I ngā tau tata nei, kua piki haere te rongonui o te tangohanga kava nā te mea he pai pea mō te whakaiti i te ahotea me te manukanuka. Ināianei, kua whakaatuhia e tētahi rangahau hou mō te tangohanga kava ngā hua whai hua ka taea te ārahi ki te whakawhanake i ngā maimoatanga whai hua ake mō ēnei āhuatanga. Nā tētahi rōpū kaipūtaiao mai i ngā whare wānanga me ngā umanga maha o te ao i whakahaere te rangahau.

I arotahi te rangahau ki ngā pānga o te tangohanga kava ki te neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), he mea nui ki te whakahaere i te wairua, te manukanuka, me ngā taumata ahotea i roto i te roro. I kitea e ngā kairangahau he nui ake te whakanui ake o te tangohanga kava i te mahi GABA me te whakaiti i ngā whanonga manukanuka i roto i ngā kararehe taiwhanga.

E whakaatu ana ēnei kitenga he pai pea te tangohanga kava hei rongoā rerekē mō te hunga e pāngia ana e te ahotea me ngā mate manukanuka. "E whakaatu ana ā mātou hua ka taea e te tangohanga kava te whakarerekē i te mahi GABA i roto i te roro, ka heke ai te manukanuka me te whakapai ake i te manawanui ki te ahotea," te kī a Tākuta Susan Lee, te kairangahau matua o te rangahau.

I ahu mai te tangohanga kava i te pakiaka o te tipu kava, he tipu taketake nō ngā Moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ā, kua whakamahia mō ngā rautau i roto i ngā karakia tuku iho hei whakatairanga i te whakangā me te hononga pāpori. I ngā tau tata nei, kua piki haere te rongonui i ngā whenua o te Hauāuru hei tāpiringa taiao mō te whakahaere i te ahotea me te manukanuka.

Ahakoa tōna rongonui haere, he nui tonu ngā mea hei ako mō ngā painga me ngā mōrearea pea o te tangohanga kava. E whakanui ana ngā kairangahau me whai atu ngā whakamātautau haumanu hei whakatau i te haumaru me te whai huatanga o te tangohanga kava mō te rongoā i ngā mate ahotea me te manukanuka i roto i te tangata.

Hei whakamutunga, mā tēnei rangahau hou ka kitea ngā painga pea o te tango kava hei whakaora i te ahotea me te manukanuka. I a tātou e tūhura tonu ana i ngā āhuatanga rongoā o ngā matū taiao pērā i te tango kava, tera pea ka whakawhanakehia e tātou he maimoatanga whai hua ake, he ngāwari ake hoki mō ēnei mate ngoikore.
