Hi Invisible J.
I had excellent results with Kava Kava back in the mid-90. I was ordering it directly from Hawaii and it was supposed to be the best stuff available. I was doing psychotherapy at a woman's shelter back in those days and we were always looking for sleep aid's for the women. (And I was always looking for one for myself). Turns out that after about a month I had a few problems with my eyes. Some photophobia, and tearing and overall hypersensitivity. Also, they would appear bloodshot. Could be just a coincidence, but I had read that some people do have eye trouble when on it. Just thought that I would mention it. Regards.
Interesting... thanks for sharing your experience.
