Early sailors, described for the western world a ceremonial use of an intoxicating drink prepared from the root of kava kava. The beverage first causing a tingling sensation , followed by a relaxed , sociable state, where fatigue and anxiety are lessened.



Kava has a very interesting tingly numbing quality, this is also transferred into deep tissues which makes it a perfect topical application for tight muscles, stress, and sports injuries as it relieves tension, pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. One of the most under-reported benefits of kava root is actually its anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain reducing) qualities. While these are mild in comparison to other effects, these might be the most widely needed by the general population. If you suffer from arthritis, or have recently had surgery or an injury, kava balm could be just what the doctor ordered.


Kava is an incredible relaxant herb that is well suited for deep stress that settles into the musculature of the body. This type of stress may leave your neck muscles clenched or wound tight making it very difficult to relax and let go after an overwhelming and hectic day. Kava has the amazing ability, unlike any other relaxing nervine herbs that I know of, to leave you feeling like you’re comfortably lying on the beach without a care in the world.

CBD stands for Cannabidiol. While CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. C.B.D oil. Has a collective affect in the blood reaching a state where the anti inflammatory  and pain reducing actions take place, my clients who have used both C.B.D oil and Kava report kava has a faster stronger effect for relieving pain, due to the immediate affect of medicinal kavalactone properties on the muscles and nerves.


External application of Kava Balm.
