Synergistic Herbal Combinations – Are Kava Blends Safe?
Aloha everyone! Recently, I posted an article about our Kavalovetone product, which is a blend of kava and a number of other healing herbs. One of our readers left a comment expressing concern that it is blended herbal combinations, such our Kavalovetone, which are responsible for the cases of liver failure that have tarnished kava’s good name in the west for so many years now. I’d like to take a moment to address these concerns, and to discuss the safety of kava blends in general. I know I discuss safety a whole lot on my blog, but as kava becomes more and more popular, I find...

Aloha everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a peaceful transition into winter! Things at the farm have been pretty hectic, but we are all working hard and are still able to relax in the evenings thanks to our wonderful ‘awa (thank goodness!)

The influx of articles about the...

Aloha everyone! Happy New Year! What an amazing and productive year 2010 was for us here at Kona Kava Farm! Another year of sharing the joys of kava with the world, and enjoying it here at home with family and friends. I got to spend another year working with my beloved kava plants, and I even got to try some unique kava-based cuisine! Since then, I’ve been trying to incorporate fresh kava into my cooking with varying levels of success – maybe after I get a little more practice I’ll be able to share some of my original recipes with all of you! 2010 was also a pretty...

Kava Anxiety Relief – A Natural Anxiety Aid! Today, I wanted to share with you some basic information regarding how and why Kava anxiety relief is a wise choice for those concerned about taking prescription medication. I recently stumbled across a review of the various studies that have been done regarding kava, its toxicity, and its effects on anxiety. I thought this kind of information would be helpful to those people who are wondering if kava might help them with anxiety. Of course, we are not doctors and we can’t prescribe kava for anyone.
