I used Kava tea for the first time the day before yesterday and was pretty relaxed only after one cup and 1 tea bag. That was all I used then yesterday I decided to have three cups, one tea bag each cup but spaced out throughout the day. I was extemely relaxed but by the end of the day my right foot, and both hands began to go to sleep (slightly numb) this lasted a few hours.. very annoying. I won't be drinking it anymore. Some people like the numb feeling I guess but for me... No thanks! I'd rather be anxious.
