The roots of the 'Awa plant are used in traditional Hawaiian medicine and are known for their relaxing qualities. The roots of the plant are harvested after a minimum of 6 six years of growth and ground into a powder, which is then strained into a natural elixir. This drink is known to elevate mood, well being, and produce a feeling of relaxation.
