Kava Kava Root (Piper methysticum) is a mild to moderate sedative that elicits feeling of euphoria. Kava contains compounds known as kavalactones, that decrease excitatory neurotra nsmitters, and increase the ability of the amino acid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to bind to receptors. GABA calms the nervous system by preventing the transmission certain signals. Kava therefore produces a calming and relaxing state, making it ideal for the treatment of stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Kava also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help address inflammatory issues such as joint and muscle pain. Show more
