Kava and Depression

 

Kava Kava is often used as a treatment for depression. The extraordinary plant that has been used for thousands of years in the South Pacific islands and its gentle positive effect has led it to become a popular supplement and drink throughout the world. It provides an almost euphoric feeling to those that drink it and the active ingredients within the plant called kavalactones send positive signals to the brain inducing a feeling of calm and positivity. Because of this it is often taken by those suffering from stress related disorders, anxiety and depression.

It also lowers inhibitions and therefore helps people open up in social settings, much the same way that alcohol can but without the dangerous side effects such as drunkenness and aggression or a hangover felt the next day. It is no surprise that it is the premier “ice breaker” drink throughout the region of the South Pacific, present at all social gatherings and celebrations. Unlike alcohol or prescription drugs there are no side effects. There is no threat of addiction, there is no hangover or “come down”, just a plain and simple boost to the body is given.

It works as a natural and effective sleep aid, particularly for promoting peaceful sleep free from tossing and turning all night long. Depression or anxiety can often result in loss of sleep which in turn can lead to more depression or more anxiety. In the morning, there is no grogginess or fatigue brought about by a chemical sleeping pill. In fact, Kava Kava encourages mental alertness and clear thinking. As testament to the positive effects produced by Kava Kava, the Fijian military use it as an aid to vigilance and reduction in anxiety. It is also used within meetings to help improve thinking and the decision making process.

If you have not tried Kava Kava before and do feel that you would benefit, buy a small amount and give it a go. You will be impressed with your increased mental clarity, peaceful sleep, feeling of calm and general improvement to your feeling of well being. If you do suffer from depression, it could be just the thing you have been looking for.
