Kava Stress Relief by Yogi Tea
Has anyone ever tried this? I've only had maybe 4 sips & I'm already feeling lightheaded, almost drunk.
Here are the ingredients:
Carob Pod, Indian Sarsaparilla Root, Organic Cinnamon Bark, Organic Ginger Root, Barley Malt, Kava Root Extract (Kavalactones 30%), Organic Cardamom Seed, Natural Hazlenut Flavor, Stevia Leaf, Natural Licorice Flavor, Natural Cinnamon Oil.
It says:
Not for use by persons under 18 or by any pregnant or breastfeeding women. I am breastfeeding Ds who is 17 months old - I'd say 90% of his nourishment comes from breastmilk (he's not a big eater.)
I think I'm going to dump the rest of it, I feel really drugged, my eyelids feel heavy & I feel *erally* out of it, I don't think I'd feel comfortable even driving anywhere and I haven't even had half of a glass!

Answers:
Kava functions as a muscle relaxant and that tea knocks me out. I think you're smart to dump it and heed the breastfeeding warning.

Answers:
OMG! I felt SO awful after I posted this - seriously, I felt like I was drugged, my eyelids were heavy, I felt nauseous, my muscles felt tense - even the smell of the tea made me nauseous after the affect kicked in.
Sheesh, it's just a tea, who'd have thought it was this strong - & I only drank 1/4 of a cup!

Answers:
I love the stuff, helps my anxiety, but no, would not touch it while BFing or PG
