hi this is my first post and I'm new to kava so bare with me. I have suffered from both server anxitey and also chronic pain. I was due to the amount of pain I was in taking 60mg of oxycodone a day and was still not pain free desperate I trolled the net and came across cbd oil I was highly suspicious as to whether it was yet another snake oil and in the UK it's very expensive.
Any way I decided to give it a try and ordered a bottle, I took it and at first I felt no effects from it, as it cost me so much I carried on taking it daily after about 5 days I woke up and instead of waking up due to the pain, I just woke up naturally and had no pain what's so ever, I have continued with it and am now only on shirt release oxycodone for break through pain, it's helped my back pain. It has reduced my anxitey slightly but I have alot of anxitey but it has helped. I also drink hemp tea which is very relaxing when made right and helps me with regards insomnia.
I have recently also discovered kava and is absoultly amazing for helping my anxitey it's the only thing other than benzodiazepines which has helped significantly, I'm still experimenting with kava and it's given me hope.
I take cbd oil and hemp tea daily and have had no negative interaction with kava if anything the hemp and kava seem to compliment each other and add to lowering my anxitey. For me taking cbd oil and kava has been fine but everyone's bodies are different. I have read not everyone has the right receptors for the cbd (endocannibodial system) and in others we need it activating. Keep on with the cbd oil it's to expensive to waste it won't do you harm but may just need a bit longer to work.
Both cbd oil and kava have been godsend to me and have started to give me my life back nature's wonderful.
