Hi all,
I'm new here so my knowledge on all things kava is limited - sorry for the long post!
I have created this account as my partner (27f) is really struggling with fibromyalgia and having tried meds/vitamins/physio/chiro/pretty much everything else, we are still yet to find anything which helps.
Most of the symptoms she can deal with and they don't stop her living a happy life - however, she suffers from extreme muscle tension in her neck, shoulders and back. This is often very debilitating and is, without wanting to sound too dramatic, starting to ruin the life she once lived.
Which brings me here - I am often researching potential ways to help ease the extreme stiffness and tension in her muscles and I have stumbled across Kava. I have read that it can help ease muscle tension without too many negative side effects.
I was wondering if anyone on here had any experience in treating/managing fibromyalgia (or extreme muscle tension in general) with Kava and if so, whether they could offer any advice on what to try/buy/dosage to relax her muscles whilst hopefully avoiding too much cognitive sedation?
Ive read that Kalm with Kava are a safe bet and that specifically the 'Vanuatu Kava Root - Premium Borongoru' is great for muscle tension?
Any advice is really appreciated here both by myself and my partner.
Thanks all!
