I'm not OP but I may be able to answer if OP doesn't. 'Awa (or Kava) has kava lactones that affect your central nervous system and basically calm you down. It is used in home treatments by people suffering from hyperactivity disorders or sleep disorders (it is said to make depression worse). Kava can be dangerous to the liver and is recommended that you do not consume it on a regular basis. Kava can impede your ability to function normally (if a substantial amount is consumed). You can pick up Kava at some supermarkets and health food stores as it is not off the market in the USA (under the assumption you are from the USA), although Kava or 'Awa is not able to be sold in Canada and some countries in Europe.
Kava has been linked to some deaths.
