Traditional uses:
Kava has a long history some 3000 years of being used in the pacific islands for medicinal, ceremonial and social purposes. Many individuals attribute the frequent consumption of kava is partially responsible for why the natives of the Pacific islands are referred to as the happiest and friendliest in the world. Aside from being used as a natural sedative, Kava, was also used throughout the pacific islands to treat headaches, indigestion, boils, cramps, etc.
Physiology:
Kava lactones are the most important constituents of the kava extract. These lactones are responsible for the overall feeling of "well being" while improving concentration and reaction time. Kava is an excellent sedative and may one day replace benzodiazepines in the pharmacological treatment of anxiety. Kava is able to produce anxiety-relieving effects comparable to benzodiazepines, but is free from the common and expected side effects of these highly addictive drugs. Kava is particularly effective if an individual's depression is associated with a great deal of anxiety.
Clinical Studies:
Studies have shown that Kava is responsible for significantly reducing the symptoms associated with menopasuse. Kava has also been shown to have mild analgesic, muscle relaxing, anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant
Modern day uses:
Today Kava is prescribed by physicians and herbal specialists for the following:
Anxiety
Symptoms of rheumatism
Disorders associated with the menstrual cycle
Urinary antiseptic
Depression
Natural diuretic
Acute vaginitis or urethritis
Precautions and/or adverse effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult with their physician particularly if they are taking prescription or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with there physician prior to taking any new supplements.
Although rare, allergic reactions to Kava may occur. Individuals should stop taking Kava and seek emergency medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction including hives, closing of your throat, difficult breathing, swelling of your lips, tongue, or face. Kava may increase drowsiness when ingested with substances that cause drowsiness i.e. antidepressants, sedatives, seizure medicines, muscle relaxants, pain relievers, anxiety medicines etc.
