NATURE'S SAFE HERBAL ANSWER TO STRESS, ANXIETY,
SLEEP DISORDERS, MUSCULAR TENSION, OBESITY, HEADACHES, MIGRAINE
Ð FROM THE PARADISE ISLANDS OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC.
In the cultures of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia,
the Kava plant (Piper Methysticum) has been prized for thousands
of years as a mystical source of harmony and well-being.
Traditionally the Kava root is ground as a powder and infused
in cold water. The unfermented brownish-coloured beverage
is then served in a ceremonial bowl or coconut half shell
and features as an essential element in all important religious
and social celebrations - an ancient pledge of friendship
and tranquillity. During the mid 1700's, the famous explorer,
Captain Cook, visited the islands and described this unique
beverage as wondrously soothing and identified the source
as the root of the Kava plant.
ANTI-STRESS
RELAXANT
For the millions of sufferers of stress in our rushed, high-pressure
world, Kava Kava could well be nature's soothing answer
to harassed minds and bodies. Today, available in convenient
tablet form, Kava Kava helps to promote gentle relaxation
without loss of mental sharpness. According to scientific
research and clinical studies, it appears to reduce stress
and anxiety while evoking feelings of contentment and ease.
When used in moderate amounts, Kava Kava not only seems
to calm the mind and soothe the nerves, it also reduces
edginess and irritability. As the mind eases and tense muscles
relax, an increased sense of serenity and concord may be
enjoyed.
STRESS,
THE KILLER
Experts estimate that something like 60% of visits to the
doctor are caused by stress-related problems that include
heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis and cancer.
Modern research confirms that Kava Kava, nowadays commonly
prescribed in Europe for anxiety disorders, may offer a
safe herbal alternative as effective as major pharmaceutical
drugs when used for mild cases of anxiety and insomnia.
The effects of anxiety can include weakened immunity, nervousness,
indigestion, difficulty in concentrating, sleep disorders,
fatigue and general debility. Kava Kava, along with other
anti-stress agents such as a sound diet, regular exercise
and relaxation can do much to defuse stress.
RESTFUL
SLEEP
In the islands of the South Pacific, Kava Kava is traditionally
served at dusk, prior to the evening meal. After partaking
of Kava Kava, most people tend to eat lightly as the herb
has the effect of decreasing the appetite. Good news indeed
for overeaters with weight problems. In the islands, Kava
Kava is usually enjoyed with family and friends, however
there is no shortage of local Kava Kava bars in these areas.
To promote restful sleep Kava Kava is normally taken 30
minutes before going to bed. Lack of sleep is extremely
exhausting to the mind and the body.
KAVALACTONES
Research shows that the main active constituents of Kava
Kava root are a group of compounds called Kavalactones.
Specific names for these Kavalactones include Kawain, Methysticin
and Yangonin. Kava Kava works on the central nervous system
to encourage relaxation and may be particularly helpful
to those experiencing stress-related discomforts. Kava Kava
appears to assist in stimulating the brain's own tranquilliser
systems without side effects.
Anecdotal studies of Kava Kava embrace centuries of benevolent
use as a unique stress-breaker and relaxant. We read that
even the heart-shaped leaves are brewed to make a soothing
tea for teething infants. It is also widely used to buffer
the discomforts associated with toothache, sore throats,
tension headaches, migraine and it can help you to lose
weight naturally, simply by eating less. In addition, Kava
Kava may offer assistance in helping to overcome addiction
problems such as giving up smoking or chemical substances.
Kava Kava should not be used by pregnant or nursing mothers.
It should only be used in small quantites for short periods.
Excessive use may impair the ability to drive or operate
heavy equipment. It should not be used simultaneously with
alcohol or anti-anxiety drugs. May cause loss of balance
and appetite, tummy upsets and occasionally slight temporary
visual enhancement.
