to help relieve stress and anxiety, while increasing
alertness and memory. Unlike tranquilizers
or alcohol, Kava extract is not associated
with depressed mental function or impairment.
It leaves the user with an alert mind, enhancing
the ability to communicate while sharpening
the senses. In a double-blind clinical trial,
individuals taking a Kava extract for anxiety
showed a significant reduction in symptoms,
including nervousness, heart palpitations,
chest pains, headache, dizziness, and feelings
of upset stomach, without any reported side-effects.
It is free of side effects, non-addictive,
and it does not create a "tolerance," or lose
its effectiveness over time.

to be so successful in normalizing the mood and
activity level of many children with ADHD.
