Kava kava is a traditional herb native to the Pacific Islands where it has been used as both a social and ceremonial drink, and for its healthful properties. Pacific Islanders have for centuries used Kava to calm nerves and help with relaxation. It can be highly sedative and has been known to numb certain parts of the body. Today, herbalists enjoy the plant as an ally to support natural relaxation and helping to cope with stress. It is typically prepared as a decoction, as evidenced by the popularity of Kava Kava bars, but can also be used in tincturing. Kava Kava is also known as awa, kava pepper, and yangona.
