Kava kava is fairly new to the Western world but it has been used in Polynesia, Micronesia, and Hawaii as a recreational drink for hundreds of years. This wonderful beverage has awesome calming effects on the mind and body, some even compare it to Valium but it doesn't impair your judgement or inhibit clarity! Drinking kava kava can help with:
Social Anxiety
Generalized anxiety
Test taking
Public speaking
Insomnia
Pain
Muscle cramps
Preparation:
The root of kava kava should be used and ground up into a powder. Add 1tsp of powder to a mesh strainer and gently massage the mesh strainer for 2 minutes in 1 cup cold water (this is to get out all the kavalactones). Feel free to add milk, chai, or anything else to give it added taste. Drink up!
