What Does Kava Kava Extract Do?
Kava Kava is thought to exert its therapeutic effects by acting on the limbic system (an ancient part of the brain that controls emotions), without dulling the mind. The Kavalactones do not interact specifically with the receptor binding sites in the limbic system which cause sedation, rather, they modify the receptor domains.
What Is The Limbic System?
A group of interconnected deep brain structures, common to all mammals, and involved in olfaction, emotion, motivation, behavior, and various autonomic functions.
The effect of Kava Kava causes one to feel happy, unconcerned and contented. Mental status (in terms of acuity and cognition) is not altered despite tiredness of limbs and the dreamy state one enters. Kava Kava will not place one into an angry state and there are no hangovers.
What Are Kava Kava's Benefits?
Kava Kava's relaxant and calming properties can help to offset a number of problems, most notably stress and disrupted sleep patterns. However, in addition to these, Kava Kava has many more benefits.
Kava Kava May Help:

Counter muscle problems: advocates of Kava Kava suggest it might help to treat the muscle pain associated with fibro myalgia. This is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain in the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints, fatigue, and tenderness at specific sites in the body.
Hasten alcohol and tobacco cessation: due to its relaxant effect, Kava Kava can help surmount the challenges of drug addition.
Treat urogenital problems: Bladder and urinary tract infections have been treated with the traditional use of Kava Kava for many years.
Treat insomnia: consuming Kava Kava before retiring has been shown to result in restful sleep - it primarily improves sleep quality and decreases the time needed to fall asleep.
