Is Kava Safe for Children?

This is a question we’ve been asked more times than we have Kava plants. Is Kava safe for children? Instead of offering an opinion, let me first offer a few statistics. Kava has been prescribed safely to kids in Europe for decades. Families throughout Oceania allow their children to consume Kava. Kava affects children and teens the same way it affects adults. There have been no long-term effects reported in children who consume Kava. In Germany Kava is often prescribed instead of Prozac to children. This isn’t to say that we advocate starting to give Kava to your kids. As with everything we share here, it’s best to get an informed doctor’s opinion regarding Kava. Anyone can ask any doctor about Kava, but not every doctor is familiar with Kava beyond a few paragraphs they read in a medical journal or on WebMD. But to get to the heart of the matter, I asked friends who allow their children to safely consume Kava, as well as the kids themselves.
