Hi.

I've always used herbal products and what I have to say is this: when it comes to medication, kawa kawa might work on individuals who aren't really chemically challenged. It goes for what on normal people would be like simple day-long sadness or lack of energy.

It's like, if I'm depressed and take amphetamines, they'd surely get me up and running, but the depression would be there cause it's different proteins and hormones being worked on in the brain cells...

Does that make sense?

So it's not that these herbs are bad, cause they aren't and the very opposite is true. It's just that maybe they're even as strong as the designer drugs we're prescribed by our doctors then ultimately you'd be mixing substances - sort of like drinking alcohol and smoking weed.
