Hey there! Many people use kava to treat anxiety, but dosage and variety is often a personal choice. Some kavas very high in kavain can give drinkers an antsy feeling. You should look for something relatively balanced. Because your kava drinking will be an attempt to treat a condition, more than to provide intoxication, a well balanced noble kava would likely treat you well. Start with one or two strong servings, made by kneading and squeezing with a ratio of 1 part kava to 3-4 parts water. Adjust dosage from there.Hi there,
I have two questions.
1. what Kava product/dosage would you recommend for moderate/severe GAD and panic disorder?
2. Where abouts should I get this from. I live in the UK?
Many thanks people
Love
yes, what He said. Much Love. Roaddog....Welcome aboard! I think kava dose is a highly personal thing you will have to experiment with on your own in order to determine what works best. We have people with anxiety who use as little as a couple tablespoons twice a week, others find that more daily is necessary. The best thing to do is obtain some high quality kava and get to work. To that end, Global Kava Exports (http://globalkavaexports.com) ships good kava from within the UK. We also have several vendors in the US who will ship to you, but you may have to wait a few weeks to get it.
Or what he said too. Shit Judd, didn't know you shipped out world wide.Hey there! Many people use kava to treat anxiety, but dosage and variety is often a personal choice.

We at Bula Kava House ship to the UK. Shipping up to 1 kg. will cost you $24. We use USPS Priority International shipping, which usually gets your kava to you within 10 days.
As kavadude said, GKE does ship from within the UK, so that is definitely an option. They have a good reputation.
If you decide on BKH kava, I recommend Melo Melo. It's well balanced, and the newest batch we are selling is pretty mild in taste.
In any case, good luck. Kava is a pretty special plant that has done a lot for many people.
Hi, I know this was from two years ago but GKE is shutting down . Did you experience any customs fees or anything like that when ordering? ThanksHiya!! I've started using kava for anxiety as well. I have been buying kava from Global Kava Exports and I have also bought from Gourmet Hawaiian Kava.
Shipping from GKE is fab, you get your order the very next day.
My last order from GHK took 10 days to get from Hawaii to Scotland, thats not too bad I thought. Im currently waiting on another order.
I'm using instant just now. Ive found the Quick Kava from GKE to be good for chilling out/helps with anxiety and sleep. Quite a sedative kava.
Mo'i instant from GHK is more a daytime uplifting kava that can relax you too.
The order Im currently waiting on is micronized and a different strain (makahea) so will see how I get on with this!
I think it's more to do with the package value. BKH labels it as something similar but I used to get customs charges with every package. Hasn't happened recently from them. I'll be shipping via stackry.com in the future anyway.Hi, I've seen kalm with kava don't attract customs as they label their packages as tea (which isn't wrong I suppose)
Yeah, I want to order a pound but I'm not sure if it'll get checked or notI think it's more to do with the package value.
