Take It Down a Notch

Kava for Relaxation

The Pacific Islanders have a secret weapon for mental stress. The kava root has been cultivated for hundreds of years and is an integral part of the island culture; its properties are known to create a sense of tranquility and well being, without harmful side effects or dependence. With so much to keep your mind busy these days, you may feel that your brain cells are humming along at warp speed. If you need a way to wind down after a hectic day, consider the amazing kava herb.

When you’ve finally hit the pillow and your body is ready to rest, your thoughts can still keep on chattering, often making sleep impossible. If you have trouble getting your mind to take a time out, drink a cup of kava tea before bed to take the edge off and slow your thoughts. Kava provides a perfect compliment to a warm bath, some gentle yoga and deep breathing to send you off to a restful and restorative night of slumber.
