See below: New research indicates there are advantages to using kava to treat anxiety, rather than pharmaceutical drugs. A trial of 60 people with chronic levels of anxiety has found anxiety dropped significantly. You can use these kava products for anxiety by taking 2.5 grams of quick kava or a 330 ml lava cola.

Caution: Although a traditional beverage in polynesian cultures, kava extracts have been associated with liver damage. See: http://www.Cdc.Gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5147a1.Htm there are safer ways to treat anxiety.
