Kava

Kava is an herb that has long been utilized for its anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and calming effects. One of the primary mechanisms of action of stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve, helping to shift the body out of the fight or flight stress response. It helps to elevate mood and sensory perception, diminishes pain, and decreases adrenaline. †

Kava is well studied around the world as it has been recognized as a very useful herb for centuries. Studies have shown its mechanisms of action to include decreasing levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, binds to GABA receptors in some regions in the brain, relaxes muscles through direct action on muscle contractibility, inhibits noradrenalin (norepinephrine) uptake, contributing to psychotropic properties and shows similarity to mood stabilizers. †
