Origin: USA

About: This is a very special herb and member of the pepper family that is native to the Pacific Islands, including Hawaii. Traditionally fresh Kava was prepared as a drink that was shared in ceremony. Kava has an overall soothing, calming effect on the body, mind and spirit. When mild anxiety or tension rises, Kava supports with a gentle uplifting presence. Popular herb for relaxing. Kava can be taken as a low dose extract, that is- one need only a few drops to feel the relaxing qualities of this unique shrub. Deep gratitude to the farmers who tend their Kava plants with profound care and appreciation~ truly a labor of love! 

Recommended Dosage: Begin with low dose of 3-5 drops in water 2-3 times per day. You can increase to 10-15 drops 2-3 times per day. Kava extract has an earthy, somewhat bitter taste. I find simply using 1-3 drops of the extract in 3 ounce of water is a perfect dose for me.
