The Research
Kava has a long traditional use in the South Pacific at often considerably higher doses than those used in Europe with few reported liver toxic effects, and its safety/toxicity has been studied extensively in recent years.
In 1990 the German government’s Commission E, a panel of herbal experts in the fields of medicine and pharmacy, evaluated the scientific and medical literature and had approved the use of kava as a non prescription medicine for “nervous anxiety, stress, and restlessness.”
