It was only recently while looking for safe ways to deal with the stress of the Covid-19 pandemic that I stumbled on Kava. And since then, I have recommended it to my close associates who are dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. The beverage does have a chill twist to it and maybe a good option for you if you need a chill pill that you can drink. 

While there are not too many people aware of the prowess of this newfound Polynesian wellness product, it could be the next big thing in the wellness industry. But before you go and give it a try I will share with you a personal story that got me intertwined with this new beverage. 

How it Works

The first time I had it was at a bar in San Diego and I had visited the place to relax with a friend from out of town who was visiting to take some time off work. When he arrived, I was about to order drinks and he declined and brought out a small bottle of tonic from his side bag with the inscription Ü Relax on it. “Okay, this should be good.” I thought to myself and declined to gesture at the attendant to come to serve us. 

“We won’t be needing drinks as we have to take it on an empty stomach at least for up to an hour.” This somehow got me excited as I couldn’t wait to see the magic of this new mix my trusted pal was cooking up. He passed me the bottle and ordered that I empty the content in my mouth. The bottle was small just a little over 100ml and I didn’t waste time to comply. It wasn’t up to 20 minutes before I found bliss and was carefree as we chatted and laughed as we walked down the street into the park and public places to enjoy the subtle high. 

At the end of the day, I inquired about how I could get the drink and was shocked to find that the brand we shared was prepared by experts in my backyard. So there you have it. My first experience with Kava. The next time I tried it, I was keen to see how long kava usually lasts, and boy did it take hours for me to get out of blissfulness. 

How it Can be Beneficial

According to my research which was in-depth and had me looking into numerous medical journals, there is still a lot to discover about how Kava can be of health benefit. But the fact is that there are some ways it could assist people who need help with coping with stress and anxiety. And from my personal experience, it does have a calming effect when taken on an empty stomach. 

Some sources also say it can help people with sleep problems and I’m inclined to agree as it could bring about sleepy eyes if you take them at night. Although there are many other talks about some of the benefits. But they have not been medically certified so I won’t be sharing them here. What I can guarantee is that you do get a drink that is capable of calming tensed nerves and helping you relax better at home. You can find out more on this page about Kava. 

What to Note About Safety?

In the area of safety, it is advised that you don’t operate any machinery when you take Kava. So you want to refrain from driving or doing any strenuous tasks if you want to enjoy the drink. If you are trying to relax, you surely don’t need anything that requires much concentration. It is that simple. 

Health Risks to be Aware Of

On most of the brands and medical journals I checked, there was a strong warning for people with liver problems to avoid taking the beverage so as not to aggravate their condition. Nursing mothers and pregnant women are also advised not to take it as it could harm infants. People younger than 18 should not take it as it is entirely meant for adults. So you want to keep this out of the reach of kids.

Final Note 

The recommended dosage is not more than 2 cups daily and you can consume it for six months daily without any worries. Now that you know about the new beverage that many people rely on for stress relief, you want to go grab a bottle of Kava and come to your conclusion on whether it is worth all the fuss.
