What’s Kava?
If you haven’t heard of kava, let’s learn a bit about it. Kava is a plant from the South Pacific. People have used it for a long time to help them relax and feel happy. The root of the kava plant is turned into powder, which you can mix into drinks. It’s great for chilling out and staying calm. Kava is now popular again because it helps reduce stress naturally.
