卡瓦与肝损害有关

Kava has been used in ceremonies and for recreational and social purposes in the South Pacific since ancient times, much like alcohol, tea or coffee is in other societies today.自古以来，卡瓦酒就已用于南太平洋的仪式以及娱乐和社交目的，就像今天的其他社会中的酒，茶或咖啡一样。 In the 1980s other medicinal uses for kava began to emerge and it was marketed in herbal form as a natural way to treat conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, tension and restlessness, particularly in Europe and North America.在XNUMX年代，卡瓦的其他药用用途开始出现，并以草药形式作为治疗焦虑，失眠，紧张和躁动等病症的天然方法进行销售，尤其是在欧洲和北美。 More recently, evidence began to emerge about the adverse affect kava could have on the liver.最近，有关卡瓦对肝脏的不利影响的证据开始出现。 Studies have found that following kavain treatment the liver tissue displayed an overall change in structure, including the narrowing of blood vessels, the constriction of blood vessel passages and the retraction of the cellular lining.研究发现，卡瓦因治疗后，肝脏组织显示出整体结构变化，包括血管变窄，血管通道收缩和细胞内膜收缩。 Interestingly, kavain also adversely affected certain cells which function in the destruction of foreign antigens (such as bacteria and viruses), which make up part of the body's immune system.有趣的是，卡瓦因还对某些细胞产生不利影响，这些细胞在破坏构成人体免疫系统一部分的外来抗原（例如细菌和病毒）中起作用。
