{"title":"Kava","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalm in a cup — kava has been the South Pacific's social and ceremonial drink for centuries, and today it's one of the most popular natural botanicals for unwinding without alcohol. Explore our full selection of kava root powder, instant mixes, extracts, capsules, and ready-to-drink kava below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Kava?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKava (\u003cem\u003ePiper methysticum\u003c\/em\u003e) is a plant native to the islands of the South Pacific — Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, Hawaii, and beyond. For more than 3,000 years, Pacific Islander cultures have prepared the root of the kava plant into a traditional beverage used in ceremonies, community gatherings, and to welcome guests. The name is often translated as \"intoxicating pepper,\" a nod to kava's place in the pepper family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active compounds in kava are called kavalactones. These naturally occurring compounds are concentrated in the root and are responsible for the plant's signature soothing qualities. Different kava varieties — known as cultivars or \"chemotypes\" — contain different kavalactone profiles, which is why some kavas feel more uplifting and social while others feel more grounding and sedating (\"heady\" vs. \"heavy\" in kava terminology).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SPLIT --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKava Effects: What to Expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKava is best known for promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Many people reach for kava to take the edge off a stressful day, to ease social tension, or as a relaxing alternative to alcohol — one that doesn't cloud mental clarity the way a drink might. Traditional kava drinkers often describe a pleasantly relaxed body, an easy mood, and sociable, clear-headed calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon reasons people enjoy kava include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWinding down in the evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelaxing in social settings — \"kava bars\" have become popular across the U.S. for exactly this reason\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA booze-free way to take the edge off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupporting a calm, balanced mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne distinctive note: fresh kava can cause a brief, mild numbing or tingling sensation on the tongue and lips.
