Kava kava? or other herbs?

Question

I just recently learned of a new herb called kava. Couple people told me that it would relax me. So i went to a herb store and found it in liquid capsule form. Took one and about an hour later i was still feeling nothing. Then bout 30 mins later my head just hurt a little and i didn't feel good. Anyone know if kava really does work? or have any similar stories or alternative herbs that work?

Answer 1

i was thinking that it's not as good as people say. do what people have been doing for hundreds of years.... drink a couple beers.

"oh beer causes liver damage, oh wait kava kava does too, worst. "

Answer 2

WEED

Answer 3

I use kava in liquid drops form and I do get some relaxation from it but it's pretty subtle and lasts a short time. With most herbs, the effect will build up over time and may take a week or more before you see a difference. Unfortunately, with kava  you don't want to take it for a long time. Everything I've read says you should never take kava for more than 30 days and the store where I buy it has large warnings posted on the shelf. The FDA has issued a warning about possible liver damage.  

Answer 4

kava tea relieves stress and should calm you down.. it helps me sleep so i would try it.. Any local organic food store should sell it.
