Bacopa for kava stimulation

[Zac Imiola (Herbalist)]

Bacopa tincture is an amazing tool for when kava is too stimulating for someone...
I've been using it to take the edge off since I've been having more adrenal issues and it is a miracle cure for kava induced agitation / stimulation !

Did you make the tincture yourself? This is the first I'm hearing of it but I'm always interested in ayurvedic herbs.

I got it from herbpharm.. which is the only "commercial" herb company I trust hts in stores

I can see this working great because ive tried it with yerba mate and coffee overstimulation. I really want to try bacopa cold pressed oil

 

[Zac Imiola (Herbalist)]

It worked good for those 2 as well?

Makes sense bacopa is a neuro transmitter adaptogen ... it regulates the neuro transmitters to achieve homeostasis

 

[ThePiper]

Yes I believe it caps off the excess DA that is supplied by stimulants

I am stil curious as to why my stimulation from kava has spread it's wings to include even nene

 

[AvaCat]

Are you using this for kavas residual stimulant effects? I get rebound effects after kava wears off which include increased heart rate making it hard to sleep. Would this help with that?

Mrbinx, I notice basically the opposite over time. I have heard of a few others who have your experience though. I'm curious if you personally get a tolerance to kava long term? I do get one to an extent so I'm wondering maybe if you only have reverse tolerance and not regular then maybe that's why your getting more edgey over time

I'm still really new to Kava...about a month or so since first starting. I've had the agitation/stimulation problem as well. I thought it was maybe because I'm new and haven't been consuming it for a long period of time yet. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's heady or heavy...I still seem to get agitated easily after consuming. I was actually hoping for the opposite when I decided to go the Kava route over alcohol and/or anxiety meds. I plan to keep going with Kava, and will try different vendors and types as to hopefully find the perfect mix for my needs. Glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem.
