GABAKAVA KAVA is another agent that may affect GABA but in a different way to benzodiazepine drugs.
Studies in animals have shown that the kavalactones do not bind to benzodiazepine or GABA receptors. Instead, the kavalactones are thought to somehow modify the area near the receptor site in a way that enhances GABA binding. However, there are other explanations.
For example, studies have indicated that the kavalactones appear to act primarily on the limbic system, the primitive part of the brain that affects all other brain activities and is the principal seat of the emotions and of instinct). It is thought that kava may promote its anxiety-relieving and mood-elevating effects by altering the way in which the limbic system influences emotional processes. Kava kava is truly a unique anti anxiety agentPicamilone also apparently raises GABA levels.
