[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.

Reishi Mushroom (aka Ganoderma, Ling Zhi, or Mannentake) For thousands of years, spiritual seekers have regarded Reishi as the
top herb for spritual growth because of it’s reknowned ability to help
us increase our spiritual wisdom known as “Shen” in China.

Known as the “spirit herb”, Reishi was particularly revered by
the followers of the Taoist tradition who use it to enhance meditation
and other spiritual practices.

They continually claim it sharpens yet calms the mind, enhances intelligence and wisdom, builds willpower, and revere it’s ability to expand ones level of consciousness so we can access the higher realms and connect with spirit in our search for “enlightenment.”

While you cannot “reishi” your way to God, it does improve the intensityand quality of our Shen spiritual energy to support the expansion of consciousness and the unfolding of the kundalini.

Spiritualy speaking, it helps open your “crown chakra.”
