There have been numerous studies over the years to test whether Kava Kava does in fact reduce anxiety. Australian researchers at the University of Queensland took a group of people with chronic anxiety problems and gave half of them a kava preparation and the other half a placebo. After one week, those who were taking Kava were given the placebo and those who were taking the placebo were given Kava. The patients reported a decreased feeling of anxiety (and depression too) when they were taking the Kava.
Medical literature about Kava as a useful way to combat anxiety is littered with positive information and studies such as the one outlined above. The active compounds are called kavalactones and although they do work to calm people and relieve stress and anxiety, they do not work as a sedative like some chemical, over the counter anxiety relievers can.
Scientists believe that the plant (the root of the plant) acts like a sort of neurotransmitter sending chemicals that make us feel good to the brain. As long as the root is in the system, the positive and calming effects will be felt.
If you are one of the many people that suffers from anxiety, whether it is a daily condition or simply occurs before particularly stressful events in your life, give Kava Kava a try. It is totally natural and non-addictive. Traditional anti-stress drugs often produce side effects and can even leave a type of hangover or ‘come down’ as the drugs work their way out of the system. This is not the case with Kava.
Kava Kava can be taken in powder form mixed with water, as a delicious ready made drink or even in chocolate! It can mixed with water, milk or fruit. Instead of reaching for a chemical mix of ingredients that produce side effects, reach for a delicious tasting Kava preparation. The effects are the same, but there is no hangover, sedation, grogginess or any other negative consequences.
