  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Chaela what is this? Does it have Kava Kava ( the herb) in it?
Yes -- The way I do it I steep a bag of Kava tea in a cup of regular
coffee. Since acquiring a new job as a cashier (which is quite a feat if
one is both introverted and mildly dyscalculic (a.k.a. 'math dyslexia'),
the Kava has really helped curb the anxiety I was experiencing. It's
been a Godsend, and is now become a part of my daily routine! :)

Does Kava relax you? I heard it's good for insomniacs as well.

Because I have suffered with anxiety and insomnia for the last few weeks I need something that will help me. I have been getting sleep for the last maybe 2 weeks don't know how much but I'm looking into herbal remedies and I have heard Kava is very strong on both anxiety and insomnia.

Ok, I'm trying this today. And also my heart goes out to you, I have been a cashier with both those challenges. I hope you enjoy your work. The customers can be a blessing or a real challenge!
Thanks, Rebecca Sue. To the extent that I know what I'm doing,
I really do enjoy the job. I think part of it is also that I've been a
stay@home mom for so long, that just being back in the
workforce again is something of a jolt. :)

One thing to keep in mind with Kava is that it doesn't get
along with some medications, so if you're taking anything
either over the counter or prescription, be sure to double-
check and make sure they don't conflict. Also, alcohol
alongside Kava can be problematic (I've seen it recommended
waiting at least 24 hours in between if one wants to alternate
between the two).

It sure does!

Chamomile is another tea that's effective in soothing the nerves,
though I think its effects are a bit subtler than that of Kava.
Plus, it doesn't come with the warnings Kava does, lol!

I think Valerian is another tea that's good for relaxation, though
I haven't tried it yet.
