Discover the World of Kava
Kava is a leafy plant native to the Pacific Islands, with a rich history dating back thousands of years. Traditionally, the people of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia used kava in ceremonies, for medicinal purposes, and as a social beverage to promote relaxation and connection.
What Makes Kava Special?
The active compounds in kava, known as kavalactones, are responsible for its unique effects. Of the 18 identified kavalactones, six are considered the most active. In addition, kava contains flavokavains, a class of chalconoids that contribute to its overall effects. Three types—Flavokavain A, B, and C—each have distinct properties that enhance the kava experience.
How Is Kava Enjoyed?
Traditionally, kava is prepared as a tea by grinding the roots, which contain the highest concentration of kavalactones, into a powder. The powder is then mixed with water and strained to create a beverage. Nowadays, there are many ways to enjoy kava, including extracts, tinctures, shots, and capsules.

Start low and slow—that’s the golden rule. Everyone’s different, so begin with a smaller amount to see how it feels. Check the packaging for guidance, and remember, it’s all about finding that sweet spot for you. They say kava has a reverse tolerance, so it may take more to feel it the first time, so we will recommend stronger kava for the first time. Over time your body will become more receptive to kava.
Kava’s got this earthy, kind of peppery taste that’s really unique. Some folks love it as is, while others like to mix it with coconut milk or juice. There’s no wrong way—just do what tastes right to you!
You should not at all. People who drink alcohol and kava at the same time very often will become sick. They do not work together at all. We would say do not mix kava with medications either – especially with those that effect the GABA receptors. Always check with your physician before going and adding new things to your wellness routine.
Kava’s pretty gentle when used in moderation. It’s always smart to listen to your body and, if you’ve got any health concerns, chat with a healthcare pro just to keep everything cool.
