The most important health
benefits of kava root include its ability to reduce anxiety, help in weight

symptoms, aid sleep, relax muscles, prevent headaches, and protect the kidneys.
What is Kava Root?
The kava plant is well-known
throughout the world as a medicinal remedy, one of the rare plants that don’t
actually have non-medicinal uses, such as a food source. The scientific name of
this useful plant is Piper methysticum [1], and it is also commonly called
kava-kava. This plant is native to the Western Pacific region and those major
island chains and has a variety of different traditional names there, such as
in Hawaii and Tonga. The plant itself resembles a shrub, but the most useful
part of the plant cannot be seen above ground. Kava root is packed with a range
of organic compounds and specific nutrients that make the plant so valuable,
including minerals, water, starch, dietary fiber, protein, and kavalactones. It
is this final constituent that is accessed when preparing kava root for
consumption.
The kava root is dried, pounded,
ground, or chewed to release the chemical constituents from the root, and this
is then quickly placed in water to “catch” the kavalactones in their starchy
shell. Once these are mixed with water, the beverage is drunk as quickly as
possible for the best possible effect. The taste isn’t necessarily pleasant,
but nor is it foul. Most importantly, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of
health benefits after drinking this decoction. [2] There have been many
varieties and strengths of kava root preparation throughout history, but they
were all attempting to derive the same benefits. Now, let’s take a closer look
at some of the health benefits of kava root.
Health Benefits of Kava Root
Health benefits of kava root include:
Pain Relief and Muscle Spasms
One of the most under-reported
benefits of kava root is actually its anti-inflammatory and analgesic
qualities. [3] While these are mild in comparison to other effects, these might
be the most widely needed by the general population. If you suffer from
arthritis or have recently had surgery or an injury, then having a quick kava
root decoction could be just what the doctor ordered to relieve inflammation
and pain.
Sleep Aid
The soothing quality of kava
root, which is largely derived from its kavalactones, can have a major impact
on your sleeping patterns and habits. If you tend to suffer from insomnia or
restlessness while you sleep, why not try adding some kava root to your daily
or weekly regimen? It can ease muscle tension and body aches, allowing you to
find a comfortable position, while also soothing the mind and allowing you to
drift off into uninterrupted sleep.
Anxiety Aid
The anxiolytic effects of kava
root are probably the most well-known and desired by users herbal
practitioners. [4] By managing the hormonal balance in the body and easing the
release of stress hormones into the bloodstream, kava root extracts and
decoctions can keep your body and mind feeling calm and content, not to mention
eliminating the potential dangers of having too many stress hormones in your
system!
Headache Prevention
Although closely related to the
other pain relief and inflammation benefit, kava root has also shown its
efficacy against headaches and migraines, offering quick relief from those
suffering from the conditions in laboratory tests. [5]
Kidney Health
Brewing from the rootstock of
kava has long been used in traditional medicine to prevent urinary tract
infections. As these infections tend to come back quite often for some
individuals, having a simple solution like a kava root decoction is a wise
choice.
Menopause Issues
As women age, they enter a period
of life called menopause, when they stop menstruating. However, this transition
can be long and uncomfortable, including hot flashes, cramping, hormonal
swings, and anxiety. Kava root has been tested positively in individuals going
through menopause and has shown itself to be superior to placebo and
over-the-counter menopause treatments. [6]
Weight Loss Goals
Although this is a
second-generation health benefit, kava root can help you lose weight by
eliminating stress and anxiety. [7] One of the most common triggers for
overeating is stress, so by removing the stimuli, kava root can help people
lose weight and avoid snacking between meals.
Prevent Premature Aging
Antioxidants are powerful organic
compounds that can help our bodies stay safe by eliminating or neutralizing
free radicals around our systems. Free radicals are the dangerous byproducts of
cellular respiration and can cause the mutation or apoptosis of healthy cells.
This can lead to premature aging and other diseases. [8] In terms of kava root,
it has often been praised for its life-giving qualities, and studies have shown
that free radical activity is decreased with kava root application, as the
concentration of antioxidants is so high.
Quit Smoking
Kava root is a popular tool to
help people quit anything (alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, etc.), as it can help
curb cravings and eliminate the anxiety so often caused when all you want in
the world is a cigarette. [9] Kava root decoction can calm the nerves when you
are particularly desperate to break the promise to yourself. In other words,
the kava root represents a major challenge to two globally dominant industries
– cigarettes and anti-depressants.
Side Effects of Kava Root
While kava root almost sounds too
good to be true, there are a few considerations of which people should be aware
of. You should not combine kava root with alcohol, as it is already quite
potent and gives you a small “high” of energy and clarity when you drink it. If
you are currently taking anxiolytics or anti-depressants, mixing them with this
potent blend can be disorienting and unpleasant. [10]
Also, the use of kava is
restricted/banned by some countries. That being said, before adding anything
new to your typical health regimen, consult your doctor or a trained herbalist.
