[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[Kava is Safe to Use]

The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.

In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

https://mamanatural.com/ Coconut milk is a nutritious beverage that tastes great in smoothies, curries, and even chai tea. What’s more, it makes a wonderful substitute for those that can’t tolerate dairy, particularly children, since it’s contains nourishing lauric acid as well as medium chain fatty acids which are known for their health benefits… definitely heartier than rice milk.

Now, how do we make this drink? Well, easy. Climb a tree. Pick a coconut. Then get a hammer and smash the thing open. Be sure not to hurt yourself in the process.

Ha.. ha… for those of us who don’t live in the tropics, making your own coconut milk can be a major ordeal.

That’s why I’m excited to share with you a healthy “short cut” to making the milk that doesn’t rely on a can opener. You see, canned coconut milk works fine in a pinch but we want to limit our use of canned foods due to their Bisphenol A (or BPA) content. This compound has been linked to reproductive problems, cancer and type II diabetes.

You’ll need two ingredients for this recipe. Organic, unsweetened shredded coconut. You can find this online or at health food stores. And filtered water. You can also add sweeteners or flavorings such as vanilla, cocoa, stevia, or even passion fruit but these are optional as it really tastes delicious au natural.

Below are two recipes for you to try.

“Cooked” Coconut Milk

Ingredients
2 cups organic, unsweetened shredded coconut
3 cups of hot filtered water (Use 2 cups if you want a thicker milk)

Directions

Put 2 cups of shredded coconut into blender.
Pour the boiling hot water into blender.
Slowly blend till smooth. Be cautious because the water is HOT!
Let sit for 15 minutes.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and put over bowl.
Pour the mixture through strainer and wait till cools.
Fold up cheesecloth and squeeze to get remaining liquid.
Store coconut milk in glass jar, tightly sealed in the refrigerator.
You can add flavorings and sweeteners to enhance taste.
Enjoy within 3-4 days.
*Because this coconut milk doesn’t have added emulsifiers, the fat will rise to top. Simply shake and the milk will be unified.
