Health Benefits of Kava
How can this bitter drink benefit me?
The primary use of kava is known to be for reducing stress and anxiety. Research suggests that kava could help treat the symptoms of anxiety disorders. Kava has been marketed for several decades in the form of dietary supplements in the U.S. to relieve stress, improve sleep and memory, and regulate mood.
Kava has also been used for the treatment of urinary tract infections and immune-related disorders, such as asthma. This leads to other benefits that can include using Kava as an anti-inflammatory.
Not All Kava Is The Same
It is important to note that not all Kava is treated equally. There are many factors, that can range from the cultivars, the parts of the plant being used, its preparation methods, and solvents employed for extraction. These can affect the composition of the kava products and alter their potential health benefits per individual.
