Kava kava is an ancient
herb indigenous to islands in the South Pacific used to relieve stress,
anxiety, insomnia, tension, and general body pain. Kava Kava is often
used as an herbal substitute for sedatives such as Valium and Xanax. Pacific
islanders first used kava kava more than three thousand years ago. Originally
used for native beverages, kava kava is now a common ingredient in dietary
supplements sold all over the world. Kava kava is a leafy plant that is
a type of pepper. The most potent part of the Kava Kava plant is the root,
which is processed to make powders and teas, although in some cases, the
whole kava kava plant is used. In recent years, kava kava has become more
popular in the United States, ranking ninth in sales of herbal supplements,
and averaging sales in the tens of millions annually.
Health officials say that kava kava may cause liver damage.
More than thirty cases of kava kava related liver toxicity have been reported
to the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medicinal Products. Recently,
Kava Kava's reputation was seriously undermined when German pharmaceutical
giant Merck recalled all of the company's products that contain kava kava.
The FDA recently announced that it will also investigate kava kava.
