Autor vypráví své zážitky z cesty na Vanuatské souostroví (Nové Hebridy), které je centrem pěstování rostliny kava-kava, jejíž preparáty začínají být velice populární i v západní civilizaci. Z keře kava-kava, patřícího do čeledi pepřovníkovitých rostlin, se připravuje v Oceánii speciální extrakt, užívaný nejčastěji jako nápoj při posvátných obřadech tichomořských domorodců. Kava-kava ovlivňuje mysl - podporuje mír, uklidnění, přátelskost, vnitřní vyrovnanost a navozuje hlubší prožívání vnějších podnětů. Proto je v Oceánii nezbytným činitelem pro fungování společnosti a západní svět dováží kava-kava jako přírodní lék na zmírňování úzkosti, depresí a podporu dobrého spánku. Kniha kombinuje etnobotanické výklady o psychoaktivních rostlinách s popisy zážitků autora z cesty do Tichomoří i s informacemi o využití kava-kava ve farmaceutickém průmyslu.
