After over 3000 years, GRAS designation for ‘Awa Kava in Hawaii

For over three millennia, the people of the Pacific Islands have revered a plant known as 'awa (kava). Used in ceremonies and rituals, kava has been a source of relaxation and social bonding for countless generations. Now, 3,000 years later, the Hawaiian Department of Health has officially recognized kava as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), marking a significant milestone for this ancient plant and its potential impact on the modern wellness industry.

A Plant with Deep Roots

Kava's history is intertwined with the cultural fabric of the Pacific Islands. For centuries, it has been consumed in traditional ceremonies and social gatherings, fostering a sense of community and relaxation. The roots of the kava plant are pounded or ground into a beverage known for its calming effects.
Today, kava is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as people worldwide seek natural alternatives for promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Its long history of use and growing body of scientific evidence make it an appealing option for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness.

The Science of 'Awa (Kava)

The GRAS designation for 'awa by the Hawaiian Department of Health is a significant step towards broader acceptance and understanding of this ancient plant. GRAS status indicates that a substance is generally considered safe for its intended use, based on a review of scientific data and expert consensus.
It's important to note that not all kava products are created equal. Choosing high-quality kava from reputable sources is crucial. Look for products that are lab-tested for purity and potency and sourced from sustainable and ethical practices.
