I was wondering if it was the same stuff I tried at a festival years ago, but that turned out to be "Khat". Some note about Kava from a herb website I just found...."With its tonic, strengthening, and mildly analgesic properties, kava kava is a good remedy for chronic pain, helping to reduce sensitivity and to relax muscles that are tensed in response to pain. It has an antiseptic action and in the past it was used specifically to treat venereal disease, especially gonorrhea. Absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is remarkably rapid, so the effects are felt almost immediately. It is used as an intoxicating beverage in certain South Sea islands. It can induce lethargy, drowsiness and dreams. It is one of the best pain-relieving herbs." Good stuff, huh? Trader Woody
