Kava root extract is gaining a lot of limelight these days and for good reason. Many people have chosen to source herbs and botanicals that can naturally provide the support they seek. Kava may or may not be the right herb for you. Our blog will help you understand kava and what it has to offer. 

What Is Kava Kava Root Extract?

Kava is offered as a beverage or an extract. It comes from the Piper Metysticum plant and originated from the South Pacific Islands. Many cultures utilize kava root including Hawaii (awa), Samoa (ava), Fiji (yaqona or yagona), Pohnpei (Sakau), Kosrae (seka), and parts of Vanuatu (malok or malogu).

The word “kava” is Polynesian and translates to “bitter”. Kava is filled with kavalactones, which are responsible for the support that it offers. According to WebMD, kava works with the brain and other parts of the central nervous system.

Does Kava Root Get You High?

This is not a question that we can answer. You will need to consult with your family physician before purchasing kava root extract or any herbs for that matter. Your doctor will be able to discuss in detail what this herb can offer you. 

According to the Addiction Center, kava can produce a euphoric high. This type of high is often used in many cultures for meditation. Again, this is anecdotal reporting, and there are no scientific facts behind it. 

Different Forms Of Kava Root

Most people opt for kava root extract powder as it is the most economically priced. We offer the extract powder here on our website. You can use this powder to create kava tea or make your own capsules. 

Other forms of kava include teas, oils, capsules, tablets, tinctures, and extracts. It all comes down to your personal preference. However, only purchase kava from a reputable vendor.

Traditionally, the root of the kava plant was chewed or made into a thick paste that could be thinned down with water or coconut milk. 

Can you Buy A Kava Plant?

With a quick Google search, I found several places offering kava plants. However, you should be aware that these plants require topical climate to thrive. There is a lot of research material explaining how to successfully grow a kava plant. 

On our search, it looks like the best place to snag a kava plant is Etsy. They have several different sellers offering these plants. Just be sure that you read reviews because you want to make sure that you are getting a true kava plant. 

What Is A Kava Bar?

Kava bars are becoming more popular in large cities. It is an alternative to alcohol that many people are welcoming. Kava bars will have various offerings. Most will be kava-infused drinks but you may also find some kratom drinks on the menu. Kava bars are relatively new so do not be surprised if you are unable to find one in your area. As these types of bars become more popular, you will see them popping up in cities near you. 

Kava and Kratom

Because kratom has so many legal issues surrounding it, many people have turned to kava as a kratom alternative. Kratom is filled with alkaloids while kava has kavalactones. The two herbs are very different. So, be sure you understand both before making your decision.

Kratom comes from the Mitragyna speciosa tree while kava comes from the Piper Metysticum plant. Both do require topical climate to thrive.
