Book Overview
Discover Nature's Treatment for Stress, Anxiety, and Insomnia Kava has been used ritually and medicinally in the islands of the South Pacific for centuries. Widely used in Europe, this amazing herb has been shown to relieve tension and anxiety while maintaining alertness. In larger doses kava promotes deep, restful sleep. Safe, natural, and inexpensive, kava is the perfect supplement for today's stress-filled lifestyle, and the ideal alternative to drugs such as Valium. "Authoritative, fascinating, and richly readable, this book tells you what you want to know about kava and guides you in using it." -James S. Gordon., M.D., Director of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine and author of Manifesto for a New Medicine "An engaging and informative guide to understanding and using kava." -Jack Canfield, coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul "A valuable contribution to the body of kava literature. Sharing a seasoned clinician's positive experience, the authors cast a deservedly cool light on Valium and its chemical cousins, and let kava emerge as a safe, effective remedy for stress and anxiety." -Chris Kilham, author of Kava, Medicine Hunting in Paradise

Kava is fabulous!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I have the pleasure of living in the only city in the country that has an authentic Kava Bar. I've chosen to remain anonymous to keep it underground, where is should stay. Kava is amazing and this book is just another testimonial of that fact. Kava does just what this book claims that it does...it cured my insomnia, and that's a fact. I just dread the day Kava becomes the next frapaccino, because I love it right where it is. It is illegal in Canada and Germany and probably many other places, so I'm hoping that that doesn't happen in the U.S. by people abusing this awesome herbal medication.
Best book on Kava I've seen!

Another exemplary achievement from Dr. Hyla Cass following hot on the heels of her outstanding book on St. John's Wort. Well-presented information on this herbal stress reliever, with case histories, research information, even a discussion on the growing, politics and economics of the kava industry. This includes attention to issues of sustainability, fairness in compensating the native South Sea Island growers and legal issues regarding herbal claims under DSHEA. Thorough coverage with something for everyone! A must-read. Highly recommended!
The best book I have seen on how to effectively use Kava.

Dr. Cass has done it again! She has followed up on her excellent book on St. John's Wort with another stellar performance. She has combined her expertise as a physician and psychiatrist with her outstanding ability to convey useful, practical information and it has all come together as the best Kava book on the market. I highly recommend it to you.

A highly readable and informative Kava resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As we enter the new paradigm in healthcare, it is essential that publishers and authors provide the lay person with research tools that empower us to take care of ourselves. Dr. Hyla Cass has accomplished this mission and given us a very readable and informative book which explores the history, research and uses of Kava. This is yet one more powerful example of moving away from our reliance on expensive pharmaceutical solutions and moving toward affordable self administered herbal solutions.Thank you Dr. Cass for your important and illuminating work in the world.
