What is kava?

Kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant that is a member of the pepper family, Piperaceae and is an outstanding ethnopharmacological species. It has been cultivated and used by the people in the South Pacific for thousands of years.

The name kava is from Tongan and Marquesan, meaning 'bitter'; other names for kava include ʻawa, ʻava, yaqona or yagona, sakau, seka, and malok or malogu.

Studies have shown that the properties in kava can help ease anxiety, relieve stress, and relax muscle and nervous tension, as well as combat insomnia and improve sleep problems. That's why many people who consume kava use it as a natural alternative to anti-anxiety medication.

Our products are all topical use and normally will start working soon after it is applied.

With our Sleep products, it will help you feel calm, relaxed and then sleepy.

With our Relief products, it is specific to the location of the product application, but you’ll notice numbing and then relief from aches and discomfort.

With our Focus products, you’ll notice calming of your mind and less noise and distraction to help you focus on school, projects, assignments, or even on your family.

All of this, of course, depends on the quality of the kava, the strain, and your own tolerance which, we found, lessens over time

We are pioneers of the topical formulation use of kava.

First, we utilize industry leading analytics and pay attention to good quality control practices to prepare small batches of our products.

Second, we use a kava analyzing instrument to hone in on specific kava compounds within a variety of noble kavas in our arsenal to formulate and bring out the desired effect for our lineup of products – Be it relief, focus or sleep, our labels are not just slapped on the same batch of kava; our labels represent a precisely calibrated formula to help you achieve the wellness you are searching for.

This is why the quality and analysis of the kava is important. The reports of hepatotoxicity related to kava had to do with the quality, freshness, extraction method, and how the kava was used.

There is no association of hepatotoxicity when kava is used topically.
