In the Pacific region, Pepper tree is used mainly for its relaxing, relaxing and intoxicating effects. Thus, it is able to effectively fight anxiety, stress and depression. It also acts as an effective hypnotic – it induces calm and undisturbed sleep, and is thus popularly used as a remedy against insomnia.
In medicine, Kava is used for its analgesic effects. It relieves pain of all kinds, relaxes muscles and also helps against cramps. All this without impairing the cognitive functions of the nervous system as is typical of other preparations with similar effects.
Pepper is also applied externally. It is laid on open wounds or in fungal or skin diseases. It has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and also serves as a local anesthetic.
According to Czech legislation, Kava Kava is not an approved dietary supplement or food and is therefore sold for collector's purposes only.

Lina (verified owner) –
Unverified reviewI tried Kava Kava a 70% root extract—taking about half a teaspoon mixed into oat milk.
It didn't taste very good, and I had to rinse my mouth afterward. The first effect was an immediate, distinct numbing sensation in my mouth, which lasted about 15 minutes. After about 40 minutes, I gradually began to feel physically and mentally relaxed.
I fell asleep quickly and had an unusually deep, uninterrupted sleep. This was a huge departure from my usual pattern, which typically involves waking up multiple times (about seven) during the night. Instead, my sleep was continuous and restorative.
Upon waking naturally (without an alarm clock) at around 8 a.m., I felt no grogginess or lingering heaviness. I felt remarkably alert, positive, and energetic upon waking, with no hangover-like effects.
The overall experience was smooth, with no adverse effects or side effects observed.
