How effective is Kava Kava in treating anxiety and depression?

I was reading the information below that I found on the following website: http://www.gslsupplements.com And I was wondering how effective can this herb be in treating anxiety as well as depression. I thought that Kava Kava was only given for anxiety. I didn’t know people also take it for depression. Anyways, I just would like to know how well it works.
Thanks!

    Here’s the weasel words: It "***promotes relaxation*** to those suffering from anxiety or depression."

    So your would be depressed, but relaxed about it?

    It is a mild muscle relaxant and sedative, nothing more. Very useful, but not magical.
