Feel your tongue tingle as the tranquil vibes of Kava take over and induce relaxation. A root native to the South Pacific, embraced for centuries for its ability to bring about calmness, contentment, and social enablement.
Kava, or Piper methysticum, is a plant that is native to the South Pacific. Traditionally, its roots are harvested and ground up to make a drink that has been consumed for centuries by Pacific Islanders, especially during cultural rituals and ceremonies.
Around the world, however, kava is often used in daily routines for its calming and relaxing effects. It can be found in herbal supplements and infused into indulgent edibles, which effectively mask the bitter taste of the plant.
The active compounds in kava are called kavalactones. Kavalactones are responsible for the psychoactive effects of kava, which include relaxation, comfort, and mild euphoria. These compounds work by interacting with the GABA receptors in the brain, which are responsible for calming the nervous system.
What variety of kava do your products contain?
Hometown Hero uses sustainably sourced noble kava for all of our products. Noble kava is the safest and most commonly used variety of kava, which has been used for centuries in the South Pacific Islands for daily enjoyment.
Compared to the more intense tudei kava, noble kava has a milder and more pleasant taste and is known for its calming and relaxing effects.
