W.H.O. Says Kava is Safe, Australia Bans It
The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration describes kava, also known as kava kava or Piper methysticum, as a member of the pepper family that has traditionally been cultivated by Pacific Islanders for use as a social and ceremonial drink, which is traditionally either ground or chewed up and mixed with water or coconut milk.

South Pacific producers of kava were delighted this week at the publication of a World Health Organization report declaring kava to be a safe product, although they feel that it should be available by prescription, rather than a simple over-the-counter herbal supplement, in an effort to better monitor its use in both the United States and abroad. The chairman of the Fiji Kava Council Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo, who has long been battling the powers that be in an attempt to get kava recognized for the safe and effective herbal supplement with 3,000 years of safe use, said that as far as the...

The bottle says that there are 25 active mg of kavalactones in one serving, and says one serving is 10-20 drops. Makaira says: One serving, in accordance with FDA guidelines, is 1 dropperful, into one glass of whatever you are drinking. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but we can’t offer anything past that, and can only by law, offer what we have been instructed by the FDA to offer.

Read MoreWhich Kind of Kava Should I Buy?
Misha asked: Hi, I have just learned about kava tonight and I am really interested in taking it. I’m 21 and have heard and seen just too many negatives about alcohol. So I’m lookin’ to try something else. I was wondering what I should buy (powder, chai mix, etc.) to start with, and which would last me the longest because I don’t want to keep re-buying it every week. The 1 pound bag of powder at 2-4 tbs per cup of juice sounds like it will last many nights. What do you think? Makaira says: This is a difficult question to answer, since every single person and body can...
