    The worst herbal. Making you drowsiness and is not suitable for young people. They can get into a car accident. This herb should be banned. I made my son go to the emergency room.

    I have severe anxiety and have tried many many meds including benzos.I find benzos are short acting and very difficult to obtain from your Dr. I found this online.Kava has been wonderful for me.I hope they do not ban it.

    A safe alternative to alcohol and benzodiazepines. It works the same way as them on GABA A Receptors. The difference is that there are no side effects or any addictive properties. Works great for anxiety.
