Homeopathically, kava is used to treat such conditions as states of excitation and exhaustion. All across the South Pacific, kava is used as a calmative. It has been shown to not only calm, but also to help you better cope with the stresses and pressures of the world around you.
Kava produces an effect on the body like no other botanical. Unlike other herbs, or even prescription medications, kava calms as well as focuses, and it is used by everyone from athletes to businessmen to dignitaries and diplomats – for anyone wanting to have a peaceful beginning or ending to their day.
For sufferers of back pain, Kava has been proven to be an effective pain reliever. This is in part due to the muscle relaxing properties of this splendid plant, which seems to focus its natural pain relief on the back area of the body. It has been shown to ease the pain of arthritis, as well as back pain.
Traditional ritual use of the plant includes the legendary kava ceremony. Kava ceremonies date back thousands of years and are still practiced today in Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu.

They can function as a greeting custom for guests, as a component of tribal negotiations, and as part of the soothing social drinking get-togethers that take place in the evenings.

How long does kava take to kick-in?
You’ll generally start to feel it kick in 5-15 minutes after drinking a shell of kava root tea. The first sensation you’ll feel is a numbing of the lips, tongue and mouth. You can then expect to start feeling the mental and physical relaxation soon after that. It is recommended that you drink kava on an empty stomach to ensure you feel its effects. If you drink kava on a full stomach, the effects may not kick-in.
There are other reasons the effects of kava may not kick-in when you first start to drink it. Kava works with your body to produce its effects and sometimes that means your body will take time to adjust to receiving the active ingredients in the kava before it responds. In this instance, you may not feel the effects of kava until you’ve been drinking kava for a few days or even weeks consecutively. This is known as Reverse Tolerance.
