Kava Kava And Anxiety
Kava Kava has been noted to reduce or eliminate anxiety and bring an over all sense of calm to those who encorporate Kava Tea into their diets.
Panic attacks and mild anxiety are affected by a combination of the kavalactones that are in the root of the Kava Plant.
Independant studies have shown the results of Kava to out perform sucha pharmacuticals as tranquilizers and anxiety-reducing agents. Most of the research on this topic has been performed in Europe, leaving North Americans some what in the dark on the positive effects of Kava Kava.
The real plus is Kava Kava is not addictive as are most prescription drugs used to treat anxiety.
Kava Kava And Insomnia
As noted above, Kava Kava brings on over all sense of calmness to those who drink it, combining this state of calmness with the muscle relaxant affects of the herb and there you have it, the ability to obtain a good nights sleep without sleeping pills or a night cap.
Some people report vivid life like dreams when sleeping under the Kava Kava spell, others don't see any difference in their dreams at all. Everyone's experiences seem to vary somewhat on the dream state.

Kava is noted to elimate and treat such pains as headaches, tooth aches and over all body aches.
When drinking Kava, some people experience numbness of the tongue and throut and again a combination of certain kavalactones in the plant are pain killers.
Head ache reduction is a combination of the pain reducing and muscle relaxant effects of the tea. The combinations of the tea are amazing.
Natives to the area where the plant is grown have chewed on the root to relieve tooth pain.
