Rigorous clinical studies, like those supported by Kava Coalition, are imperative to reveal the safety, efficacy, and potential long-term effects of kava use. Kava’s bioactive constituents, kavalactones, may have potential in addressing some of the growing mental health concerns suffered by many individuals. This research can guide its utilization as a viable natural remedy for individuals seeking alternative approaches to managing stress.

Kava, far from being just another pharmaceutical remedy, represents a genuinely effective means to relax and heal the mind and body, unlike anything else in the world. My journey with Kava and the research I've undertaken aims to shed light on the incredible potential of this plant and challenge outdated misconceptions about its safety and benefits.

I regularly hear the narrative that kava is getting abused, has lost its cultural signification, and should not be consumed the way we are today. The fact is that kava is still consumed traditionally on our islands, still shared during custom ceremonies, and the "modern" drinking is not impacting the tradition. Tradition evolves as the world is changing, and it is not necessarily bad!

It's incredibly soothing to sip kava from a coconut bowl; it enhances the earthy flavor and connects me more deeply to this traditional drink. I really enjoy the unique experience of drinking kava from a traditional coconut bowl.

In September 2019, I decided to stop drinking alcohol for various reasons. Not long thereafter Covid hit and oddly enough it opened up new opportunities for me in terms of business and community networking and organizing. In 2020 I found myself at a new Kava bar in the downtown arts district of my neighborhood. I was intrigued by the experience and I enjoyed the calming and social aspects of this bar, ie it was super laid back and chill. Since then I’ve visited several kava bars in Arizona and California and continue to engage in the kava and overall non alcoholic beverage communities. It’s nice to have kava as a healthier option without being overwhelmed with alcohol in social settings and to simply wind down after a long day.

While at the doctor's office, I was looking over a Living Well magazine where I found the article and post about The Traveling Gypsies. I saw it was on Broad Street, I was on a mission to find the place! I had a headache all that morning, I went in, spoke with Hayden (one of the Kava Tenders). He poured me a cup and started explaining all about the place and what Kava was!! And my headache was gone right when I drank the Kava!! A great place with great people!!! Everyone is so kind! A regular place for me now!😀❤️

Being from the island of Puerto Rico we constantly use natural plants, kava is very natural for us in a lot that we use. It's been forgotten but not to us. We'll never forget it and we recommend it.

I started my kava journey about two years ago. I am a psychologist, always looking for new ways to enjoy life and help my clients. I love experimenting and continuously find new ways to brew and enjoy. It's nice to sip as I relax with my family in the evenings. I bring it to social events, and everyone loves trying it.

I have occasionally heard about kava through word of mouth but never had given it much thought. Two years ago, I was at a very low point in my life. I longed for community but didn't know where to look. I decided to go to the kava bar I heard a little about and grew to love traditional kava. Over time, I became a patron not only for the kava but also because of the amazing friends I made. The workers and the customers are amazing people. Kava has helped me worry less, but it also helped me get back on track to finding who I am.
