Kava-Kava
Natural Anti-Anxiety and Muscle Relaxant Support
Description - Kava Kava (Piper methysticum) is approved in
Europe as a treatment for nervous anxiety, depression, insomnia, and
restlessness. Clinical studies have found Kava Kava as effective as
benzodiazepine drugs but without the undesirable side effects (impaired
mental acuity and addiction).
Kava is also an antispasmodic and muscle relaxant. It has
anesthetic effects on the urinary tubules and bladder. With its analgesic
properties, Kava is a good remedy for chronic pain. Kava
is also effective for intestinal colic (pain) caused by IBS.
Suggested dose: 1 Capsule (40-75 mg kavalactones per cap) 1-3
times per day.
Dr. Myatt's Comment: I find that kava is much more effective when
taken as a tea, which is the way it is traditionally used. Open 4-6 capsules
in a cup of hot water. Sweeten to taste. NOTE: kava has a bitter taste that
must be "acquired." Sweetening may help. If you know how much anti-anxiety
or muscle tension relief it is going to give you, kava's taste seems
a small
price to pay.
Additional Note: You may have heard or read
about safety questions concerning kava. As it turns out, only the stem, leaf
and peeled root bark cause problems; the whole lateral root does not. This
kava product contains whole lateral root only. Read here for more
information about the "kava
kava mystery."
Each one (1) Vegetarian

Kava root extract 460 mg (standardized to 10 to 15% kavalactones per
