Kava
There is a question that is frequently asked, what is the difference between kava and kava kava? The answer is they are the same and it depends on who you are speaking with and what part of the world you are in. Both terms describe the herbal plant that has a long history of usage in the Polynesian islands. Kava has been used successfully and safely for 3,000 years by the indigenous people of the south pacific for its relaxing and calming benefits.
The indigenous people only use the kava root and only drink it after processing the root into a thick liquid form using cold water. They never change their process and for that reason kava has been a very safe and beneficial herb that is revered in the south pacific.
In the United States kava has been used for decades for reducing stress and anxiety. As a matter of fact kava kava has been clinically tested with very successful results and confirmed as effective as the anti-anxiety benzodiazepines (pronounced ben-zo-die-aza-peans) for reducing stress and anxiety, but without the side effects of drugs.
