The herb that I chose to explore in this write up is Kava. The information about the herb can be found on the NCCAM website (now NCCIH), with the specific link being this: https://nccih.nih.gov/health/kava. After opening the NCCAM website on the home page, there is a syndicated tab entitled “Herbs at a Glance to the left of the home page. Clicking on it redirects the user to an alphabetical list of common herbs and botanicals, one of which is kava.

I chose to explore this particular herb because I have heard and read about it before, but I did not have detailed information.
