Let’s drink to kava kava, my friends! Long known as the drink of choice in the South Pacific islands, kava kava is a drink that leaves a relaxed and refreshed feeling without impairing your concentration. Imagine drinking it after a hard day?s work and not having to worry about any hangover whatsoever! This drink is filled with what are called kavalectones. These have a positive effect on GABA, dopamine and norepinephrine, which are three important neurotransmitters found in the body. It’s not really clear how the kavalectones work, but that these are able to give the drinker a feeling of contentment and relaxation.

Kava kava has a number of benefits. It helps you deal with insomnia by giving you better-quality sleep: this means that you are able to sleep more quickly and with less fuss, and that your sleep would be the satisfyingly deep ones.

Kava kava can also calm you down the same way that diazepam does. You will suffer from less panic attacks, as well as fewer palpitations. As a result, you feel better and there are hardly any of the ?blues? to struggle with.

When you also drink kava kava, it curbs your appetite and flushes out the liquids in your body, thus you are slimmer and your body has more definition. And since kava kava is a relaxant, it decreases the pain that results from muscle spasms. In fact, it is so effective as a pain reliever that it works better than aspirin. That goes for pain from fibromyalgia, a sore neck, backaches and cramps.

You may also use kava kava to increase libido and to answer erectile problems. You can also ask your doctor how it can be used to treat urinary tract infections as well as difficulties caused by menstruation.

Please be reminded, though, that kava kava is to be taken in moderation. It is also known to have side effects, especially with improper use. Side effects include blood clotting problems, hypertension and the inability to control your muscles.
