Progress for Kava in Australia (And a Little Hawaiian History)
Aloha Everyone! I hope the new year has been going well for all of you so far. Here at the farm we’ve been incredibly busy, and there hasn’t been much time for rest or relaxation (though ‘awa has still been a constant and calming companion at the end of my work day). I’d like to take a moment to share some great news, and a bit of Hawaiian history with all of you. You may remember my mentioning the Australian kava ban in a few of my blog posts last year. Kava is treated as a prescription-only medicine in Australia, meaning that one has to have a license from a Western...
Read MoreMy First Kava Experience
Aloha everyone! Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed peaceful holidays, and a gentle transition into the New Year. I came down with a cold last week, so I’ve been enjoying a few peaceful, restful days at home, bundled up in my slippers and sweater and drinking lots of tea (and ‘awa!). Many of my friends have mentioned that they feel that this will be a year of truth-telling and personal self expression, in which we can all come forth and discuss our experiences in order to benefit ourselves and others. In honor of this new year of honesty, I’d like to share the story of...

Aloha everyone! Recently, one of our customers, Joel, asked me a very interesting question. He was curious which kava product I would recommend as an addition to a tradition that his family took part in several times a year. His family gathers at a specific spot on a river, where they sit around a campfire and tell stories about ancestors and local legends in order to create a strong connection to each other and to the past. The family had decided to include kava in this ritual, in order to enhance bonding and communication! Of course, I recommended our traditional powdered kava root, since...
Read MoreThe Aloha Spirit – Kava for Planetary Healing
Aloha Everyone! The weather here in Hawaii has been wonderful lately. Things got a little crazy back in March with tons of rain, hail, flooding, and even a waterspout! But now we’re back to normal with lovely weather, lots of sun, and just enough sweet island rain here and there to make the ‘awa plants sing. Of course, I’ve been super busy on the farm, but I’ve still had time to gather some of the most recent kava news, and I’m happy to report that everything is looking great for global awareness of this magnificent healer! The influx of articles about the...
Read MoreFinally, some Good Kava News!
Aloha everyone! The last few months have seen an incredible number of articles on the potential dangers of kava and other natural herbal supplements. These articles (which mostly seemed to repeat the exact same information over and over again with no particular evidence to back up their alarmist claims), informed readers that kava could cause liver damage and possible death, ignoring the fact that most pharmaceutical medicines prescribed by doctors for anxiety, physical pain, and depression have much higher rates of potentially deadly side effects than kava has ever had in its thousands of...
