[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[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.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

MALE SEXUAL POTENCY – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Declining potency for males are usually due to aging, sudden or continuous weakening of health, or too much sex when young. There are many Chinese herbs that can arrest the decline. If taken over a period of time, they will gradually bring back your virility. Of course, they cannot bring you back to when you were 18.

Chinese herbs cannot deliver the mechanical performance of Viagra and the likes. Furthermore, they don’t give you the expected effect when you take them a few hours beforehand. Being a product of nature, they help you build up the potency at the rate your body can handle (not what your mind wants). Think of it as muscle building where a sustained effort gives you a long-term effect. After a period of time as short as a few weeks, you’ll find that the herbs are steadily working for you.

The prescription should basically be a strengthening combination aiming at the kidneys, the blood, the Qi, and the Yang.
1) Kidneys
Xu Duan 續 斷
Du Zhong 杜 仲
Qian Shi 芡 實
Rou Cong Rong 肉 蓯 容
2) Blood
Chuan Xiong 川 芎
Dang Gui 當 歸
Shu Di Huang 熟 地 黃
3) The Qi
Huang Qi 黃耆
Du Huo 獨 活
Gou Ji 狗 瘠
4) The Yang
Suo Yang 鎖 陽
Xian Ling Pi 仙 靈 皮
Ba Ji Tian 巴 戟 天
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

One must be careful not to prescribe an overdose for fast results. The consequence may be negative. When strengthening herbs are used, they generate a lot of heat inside the body. Excess heat may bring on sleep difficulty, mouth sores, headache, nose bleeding, or constipation. Worse, it may cause your blood pressure to rise.

Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for the excess heat to dissipate from your body before bedtime.
Drink more water if you feel more thirsty than usual.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Your age
* How weak is your body.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.
