welcome visiting potentates. They believed drinking kava kava promoted feelings of contentment and well-being. Kava kava is recommended for the reduction of normal anxiety without intoxication or impaired mental function. Kava Kava contains the substance Desmethoxyyangonin, which increases dopamine levels in the brain, creating a sense of tranquility. It is thought to foster more restful sleep in those who struggle with occasional restlessness. Evidence suggests it may also be a safe way to relax the muscles. Each capsule contains 200 mg kava kava root concentrate.
