What is Kava?
Kava is a special drink from the South Pacific made from kava plant roots. It’s been used for many years because it can help you feel calm and happy. It’s like taking a mini vacation without leaving home.
Funny story, Matt Warren, the co-founder of Psychedelic Water, first tried kava in Fiji. He didn’t know what to expect, but once he tasted it, he felt super relaxed. He said it was like all his worries just disappeared.
