| How Kava can help with anxiety? |
|
 |
Kava has valuable qualities that have been known to assist with a range of health problems. Many kava users use it as an alternative option to western medicine for anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia and like problems.
There have been many clinical studies that have shown kava to be effective in treating symptoms associated with anxiety. In a review of seven scientific studies, researchers concluded that a standardized kava extract was significantly more effective than placebo in treating anxiety. Another study found that kava substantially improved symptoms after only 1 week of treatment.
Results of clinical studies and the experiences of people using kava suggest that this herb may be as effective as certain anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. In fact, according to one recent study, kava and diazepam (a medication frequently used for anxiety) cause matching changes in brain wave activity, suggesting that they may work very similarly to calm the mind.
This parallel is further reinforced when you look at the properties of kava in comparison to other drugs used to treat anxiety such as xanax.
