Kawa Kawa and its stimulatory actions

Boiled tea of Kawa Kawa is known to be a potent aphrodisiac, enhancing endurance, libido and even discomfort due to aching muscles. This maybe a combination effect from the eugenol (upwards of 70% of the essential oil), perhaps piperine(sp?) components and even maybe something analogous to the kava lactones.

Kawa kawa is colloquially called New Zealand Kava.
