Kava Curious
Hello,
While great for anxiety, I've always personally struggled trying to sleep within hours of drinking Kava while for some it seems to be a blessing. Call me stubborn, but I refuse to chalk it up to body chemistry and give up so I am trying an analytical approach. The 4 most commonly used Kavas for myself I have looked up the chemotypes for below-
Kava Supreme-245613
KWK Borongoru-241356
KWK Vula Waka- 462351
KWK MeloMelo-421635
Knowing chemotypes of "2" and "5" are supposed to be most sedating, I've basically been aiming for that. One thing has stood out to me though- In those four kavas listed above, all have the "4" in either the first or second place of the chemotype. According to the following-http://www.kavalibrary.com/Chemotypes.html
#4 is Kavain which is known to produce more headier and euphoric effects. Therefore, I am starting to realize that perhaps its the Kavain that is maybe messing with dopamine too much and keeping me awake..
Tell me, am I on to something or not?? Thoughts?
Does anyone recommend a Kava low on Kavain?
