Kava Kava Extract: An Underrated Natural Anti-Anxiety Herbal Supplement

Kava kava is the root of the piper methysticum plant that many people use to help with anxiety and insomnia. It has a natural sedative property that has been known for thousands of years by various Polynesian groups. Despite this, it's relatively unpopular outside of niche circles.

The active compounds in kava kava are called kavalactones. They're known to:

-Reduce Anxiety
Protect neurons from damage
-Reduce Pain
-Reduce Cancer Risk in Mice
-Maybe Help with Insomnia

Side Effects:

A lot of the controversy around kava kava and why it isn’t really seen in many countries is that it is shown to have an impact on the liver.

It is thought that if one is using powder or tinctures from the root of the plant it doesn’t do damage to the liver and kidneys, but if the tincture or powder contains stems and leaves it can harm the liver.

Also, chronic use of kava kava has been shown to cause damage, especially if large amounts are taken.
