Abstract
This paper provides an explanation of the origins of the herb and describes its benefits. It looks at the traditional and modern uses of kava-kava and describes its chemical compound and make-up.
From the Paper
"Kava is a member of the pepper family and can be found growing in many areas of the Pacific. Kava is native and commonly consumed in areas from New Guinea to Hawaii except New Zealand, the Solomon Islands, Polynesia, especially in Samoa and Tonga, Fiji and in Micronesia. Current research suggests that it may have first been domesticated less than 3,000 years ago in Vanuatu, a group of islands in eastern Melanesia. The use of kava seems then to have diffused both westward to New Guinea and part of Micronesia and eastward into Fiji and then Polynesia."
