When everyone drank a strange drink `` Kava '' that is drunk but has an anti-anxiety effect even though it is not alcohol, it became like this

In the Oceania region such as Hawaii and Fiji, a popular drink called “

Kava ” is made by powdering the roots of pepper trees and dissolving them in water. Active ingredient that is included in the cava ' Cava lactone ' is addition to produce a feeling as drunk on sake, it believed to depression may be because there is an anti-anxiety effect. When I went to Hawaii, I discovered that kava was sold, so I actually purchased it and drank it with multiple people to see how each effect works.

This is the powdered version of Hawaiian Kava. There are 8 oz (about 230 g) and 2 oz (about 57 g), this time I bought 2 oz.

Looking at the back, one bag can make 4 cups of kava. 0.5 ounces (about 14g) can make 8 liquid ounces (about 240ml). Daily value (recommended daily intake) is undecided.

When you take it out of the bag, the unique scent spreads. Kava is a dried powder of the roots of a plant belonging to the family Pepperaceae, and the scent is described as 'Kampo-ish' and, because of the smell of the earth, is commented as 'smelling the flowerbed' There was also.

It is like this when approaching.

One bag can make about 1 liter of kava, so put all the kava in a bowl ...

Pour about 1 liter of water.

Mix this, mix and mix.

After mixing well, rub with a strainer ...

I will drink it. I drank it in Fiji, but this time the thing was good, or because the eyes of the strainer were a little rough, the finish was quite dark. The last time there was no taste, and the taste was sometimes described as “emptiness”, but this time the unique earthy scent, the scent like a Chinese medicine, and the faint bitterness spread in the mouth, In other words, it's bad. After a while, I felt that one tongue had a film, and as I continued to drink, I found that my tongue became numb and my senses became paralyzed. Numbness is like feeling anesthetized by a dentist.

The sense of 'taste' disappears because the tongue is paralyzed. The persimmon seed has no taste of wheat or soy sauce, and a slight stimulus of chili bites the tongue. Some people were embarrassed, saying, 'This is ... the one who makes life less fun ...'.

Of course, even if you lick the “special milk” candy, you will not feel any depth. It's just a round, solid mass.

What is interesting is that the reaction differs completely depending on who drinks. When a person who is strong in alcohol drinks, he said that `` the tongue is numb but there is no other physical change '', but if you do not drink much alcohol, `` It feels hot from around the chest The body becomes warm as if drinking alcohol ', and those who can not drink alcohol at all and have severe motor sickness may be the result of self-suggestion, but commented that' I have a headache ' Was. Some people say, 'I don't feel much physical change with alcohol, but drinking Kava has made me feel so much fun!' This editorial staff likes the taste of Chinese medicine and

root beer , and says that he does not dislike the taste of kava.

In addition, if you drink without doing it, it will be extremely dark, and just around a sip will heat around the sternum. If you're drinking while you're nervous, it is better to rub it firmly and dilute it.

And there is also an extract of kava.

The bottle is palm-sized. Each drink consumes 30 drops, making 30 cups per bottle.

As it is in the form of a dropper, pour 200 ml of water into a glass and add 30 drops of kava.

It looks a little turbid and looks almost the same.

When I drank it, there was a slight chemical smell as if the magic ink had been melted away from the powdered version of Kava. There is no bitterness like the powdered version, no numbness of the tongue, and almost no physical changes. It is easy to drink because it has less habit than Kava, and according to the official website, it has a “haste relaxing effect”, so it may be good to drink when you want to relax.
