What is Kava?
Kava’s Magic
Kava is a root that comes from the South Pacific. People have used it in special events and social gatherings for a very long time. Kava makes you feel calm and relaxed without making you sleepy. It’s becoming popular as a new ingredient in drinks because it helps you chill out. This magic happens because of something called kavalactones in the kava root.
