Kava Calm provides a blend of Kava* and Passionflower, two calming herbs traditionally used to relax the mind and body, help alleviate mild anxiety and promote sound sleep.

Kava has a long history of use in Pacific Island cultures where Kava root beverages are consumed on social occasions and during ceremonies to help relax the mind and body, reduce mild anxiety and afterwards promote restful sleep. Kava acts by influencing the chemical messengers in the brain called neurotransmitters, specifically those that affect mood and sleep. The kavalactones naturally found in Kava, are recognised as the main active constituents responsible for this physiological effect.

Passionflower is valued in Western Herbal Medicine for its calming properties and ability to assist with nervous tension and anxiety. It is also traditionally regarded as having a mild sedative action and is used to help relieve restlessness and poor sleep. - See more at: http://www.naturessunshine.com.au/products/product-roots/kava-calm-139.html#sthash.dTFI8Kqc.dpuf
