 -=> Quoting Kali to All <=-
 Ka> Does anyone know about the affects of Kava Kava?
To quote Scott Cunningham, "this polynesian plant's root is infused and the 
resulting tea is drunk to offer protection against evil and to invite in
good luck.  Infused and left to steep overnight in the refrigerator, it is
then drunk to enhance psychic powers and to induce visions.  Too much of the 
infusion, however is damaging to the kidneys"
It was sacred to the deities, Lono, Kane, and Kanaloa.
It's element is Water, the planet that rules it is Saturn, it's influences
are Feminine, and it was also called Ava, Ava pepper, Ava root, awa root,
intoxicating pepper.
Hope this helps.
... History is a lame excuse for the stupid things men do.
