Kava, a traditional herb from the South Pacific, has garnered attention for its various health benefits. Here are ten essential facts to help you understand what is Kava and why it’s worth considering.

Traveling to the South Pacific Islands?  Then you may encounter the happiest people on earth!   Why are they so happy?  The sun, the sand, the ocean, and the ever present calming effects of the Kava Kava root.  

Kava Kava plants which are originally native to the South-Pacific Islands contain six properties that are proven to help calm the nerves and relieve stress known as Kavalactones.  These six properties are: Methysticin, Dihydromethysticin, Kavain, Dihydrokavain, Yangonin and Desmethoxyyangonin

The natives of Vanuatu have been cultivating and extracting Kavalactones from Kava Kava roots for more than 3,000 years!  The origin of Kava Kava has raised a lot of arguments and speculations in the past but a lot of people believe that Kava Kava originates from the South Pacific, in a place called The Islands of Vanuatu.

Kava Kava was deeply rooted in the traditions of the Ni-Vanuatu (that’s what the natives of Vanuatu are called). Some Kava Kava uses for the Vanuatu Islanders at the time include using it to invoke a peaceful spirit, using it to settle disputes  by making the warring parties drink Kava Kava extract before taking the ‘stands’ to narrate their own sides of the story and also using it to provoke peace between married couples.

It was believed that wherever Kava Kava was present, there could be no hate or feud.

It was from the Islands of Vanuatu that Kava Kava spread to the Fiji Islands and Hawaii and then to other parts of the United States where it has now become very popular, with many bars and lounges springing up.  It’s so popular that Kavalactone extract has been used in many new forms such as soap scrubs.
