Feeling wired but tired? In this bite-sized episode, we explore Kava (Piper methysticum) – a traditional Pacific Island root now being recognised for its calming, anxiolytic, and muscle-relaxing properties.
What we cover:
• How Kava supports the nervous system without sedating cognition
• Key active compounds (kavalactones) and their mechanisms of action
• Why Kava may be a safe alternative for stress and anxiety
• The difference between noble vs non-noble Kava varieties
• Tips for safe clinical use, sourcing, and dosing considerations
Used traditionally in ceremony and now increasingly in integrative clinics, Kava helps restore calm, regulate GABA activity, and support clients navigating overwhelm, insomnia, and mental chatter.
Rooted in tradition, validated by science – discover how Kava could be a valuable ally in your toolkit for stress resilience and parasympathetic support.
