The many benefits of kava
What is Kava?
Kava, yaqona, awa, ava or sakau are all names used for this traditional plant (shrub) that grows in all parts of South Pacific. The Kava Drink (tea) is a relaxing beverage using the roots and has been enjoyed in the South Pacific Islands for over 3,000 years. Kava is deeply anchored to islands tradition and customs, as it is a drink that promotes happiness and peace in your mind, body and soul. Our noble kava follows all six alkaloids to promote various effects ranging from relaxing to creative stimulation and pain relief.
At Kava Depot, we find it important to be diligent at every step, starting with the first step, this is why our founder spent so much energy sourcing great farmers to import raw kava. We are involved with farmers all over the South Pacific including, Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Hawaii, and Papua New Guinea.
Calm & Relaxation
Traditionally used to soothe the mind and body, Kava helps relieve tension and promotes a sense of calm, ideal for unwinding after a busy day.

Kava is often used as a natural aid for sleep, encouraging deeper, more restorative rest. It’s especially beneficial for those struggling with occasional insomnia.
Boosted social connections
Kava has been enjoyed in social gatherings for centuries, promoting openness and bonding. It’s known to reduce social anxiety, making interactions feel more relaxed.
Reduced stress & anxiety
Studies have shown that Kava can ease symptoms of anxiety by calming the nervous system, helping you face daily stressors with a balanced mind.
Supports mental clarity
Unlike some calming herbs, Kava can relax the mind without dulling alertness, making it ideal for mental clarity and focus in everyday tasks.

Known for its mild muscle-relaxing effects, Kava can help ease physical tension, promoting relief in tight muscles after physical activity or stress.
