Kava Extract Kava Extract is thousands of years old and is still popular today on many islands in the South Pacific. The ground pithy root of the Kava plant was (and still is) used in ceremonies to greet honored guests and for itsÕ ability to help you relax without loss of mental sharpness. The known active ingredient in Kava is a chemical called kavalactones, which acts as a muscle relaxant. Kava is a member of the pepper family and is a natural alternative to prescriptive anti-anxiety drugs. Best of all, this remarkable herb is free of side effects and addictive properties common to anti-anxiety drugs. In addition to being an anti-anxiety herb, Kava exhibits pain relieving and muscle relaxing properties. It has been used with success in many painful conditions such as urinary tract irritations, muscle aches and tension, and to ease the irritable coughing associated with bronchitis and asthma. The American Journal of Medicine states that when Kava is taken internally: Òthe subject attains a state of happy unconcern, free of physical and psychological excitementÓ. Now doesnÕt that sound like something many of us could use in our lives!
