Kava ban

The Kava ban refers to the restriction or prohibition of kava, a plant native to the Pacific Islands used traditionally for its calming effects. Governments and health agencies imposed these bans due to concerns about liver toxicity associated with non-traditional or contaminated kava products. While kava is valued for its relaxing properties, safety issues led to regulatory actions in certain countries, limiting or banning its sale and use. These measures aim to protect public health, even though kava remains popular in other regions where it continues to be used responsibly.
