KAVA Benefits at YOLLO Wellness Fort Myers Florida

Kava is Safe to Use
The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.
In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.
Relieves Anxiety and Stress
Symptoms associated with anxiety such as nervousness, restlessness, and dizziness have been offset with the use of Kava. German researchers in 2003 compared kava (400 mg a day) with standard doses of two anti-anxiety medications in 129 people. After eight weeks, all three treatments were equally effective. Other German scientists compared kava (100 mg three times a day) with standard doses of two drugs in the Valium family of tranquilizers in 172 people. After six weeks, all three treatments were equally effective. Two research teams, one British, the other German, performed sophisticated statistical tests (meta-analyses) on studies of kava for anxiety. The English group reviewed seven trials, the Germans six. In both analyses, kava proved an effective treatment for anxiety.
Weight Loss
Stress and anxiety is a powerful trigger for weight gain. Stress stimulates the production of a stress hormone called cortisol. This hormone initiates several metabolic reactions that can influence your weight. Cortisol will stimulate sugar release and fat burn for the purpose of providing your body with energy in a fight-or-flight kind of response. Cortisol tells your body to replenish that energy even though you haven’t used very many calories in your stressed-out state. This can make you hungry… very hungry. And your body keeps on pumping out that cortisol as long as the stress continues.
Combat Premature Aging
Stress is a major factor in aging. The more stress, the faster one ages. Stress sets off physiological reactions in the body that affect the skin and causes the release of stress hormones like cortisol that reduces collagen production. Collagen is the protein that is responsible for skin smoothness and elasticity. Many skin creams and moisturizers attempt to restore the skins collagen, but if your natural production is reduced, then no amount of skin cream can help or will only serve as a temporary solution.
Quit Smoking Aid
Kava can help surmount the challenges of drug and alcohol addiction. Due to its relaxant effect and anxiolytic abilities kava can help people cope with cigarette cravings and the associated anxiety.
Menopause Symptoms
One study shows that Kava Kava can improve symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. Italian researchers gave one of three treatments to 68 women complaining of menopause-induced anxiety: a placebo, low-dose kava (100 mg a day) or
high-dose kava (200 mg daily). Both kava treatments were significantly more effective than the placebo.

Insomnia
Consuming Kava Kava before retiring to bed has been shown to result in restful sleep. It primarily improves sleep quality and decreases the time needed to fall asleep.
A third group of German researchers gave 61 people with anxiety-related sleep problems either a placebo or kava (200 mg a day). Four weeks later, the kava group reported significantly more satisfying sleep.

Depression
Results of some studies suggest Kava Kava may be as effective as certain anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications, without the harmful side effects.
Combat pain as an analgesic
Because of the relaxant effect it has on the muscles, Kava Kava can offset pain associated with a muscle spasm
