Kava Kava: A natural sedative and sleep enhancer • Effective as a pain reliever • Safe non-addictive anti-anxiety medicine • Works as a muscle relaxant • Helps relieve cramping due to spasms What is Kava Kava? Kava Kava is a herb native to islands in the South Pacific. Substances taken from the root have been used in some cultures to relieve stress, anxiety, tension, sleeplessness and problems of menopause. Kava Kava may increase the effect of alcohol and of certain drugs used to treat anxiety and depression. The scientific name is Piper methysticum. Also called intoxicating pepper, rauschpfeffer, tonga and yangona. Several rhizome components and lactones have been isolated in the kava root. Of the fifteen lactones isolated from kava, there are six major lactones (kavalactones) known to provide psychoactive activity: kawain, methysticin, demethoxy-yangonin, dihydrokawain, dihydomethysicin, and yongonin. All kavalactones are physiologically active, though it is the fat-soluble kavalactones derived from kava resin that have the greatest effect on the central nervous system. Kava also has a direct effect on muscle tension similar to tranquilisers. The activity of the kava rhizome is related to several arylethylene pyrones similar in structure to myristicin, which is found in nutmeg. What is Kava Kava used for? Kava Kava is primarily used as a natural sedative and sleep enhancer. Herbalists have traditionally used it as a remedy for nervousness and insomnia. Kava Kava is an effective relaxant able to induce a feeling of relaxation, peace and contentment, along with a sharpening of the senses. As a sleep aid it promotes deep and restful sleep. It is also a muscle relaxant that can help relieve cramping due to spasms. In Germany, Kava Kava is used as a nonprescription drug to reduce anxiety. Kava was first mentioned in scientific records in 1886, and it is gaining popularity for its relaxing effects. Kava also is effective as a pain reliever and can be used instead of aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. What scientific studies give evidence to support Kava Kava? Recent clinical studies have shown that the herb kava is a safe non-addictive anti-anxiety medicine, and as effective as prescription anxiety agents containing benzodiazepines such as valium. While benzodiazepines tend to promote lethargy and mental impairment, kava has been shown to improve concentration, memory, and reaction time for people suffering from anxiety. Kava has been clinically demonstrated as a means of achieving a state of relaxation without the adverse side effects.
