While Kava is promoted for sleep and anxiety, it has been linked to severe liver toxicity in several medical studies. Please do not start taking it without consulting a qualified medical practitioner first. Your safety should always be the priority.

I tried Kava tea once while traveling abroad to help with my jet lag. Personally, it made me feel a bit relaxed, but it also left a strange numbing sensation in my mouth which I didn't like. I prefer sticking to warm milk now.

Yes, it is known to promote relaxation, but due to potential side effects, it's safer to try chamomile tea or ashwagandha instead.

For busy professionals, poor sleep is usually due to screen time and late-night calls. Instead of looking for exotic herbs like Kava, just turning off your phone an hour before bed and keeping a fixed sleep schedule works beautifully and safely.
