From cozymaxxing to “floor time,” holistic stress relief is surging and people are actively seeking natural ways to lower their cortisol levels and reset.
Dr Kevin Robinson (KSR) recently caught up with Craig Henderson (CH), CEO and founder of Extract Labs (pictured), to discuss what’s been described as nature’s answer to Xanax: kava.
Native to the South Pacific, kava (Piper methysticum) is a traditional herbal remedy that has been used for centuries in traditional ceremonies and social gatherings. Known for its calming effects, kava has been a staple in cultures throughout Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga, and is often consumed as a communal drink to promote relaxation and connection.
Fast forward to today and innovative products such as kava gummies are making it easier than ever to enjoy these stress-relieving benefits while fitting seamlessly into modern wellness routines.
With more and more people looking for plant-based options to “take the edge off,” it’s time to dig a little deeper and explore how kava engages GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors differently (and more gently) than Xanax and why there are no reported risks of addiction, withdrawal, or dependence.
