Kava Kava Herbal Powder

Sustainably Cultivated Vanuatuan Grown Kava Kava Root (Piper methysticum)

Use half a teaspoon of our sustainably cultivated Kava Kava powder in your beverage of choice, such as water or tea.

To prepare Kava Kava using the traditional South Pacific method, place medium grind Kava Kava Root powder in a straining bag, then steep it in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. After steeping, knead and squeeze the strainer bag to strain the liquid out of the bag into the bowl. When you’re finished kneading and squeezing, chill your kava in the refrigerator or add some ice before drinking.

When taking Kava Kava, feelings of numbness and tingling in the mouth and body are completely normal as the plant contains a compound known as Kavalactones, which is known to have numbing and sedative effects. This compound is what makes Kava so effective in calming the nervous system, fighting stress and relaxing the mind and body!
