What Are Kava Kava's Benefits?

Kava Kava's relaxant and calming properties can help to offset a number of problems, most notably stress and disrupted sleep patterns. However, in addition to these, Kava Kava has many more benefits.

Kava Kava May Help:

  1. Combat pain as an analgesic: because of the relaxant effect it has on the muscles, Kava Kava can offset pain associated with a muscle spasm.
  2. Counter muscle problems: advocates of Kava Kava suggest it might help to treat the muscle pain associated with fibro myalgia. This is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain in the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints, fatigue, and tenderness at specific sites in the body.
  3. Hasten alcohol and tobacco cessation: due to its relaxant effect, Kava Kava can help surmount the challenges of drug addition.
  4. Treat urogenital problems: Bladder and urinary tract infections have been treated with the traditional use of Kava Kava for many years.
  5. Treat insomnia: consuming Kava Kava before retiring has been shown to result in restful sleep - it primarily improves sleep quality and decreases the time needed to fall asleep.
