hi . I was searching for herbal remedies for nerve pain and came across this forum when searching for kava because I saw it mentioned for neuropathy . My husband has severe chronic neuropathy and that’s the main thing I am interested in kava for . I want to know if it has a chance of helping. A lot of herbal remedies he’s tried have not helped bacause they work on inflammation and his pain is not due to inflammation . He had a back injury that left him with permanent nerve damage and now he has burning stabbing nerve pain in his right foot . We’ve been to drs and they said the nerve damage is permanent and just the way it is . He doesn’t take any rx meds for this only otc ibuprofen and acetaminophen along with Magnolia root, cbd , turmeric and cinnamon . He still gets terrible flare ups and so I’m looking into kava.
Also I read the FAQs and I’m a little confused on methods . It says that it doesn’t need soaked in hot water cold is better yet a lot of the recipes show hot water being used . I have a vitamix blender and wonder if I can just use that and then strain and skip the kneading. My blender goes very fast . I have a small strainer made for kefir and other such things but not sure if it’s fine enough . It’s pretty fine mesh . What’s the simplest blender method you’d suggest ? Can I make a lot and keep it ahead in the fridge or does it need made daily ? Thanks
