Follow-Up: Carla, My husband checked into "Kava" for me today and uses are for muscle cramps, insomnia, and is a mild diuretic. It is not recommended for long term use, i.e. "occasional use only" as long term use can cause liver damage. Just FYI, not meaning to burst your bubble!!! :) :) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sweet Dreams, Becky
