It can if you take enough, but just one capsule generally works wonders for taking the edge off of anxiety without making you feel like you've taken anything.

Pokeshrimp Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sounds like what i used to take melatonin for. But after spending a week in the hospital after taking some supplements (i used to lift weights religiously) i try to avoid taking anything if possible. I think the only thing I've used in the last two years since then is tums. But thats why i like tea so much, you can drink green tea throughout the day and not deal with caffeine overload/ crash. When i was working as an avionics technician in and out of the airforce i was drinking two, sometimes three energy drinks a day. Eventually i had to take sleeping supplements just to be able to fall asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just bought some kava kava to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Ahhh... another relaxer... kick back by the fire with a cup of kava kava, listen to some good music, and watch the snow outside... I like it! Shall we let you know when the weekend is over so you don't sit there thru Monday? Because I'm certain that your family will be quiet as mice while you relax Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 You forgot the gentle bubble of the sponge filter as you peer into your shrimp tanks. A little early for snow yet, but should be pretty soon for chicagoland, I imagine. Wygglz and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Just bought some kava kava to try. Just remember kava reacts different to every person. Some drink just a little to get that relaxed buzz and others need more. It will work faster on an empty stomach. Fijians claim that if you want to get rid of kava from your system, sweat it out by working out or in Fiji working outside in the heat and humidity. If you think you like it I can give a website of a place in Oregon that sells real Fijian kava with no fillers. Got to watch out for the cheap filler crap. Let us know what you think of the taste? Or did you get it in capsule or pill form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 tea bag. waiting for it to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 tea bag. waiting for it to come in. Tea bags are ok, you might want to soak a little longer. Heat will break down Kavalactone and weaken its effectiveness. That is why you use cold water when preparing kava the traditional method.

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Jadenlea, there is a plant called the chocolate mint plant. No real chocolate involved. I'm wondering if that is what your tea is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaydoubleyou Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Jadenlea, there is a plant called the chocolate mint plant. No real chocolate involved. I'm wondering if that is what your tea is? This grows like weeds in my garden. Smells amazing like After Eights, tastes nice too but not chocolaty. Its a spearmint variety, good for the stomach. My daughter loves using it for a herbal tea.Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does it stop plaque or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 It is antimicrobial so it helps to kiĺl the bacteria in your mouth. It actually will also stop itching if applied topically... so many uses! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaydoubleyou Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Wonder how this would effect canker sores? I get them all the time even after switching toothpaste and nothing helps the pain. Too bad I didn't save some before the frost!
