I have taken frequently taken kava since the mid-1990s. I also get semi-annual physicals that include liver function tests. Every test has shown excellent numbers for liver health. As other reviewers have written, kava root is safe. The harm can come from unscrupulous merchants who cut costs by including stems and roots, which can cause liver damage.

I purchase organic kava from a Hawaiian company (Kona Kava Farm) that I trust. I love this herb.

I have neuro condition known as essential tremor and I found that Kava combined with a prescription med helps reduce the tremor in my hands. Otherwise, I cannot write. Not interested in taking other meds prescribed for ET because of the VERY significant side effects they are known to have. Any med or supplement can be overdosed, but I have had no bad experience with kava taken at 75-150 mg/day.

The reason countries are banning this is becuase of large pharmecutical companies fighting against it. If people with anxiety find out how good this is there will be no need for anxiety sedatives!!!!!

Currently taking Kava Kava Plus (with St Johns Wort) for anxiety and depression. Effects are short-lived (five hours or so) but the tincture definitely makes a difference in my mental and physical well-being. I go from being tense and sick-feeling to relaxed and almost completely normal.
