Kava Kava

Description

Kava kava (Piper methisticum) has been used for centuries by indigenous Pacific Islanders to promote relaxation and a sense of inner peace. 

Kavalactones are a primary group of active ingredients found in the roots and they have been shown to protect neurons from cell damage and reduce pain and anxiety.  

Kava can be taken as needed with no unwanted side-effects or dependency issues.  If pain, anxiety, or insomnia is severe, titrate up to a higher dosage until the desired effects are obtained.

Ingredients:

Piper methisticum root **, distilled water, and certified organic cane alcohol.

**Grown using organic practices

Recommended Dose: 

1-3 ml / 2x / day in 2 oz water.

Synergistic Combinations Include:
– For insomnia, anxiety, and stress-related health issues, combine with Kava Brahmi Inner Calm, available as a tincture or wellness tea.
