Heard Kava Kava is effective but there are some concerns on possible liver damage.

Curious if anyone has tried it and how it was worked, any side effects? concerns?
Thanks.
Tried it once at the county fair here in Hawaii. Made my tongue numb and it tastes like dirt. Pacific Islanders love it and drink it on a regular basis, but then they also chew betel nut for similar effects and it ruins their teeth. I don't know if it damages the liver because I don't plan on drinking it again. Maybe there is someone out there with a better experience, but I will stick to exercise and an occasional pill. Sorry to be so negative about it, but I have had much better experiences! Good luck!
