Kava and Liver Issues: Elaborate?

[handjadensmith]

I'm actually not too familiar with the adverse effects. Can you elaborate? I have heard about Kava and Liver issues. What others are detremental? I had contemplated Valerian, because I heard it is also helpful with sleep.

Thanks for the response and to anyone else who has an opinion.

it's been a year and I've confused which possible side effects went with which herbs, but almost all of them had potential impact on the liver or kidneys. I'll see if I can get the more specific info again and get back to you.
