kava
Kava kava has been used for centuries by the inhabitants of the South Pacific with no ill effects and over the last ten years Kava kava has become one of the top selling herbal supplements worldwide. Recently a few concerns have been reported that Kava kava may have caused some liver problems.
To put this in perspective, hundreds of thousands of men and women use Kava kava regularly but there have been just 4 reported cases of liver problems where kava may have been the cause, but it is equally likely, that another product, alcohol, or medicine could have caused the problem.
As far as Kava kava is concerned, to quote the Medicines Control Agency (M.C.A.) which was responsible for reviewing kava: “No case has been identified with a causality classification of certain.” (20th December 2002).
