Kava, also known as Piper methysticum, is a traditional root used for centuries in the South Pacific for its calming, mood-enhancing, and anti-anxiety effects. Today, it’s gaining popularity in the U.S. as a natural alternative to alcohol and pharmaceuticals — and at Strain Farmer, we make it easy to experience kava your way.
🌱 What is Kava and How Does It Work?
Kava is made from the root of the kava plant, ground into a fine powder, and traditionally brewed into a tea-like drink. Its active compounds, called kavalactones, interact with your central nervous system — producing a sense of relaxation without impairing your mental clarity.
