51: Kava that Tastes Great! Reduce Anxiety, Calm the Nervous System, Improve Sleep and More with Kava PLUS Updated Research on so-called Side Effects
Kava Kava the drink that some say stinks has gotten a makeover!
Today kava drinks taste good! I've tried a few so far and I'm really excited to tell you all about the things I've recently learned about this amazing herb.
Kava root has been used as medicine as well as a recreational and ceremonial drink for centuries and hails from Polynesia. Kava is being used more and more as an alternative to alcohol but some stories I've heard actually make it sound healing to the nervous system. That's exciting! Kava is:
- Mildly intoxicating
- Improves mood, eases anxiety and boosts sociability
- Stimulates dopamine receptors
- Influences GABA receptors
Tune in and find out more about my kava story so far... the journey continues!
