The tingly tincture of Kava will relax you while the sweet sensation of honey and spice will warm you. Kava is the common name for Piper methysticum — a member of the Piperaceae (pepper) family, making it a close relative of black pepper (Piper nigrum). Fijian Kava root brings a level of relaxation that is unparalleled, boasting a 15% kavalactone level, the active compound that has been known to ease anxiety, work as a sleeping aid, combat depression, and even help with menopausal symptoms. For hundreds of years it has been used as a traditional medicine in the Pacific Islands.
