Kava is said to elevate mood, well being, and contentment, and produce a feeling of relaxation. Several studies have found that kava may be useful in the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, and related nervous disorders. Kava is a central nervous system depressant. Even though there is no alcohol in kava, it can produce similar symptoms to drunkenness, including difficulty with balance, and slurred speech.
The effects of kava on your body can depend on:
your body size
your general health
if you have taken kava before
the strength and amount taken
if you are taking other drugs at the same time.
Common effects include:
for small doses – relaxed muscles, sleepiness, feelings of wellbeing and relaxation, mild loss of feeling in the throat and mouth, appetite loss
for larger doses – dilated pupils, reddened eyes, nausea, drowsiness, reduced muscle control (ataxia).
 
The strength of a dose of kava also depends on how the drink is prepared and how much powdered kava is added to the water.
