"The [kava] potion is calming and relaxing without producing cognitive disturbances" "In a double blind study kava extract with 210 mg kavalactones (n=29) was compared with placebo (n=29) in outpatients complaining of anxiety, tension and agitation syndromes of non-psychotic origin. A significant superiority of the kava extract was observed after 4 weeks of treatment." |
