Tincture of Kava Kava Root (Piper methysticum)
Description
Kava Kava Root - fresh harvested and shipped overnight from our Hawaiian organic farm supplier.
Piper methysticum contains a multitude of phytochemicals that help facilitate the healthful actions of this powerful herb, including kavalactones. Kava kava root is revered for its mellow qualities and promotes natural relaxation and helps in coping with stress*.
Kava kava is a traditional herb of the Pacific Islands that has a fascinating and somewhat mysterious history tracing back over 3,000 years. It was often brewed with spices such as, cinnamon and ginger, in coconut milk and taken ceremonially in groups.
Kava kava root tincture is quite pungent in flavor and produces an initially numbing sensation on the tongue, which then fades. It can be combined with other botanical extracts such as passionflower extract to enhance the healthful benefits. Kava can be taken on the tongue but is more palatable and effective way is warm coconut milk or something with fat as this helps assimilate and potentiate some of the compounds.
Ingredients
Organic alcohol, water, and fresh organic kava kava root.
