Question by Bob K: Does kava kava really help with nervousness and anxiety?
Best answer:
Answer by BaseVinyl
My girlfriend has been taking Kava for about 2 years now because of anxiety, nervousness and other conditions that used to be treated with regular presricption drugs. She will have a cup of kava drink once and a while to “take the edge off” and it seems to work for her.
I used to take some prescrition drugs on a doctors advice for my anxiety and depression but didn’t want to continue with them because of side effects. I decided to try the kava last year and found it good at lowering my anxiety levels. I’ve tried the pure capsules of kava as well but like having the kava drink mixed from the pure powder.
I wouldn’t try any of the over the counter supplements that have small amounts of kava mixed with other things, just stick to the pure root powder.
I now take kava every day and find that I am more relaxed. I ised to drink beer a lot but have stopped because kava doesn’t mix with alcohol. Also kava is a bit intoxicating so don’t drive while taking it.
The best thing is to just experiment with some kava and see how you react. The taste is aweful at first if you take the root powder and make the drink but you get used to it after a while!
I hope this helps!!
