The rules around kava sales in Australia are changing, and those who rely on the ancient drink for income are hoping it can find a mainstream market.

You can't just take a sip of kava; you have to drink the whole bowl down in one go and you can't have it when you're angry or it'll make you feel worse. That's the advice in Fiji.

But in Fiji, it's attracting a new crowd — the after-work corporate crew who want to unwind, and the Saturday night social scene that has found a way to hang out and listen to music without consuming alcohol. "Sometimes I have kava with my dad or uncles. Some of them come from work, stressed, I will sit with them, we communicate and enjoy each other's company," she said.

To enter some remote villages in Fiji, you have to seek permission from the chief and part of that is making an offering of kava.
