What is Kava Kava?
Learning About Kava Kava
Kava kava is a plant from the South Pacific islands. People there have been using it for a long time in ceremonies and social events because it helps you relax and feel calm. The root of the kava plant is dried and ground into a powder that you can use in different ways.
There are different types of kava kava. Noble kava is considered the best because it has a good balance of its active ingredients, while tudei kava is stronger and lasts longer but can cause discomfort if you take too much.
How Does Kava Kava Help with Pain?
The Science Behind Kava Kava
Kava kava helps with pain because of special compounds called kavalactones found in its root. These kavalactones work with your central nervous system to make you feel more relaxed, similar to some medications used for muscle relaxation and stopping seizures.
Kavalactones affect your brain’s neurotransmitters, especially one called GABA that helps calm the nervous system. By boosting GABA activity, kavalactones can make pain feel less intense and help you relax. Kava kava is unique because it can help both your body and mind feel better.
