Remedies for Restlessness

Kava is a culturally significant plant from the Pacific Islands, where it has been used for centuries in social and ceremonial rituals to promote relaxation and goodwill. It induces a state of calm and sociability without the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Its primary use is for anxiety relief.

Used since at least ancient Greece and Rome, Valerian was prescribed by Hippocrates and Galen as a remedy for insomnia. Its name is derived from the Latin word 'valere,' meaning 'to be strong' or 'to be healthy.' During World War II, it was used in England to relieve stress from air raids.
