What is Kava?

Kava is a drink made from the root of a plant called Piper methysticum. People in Pacific Island cultures have been drinking kava for a long time during special ceremonies and gatherings. Kava helps people feel calm, relaxed, and more social without making them feel drunk like alcohol does.
