Frequently asked questions

Kava, also called kava-kava is a substance that comes from a root native to the South Pacific region. It’s been used by native islanders for centuries as part of their religious ceremonies.

In fact, there are estimates that show kava has been used for more than 3,000 years by Pacific Islanders, and in villages, it’s still used during gatherings and social events. Pacific Islanders may use kava occasionally, or they may do a complete kava ceremony if there is a special occasion. In a kava ceremony, everyone gathers and shares from a bowl that’s kept in the middle of the circle. A chosen person does the serving.

Taking kava has a relaxing, euphoric effect. Scientists call drugs that have this calming effect anxiolytic. Alcohol, which has similar effects to kava, is another anxiolytic drug. These properties are why many use it as a recreational drug and a medicine, as it can help reduce stress and anxiety.
