Shownotes

Feeling wired but tired? In this bite-sized episode, we explore Kava (Piper methysticum) - a traditional Pacific Island root now being recognised for its calming, anxiolytic, and muscle-relaxing properties.⁠


What we cover:

• How Kava supports the nervous system without sedating cognition

• Key active compounds (kavalactones) and their mechanisms of action

• Why Kava may be a safe alternative for stress and anxiety

• The difference between noble vs non-noble Kava varieties

• Tips for safe clinical use, sourcing, and dosing considerations⁠

Used traditionally in ceremony and now increasingly in integrative clinics, Kava helps restore calm, regulate GABA activity, and support clients navigating overwhelm, insomnia, and mental chatter.⁠

Rooted in tradition, validated by science – discover how Kava could be a valuable ally in your toolkit for stress resilience and parasympathetic support.⁠
