Kava Kava
root was originally used as a
religious drink by various
island tribes of
Oceania.
It's now used as a relaxant, both by
people who have
anxiety problems,
insomnia, and
people who simply want to calm down. It often produces a calming effect.
However, if used excessively for more than a
month,
yellow skin will result.
Also, if used enough, your body will go
numb. Kavateens, the main
chemical in Kava Kava is a numbing agent.
