The euphoric yet grounding effect of the kava sets the tone, creating a platform for deep heart connection.

More on Kava
Kava in an extremely versatile plant that can be used in a variety of different ways and situations. Whether taking medicinally to focus, relax, ease pain, or ceremonially to create a deep connection to self and those partaking, or to find ease and balance in social situations.

Kava creates a mild euphoric effect as it increases GABA in the brain to soothe symptoms of stress and anxiety just like prescription anti-anxiety meds but without the undesired side effects. Kava has no "come down" or withdrawal and no lethargy. It provides just clear and grounded awareness!

Kava is also a nootropic, boosting brain function, clarity, creativity and memory. As an extremely effective adaptogen it increases the body's ability to resist damaging effects of stress and restore normal physiological function. On top of these beautiful aspects, kava reduces inflammation not only in the body to assist with pain, but in the brain which can be the source of PTSD, depression, addiction, anxiety, and even some cancers. Kavalactones bind to the CB1 receptors, stimulating the endo cannabinoid system, maintaining physiological, emotional, and cognitive stability.
