The Polynesian Islanders would pre-chew the roots and then blend this saliva/root mixture with coconut milk. The resulting liquid was then fermented to produce a potent beverage that was used for important rituals. The effect of the drink is to relax spinal activity, producing an euphoric state of relaxation, but without impairing mental activity. Some users also experience a tingling feeling in the genitalia, producing all the ingredients for an interesting sexual experience.
If you would like to try a kava drink without the saliva, mix together in a blender one ounce of powdered kava kava root, two tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of soy lecithin granules, and ten ounces of water. Blend on high for one minute. This amount is enough for 2-4 people. Another method is to loosely wrap a cup of Kava powder in a loose piece of cloth. Plunge it up and down in 4 cups of water. Occasionally stop to squeeze out the kava ball. Keep plunging it up and down until the water is the 'coffee-and-cream' color. This should take 5-15 minutes. Drink.
Kava kava produces no side effects when taken in moderate doses, but its abuse can lead to health problems. Heavy abusers suffered from shortness of breath, dry scaly skin, and slight alterations in red and white blood cells and platelets. The reports of alleged liver damage have generally been dismissed, and even the country that hosted the study has repealed their ban on kava kava because it has been proved to be a safe and effective herbal product for almost any age.
Many people have found medicinal uses for kava kava. It is used by athletes as well as businessmen to help "take the edge off" and focus concentration. Kava has been shown to help ease anxiety, depression, and to help produce restful sleep. It's interesting to note that these are the some of the same effects that a satisfying sexual experience often produces. It seems that no matter how you use it, kava kava will leave you feeling better.
