Kava Kava is a herbal remedy for stress and anxiety. This can be purchased in any health food store. I never tried it, have you? Do you take other herbal remedies for stress or anxiety and if so what? Have you tried Magnesium or calcium?

I never tried it but I have tried Camomile for stress and that seemed to help a bit.

No and this is my first time heard about Kava Kava, but I think for anxiety and stress enough by taking salmon fish oil as it's already Omega-3 where its fatty acids may protect against the accumulation in the body of a protein believed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, anxiety and stress, and things related to heart. Anxiety and stress do effect and related to heart's performance. My opinion anyway.

I used to take Kava Kava and infused it in hot water and drink it as a tea before bed time and it worked wonders, until I found something much better that worked for me and does wonders. It's called Relax Now and is a blend of vitamins and herbs and since it is in a tablet form it's a lot easier and quicker to take than having to try to get hot water ready, infuse it for 20 minutes then add a little sweetner and rush to get back to work then get all stressed out again. LOL. If you are intrested in checking it out here is a link. http://www.shopherbalife.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?dsext=healthwerks&pid=46820&cid=120957&LocaleSelect=en_US&_requestid=2289315
