Kava is a drink made from the roots of a plant that grows in the South Pacific. People have been drinking kava for hundreds of years because it helps them relax and feel less stressed. Kava is usually made into a tea or powder, and it doesn't make people feel high, like some other drinks. Instead, it can help calm your mind and body.

Kava works by affecting the chemicals in your brain. One of the key chemicals is called GABA. GABA helps calm down the nervous system, which can make you feel more relaxed and less anxious. When you drink kava, it may help boost the GABA in your brain, which makes you feel calm, like you just took a deep breath after a stressful day.

Kava is safe when used the right way. Drinking too much or using bad-quality kava can be harmful, especially to your liver. But when people use good-quality kava in moderation, it can help them relax without causing harm. It’s important to know where your kava comes from and how it was made, just like you would with any other food or drink!
