Kava – Instant

Instant Kava Powder

Kava, also known as Piper Methysticum, is a plant native to the South Pacific islands. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine practices by indigenous cultures in the South Pacific for its calming and relaxing effects. In recent years, kava has gained popularity in the Western world for its potential medicinal properties, leading to increased research into its potential health benefits.

Instant Kava is just like instant coffee. Instant kava is a highly concentrated water extract of fresh kava root that condenses the alkaloids and flavonoids. The extract is then dehydrated. Since it is not ground, it does not contain the fibrous root material and therefore does not need to be strained. Unlike regular Kava where you must knead and strain it, which can take up to 10 minutes to prepare, instant kava can be prepared in less than one minute. You can mix this form of kava into hot water, milk, smoothies, tea, and even coffee! Instant kava is twice as potent as traditional kava powder.

The plant contains several active compounds, including kavalactones, which are thought to be responsible for its potential medicinal properties. However, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of kava.

Kava is a shrub that can grow up to six meters in height. It has large, heart-shaped leaves and small, green or yellow flowers. The plant is typically grown in humid, tropical climates and thrives in soil that is rich in nutrients. The root is the part of the plant that is used.

Kava has a long history of use in traditional medicine practices in the South Pacific islands, particularly in Polynesia and Melanesia. Kava was also used in traditional ceremonies and social gatherings. It was consumed in the form of a drink made from the ground kava root, which was mixed with water and served in a coconut shell or other vessel. Kava drinking ceremonies were often accompanied by chanting, music, and dancing.

Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. Long-term use of kava may also cause liver damage, so individuals with liver problems should avoid using kava. Kava may also interact with medications, such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and sedatives.
