from $8.00

Kava kava root is a traditional herb made from the root of the kava plant, long used in cultural and herbal practices for its deeply relaxing and grounding qualities. This cut and sifted form allows for easier preparation while maintaining its earthy character and supportive properties.

Traditional Uses
Traditionally used to support:

  • Relaxation and stress relief

  • Nervous system balance

  • A sense of calm and ease

Flavor Profile: Has a strong, sharp and sour taste. Blend with other botanicals to improve palatability.

Key Benefits

  • Deeply relaxing and calming

  • Supports unwinding after stress or tension

  • Promotes a sense of calm without heaviness

  • A unique herb with long-standing traditional use

Ways to Use
Traditional Preparation: Typically prepared by steeping or kneading in cool or lukewarm water rather than hot water
• May also be used in specific tradition preparation. Because Kava is a fibrous root, it requires a specific preparation method to release its natural properties. Follow these steps for an authentic infusion:

  • Measure: Use 1 tsp (about 2g) of cut & sifted root in a fine-mesh strainer bag or muslin cloth.  

  • Soak: Submerge the bag in 8-12 ounces of warm water (about 40°C). Avoid boiling water.  

  • Knead & Squeeze: Massage and squeeze the root in the bag for 5-10 minutes to release kavalactones.  

  • Final Press: Squeeze the bag again to extract all liquid. The resulting water should be opaque and milky.  

  • Serve: Enjoy the infusion in small sips. A slight numbing sensation in the mouth is normal for high-quality Kava.

Additional Uses
Tincture: Can be prepared as a concentrated herbal extract
Topical: Less commonly used topically, but may be incorporated into specialized preparations
DIY Projects: Can be included in calming herbal blends
