[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.

These pancakes are to die for. After coming across pumpkin pancakes in a cafe one day, I jumped straight into the kitchen when I got back home to try and recreate them, and I reckon this recipe has nailed it.

Get the recipe from my website here: https://nadialim.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-pancakes-apple-walnut-compote/

They’re light and fluffy (as all good pancakes should be), but with the added scrumptiousness of having all the delicious flavours of a sweet, spiced pumpkin pie (a personal fav). Top em’ off with some grilled bacon, apple, walnuts and cinnamon and maple syrup, and I’m telling you, breakfast will not get any better than this!

You can make these babies gluten-free by using buckwheat flour or gluten-free flour (and one extra teaspoon of baking powder) if you wish, and also dairy-free by using dairy-free milk.

Note: To make roasted and mashed pumpkin, toss 600-700g peeled and chopped butternut or pumpkin with a drizzle of oil and maple syrup on an oven tray lined with baking paper, and roast for 45-60 minutes or until soft and slightly caramelised. Mash well with a fork.
