Kava Curious
I've always wanted to try herbs mate, but I haven't been able to try it.because I dont know how Mateine effects blood sugar.i dont drink caffeine mainly because moderate amounts spike blood sugar.and i havent been able to find out if mateine does the same.if you know please let me kno id love to try it.also one of my favorite herbs is kanna but i havent gotten a hold of any since ive been working woth kava and if anyone knows a reason why i shouldnt combine them otherwise im combining them as soon as i get the chance.kannas a strange but wonderful herb just as kava is, i highly recomend everyone research it thoroughly then give it a go.wOTE="TheanineLife, post: 83594, member: 2420"]Yerba Mate - An amazing synergy.

Mateine doesn't exist.
Scientific extraction has proved caffeine to be in high quantity in Yerba Mate.
To assume the caffeine in Mate has any similarity to coffee, tea, or caffeine extract is just that. An assumption.
Due to everybody's experience with Mate it's safe to say our understanding of biochemical reactions with Mate is not understood, in any sense, at all.
Mate shits on the assumption and anyone to judge Mate by the fact it holds caffeine should be deemed ignorant, and regarded as having no experience with Mate.
I drink large amount of Mate everyday. Today I drank 100 grams of mate leaves. Yes 100 grams. 37 heaping teaspoons. The caffeine content equivalent to over 10 cups of coffee.
Yet I never crash, and am always smooth sailing.
No jitters.
Am more relaxed than tea's effect.
No tolerance or very minimal.
If I drink coffee I am zoomed and have 0 tolerance.
I can drink Mate and sleep.
Mate heals the body
Mate heals the mind
Mate heals my eczema better than chemical creams. Mate heals migraines.
Mate is not a rocket of stimulation like caffeine.
Mate is medicine.

But does it cure cancer?
There is a cancer correlation, but no direct evidence, with Mate. This is not completely understood, but in the southern countries they drink at very hot temperatures, which is cancer causing, and lots of them smoke tobacco and drink lots of alcohol.But does it cure cancer?
Cell studies have shown Mate to destroy cancer cells.
The PAHs in Mate due to smoke drying are carcinogenic but not something to worry about. The paranoid can buy unsmoked Yerba

Agreed .. I don't know what it would do to blood sugar.. I know green tea lowers blood sugar. Matcha mainly ... and so does coffee. Black tea has beneficial effects on blood sugar balance as well..

Ive been drinking mate for almost two weeks now and I gotta say its pretty awesome. Thanks for the tip man. I had given up on caffeine completely before discovering mate.and I get the difference in the caffeine now its like comparing the nicotine in standard american tobacco with the nicotine in mapacho (Brazilian tobacco).

Im not sure what the rules on talking about mary j are but I would highly recommend combining it with kava especially with rosin which is a fairly new type of concentrate thats made from pressing buds with a hot hair straight ner or press.also other cleanly made concentrates. But rosin is a whole different thing its very gentle powerful healing and in a way very spiritual and in my opinion very different than other types of mary j, I had also given up on that for a few years until my friend suggested it.just like with all herbs ur intention and the setting is key and determines ur experience.also kanna is an amazing herb and I suggest everyone look into it at some point, although I haven't yet tried it with kava ive heard its amazing.I have tried it with mary j and its takes both of them to an entirely different level.

I've heard kava and passion flower double the effects of each other and work very well together.I just picked up some passion flower but haven't had the time to make kava (I use root chips).ill be posting my experience soon but until then I'd like to hear everyone's experience s with the combo and or passion flower on its own.

I'm interested in things
Why should the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mate not be worried about? Are they at a very low level or something?
Yeah. They are low. Less than smoked meat I believe.
I've never read anything about birth defects being higher in Argentina.
