Journey of the Pacific
The Story of Kava
Kava's active chemicals, known as kavalactones, interact with the brain's limbic system. The amygdala, a component of the limbic system that governs emotions, is included in this. As a result, Kava is well-known for its calming effects on both the mind and the body.
When you consume kava, you should feel peaceful and comfortable, as well as a better sensation of wellness, happiness, and maybe euphoria. Any sensations of anxiety, worry, or tension will fade away. Any problematic ideas that are running through your head will come to a halt. Your muscles will begin to relax, your body will feel heavy, and you may finally get drowsy.
Kava is a plant that grows in the Pacific islands. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage, known simply as kava.
It's About the People
Taste of Nature
For hundreds of years, Pacific island cultures have been using kava for ceremonial purposes and as a recreational beverage. Kava is believed to help alleviate anxiety and stress, improve sleep quality and promote relaxation.
Kava originates in the South Pacific and that is why it is much closer to the people of the Pacific. Kava is more than a drink, in the past and even in the present, it is used in rituals, as a gift and as a symbol in many cultures around the Pacific.
Kava is also seen as a way to bond people socially. Friends and family would sit around the tanoa (traditional basin) to enjoy kava and talk about their day, share stories, tell jokes and unwind.
Healthy Benefits and More
Kava Today
While kava has long been consumed in drinks, more recently it's gained popularity as a supplement. Kava is generally consumed as a drink. However, it's also available in other forms, including powders, capsules, tablets and tinctures.
There are many different varieties of kava — some with slightly different effects on your body — which have historically been cultivated specifically for certain regions or islands. The most important thing to understand about kava in Fiji is its tremendous cultural significance. This is a plant that has shaped the entire history of the islands and continues to be the focal point of social interactions even today.
Westerners have only had access to kava for a few hundred years, but the plant has been a part of Fiji culture for tens of thousands of years.
In addition to the historical significance of kava in Fiji, it is also known for its many health benefits, which include: reducing anxiety and stress, improving sleep quality, relieving insomnia, reducing pain sensations, improving mood and relieving muscle tension.
