Kava, also called “kava-kava,” is an herbal substance from the root of Piper methysticum – a plant native to the western Pacific Islands. The name kava comes from the Polynesian word “awa” and means “intoxicating pepper.”
Native islanders have used the substance for centuries as a medicinal treatment and a part of religious ceremonies due to its sedative, euphoriant, and psychotropic properties. Typically consumed as either a beverage or extract, kava is considered to be non-alcoholic but psychoactive. As people have become increasingly interested in natural and herbal remedies to treat various diseases and ailments in today’s society, kava has become more popular and well-known.
