Kava: Is It Safe?

The South Pacific herb, Kava Kava, is a best-seller — ranking ninth in retail U.S. sales in mainstream markets in 2000 — based on its proven ability to relieve stress, anxiety and tension. Recently kava has come under the scrutiny of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is acting on reports from Europe that kava may damage the liver. The agency noted that German and Swiss health authorities have identified approximately 30 cases of sometimes-serious liver toxicity, including four cases requiring transplantation, and one death, that are believed to be associated with kava consumption. Based on these reports, the U.K. has banned sales of kava products and German authorities have notified manufacturers of kava products that their licenses to market the herb could be withdrawn.

The Evidence So Far
Closer examination of the scant details available on the 30 European cases reveals that the vast majority, 21 cases in all, involved the concomitant use of hepatotoxic drugs and/or alcohol. This is not significant evidence of hepatotoxicity, according to Hyla Cass, MD, respected psychiatrist, pioneer in integrative medicine and author of Kava: Nature's Answer To Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia.      View Article
