Kava Kava Extract Organic Reviews

Kava kava is a traditional herb of the Pacific Islands that has a fascinating and somewhat mysterious history tracing back over 3,000 years. Many fables exist regarding the origin of kava kava, most of which revolve around the concept of it being the first plant growing on the grave of a sacrificed person. Therefore, one is symbolically thought to be turned into a sacrificial victim by drinking the traditional kava drink. This herb has been and continues to be a ceremonial beverage created by pulverizing the root and infusing with water. This ceremonial intake was first encountered by Europeans in the 18 th century during the voyage of Captain Cook. Kava kava is still commonly enjoyed today in the Pacific Islands in social gatherings and recreationally. Piper methysticum contains a multitude of phytochemicals that help facilitate the healthful actions of this powerful herb, including kavalactones. Kava kava root is revered for its mellow qualities and promotes natural relaxation and helps in coping with stress*. Kava kava root tincture is pungent in flavor and produces an initially numbing sensation on the tongue, which then fades. It can be combined with other botanical extracts such as passionflower extract to enhance the healthful benefits. Kava can be taken on the tongue but is more palatable in juice or water and better yet in some tea. Try a bit of kava kava tincture in your next cup of coconut or vanilla rooibos tea.
