]]> Comment on Q&A: Kava Kava?? St Johns Wort?? Which one is best for Anxiety relief? by heart o' gold http://www.sleepproblems.org/sleep-aids/qa-kava-kava-st-johns-wort-which-one-is-best-for-anxiety-relief/comment-page-1/#comment-2574 heart o' gold Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:38:33 +0000 http://www.sleepproblems.org/sleep-aids/qa-kava-kava-st-johns-wort-which-one-is-best-for-anxiety-relief/#comment-2574 I've used both, they both are definately very useful and I have experienced no ill effects from them. (For context, I am a healthy and health concious female adult with a good diet and fairly active life.) As with any drug or supplement, you want to beware of mixing remedies due to synergistic effects - 1+1 isn't always 2, it could be 3 or 4 or more depending on exactly how the drugs/supplements interact - expecially be aware and careful of alcohol and antidepressants mixed with other drugs/supplements. Having said that, I use Kava semi-regularly (perhaps as many as 12-20 times a year) for anxiety sometimes but mostly as a sleep aid. I find it very effective, be careful to not develope a habit with it and beware of mixing and taking too much, it's powerful - yet still subtle. St. John's Wort is also very effective, I have used it more for mood swings than anxiety, although it would probably be effective in that case as well. If I'm feeling very irritable, St. Johns Wort usually helps me to feel better. I don't know if it's still around, but there was a supplement called "Happy Camper" that I liked, but just drinking the tea was helpful for me as well. This effect seems even more subtle than the Kava. I have used both during days and evenings, but prefer to use the Kava at home only.

You may want to throw a bag of chammomile tea in there, too. Kava tastes like wood chips. Then sugar it and drink the tea, hot or cold. And don't drive. Man, I love Kava.
