  schema:description "Kava is a Pacific root drink taken to ease anxiety and sleep. Some trials found a short-term effect on anxiety and others did not, and kava has caused liver injury, including liver failure needing a transplant. Several governments have withdrawn or warned against it, and it adds to sedatives and should be stopped before surgery."@en ;
