Kava Kava For TMJ and Teeth Grinding

Kava Kava for TMJ update: It actually works!

Just a short post today folks, but we wanted to let everybody know that Kava Kava really worked for my TMJ! It had been getting pretty bad there for a while, I would wake up and my jaw would hurt from grinding my teeth all night or clenching my muscles. (I must have been having stressfull dreams) We picked up some Kava from a local pharmacy and I have been taking it for the past week. Lo and Behold it actually works!

This stuff is great! It’s non addictive, has no known negative side effects when taken in proper dosages (and even when taken in large dosages the negative side effects aren’t really for sure related to the Kava root). If you put it in a drink and chugg it like the natives did then you might get a little inebriated, but taking it in pill form is very hard to overdose. And it’s all natural so it’s much better for you than Valume or any of the other drugs that are muscle relaxants.

I just follow the recommended dosages on the back of the bottle. I take it throughout the day and it relieves a ton of stress. Then I take a double dose at bed to help me sleep and I wake up feeling relaxed and loose.

I’m going to be scaling back on how much I take once I get this darned tightness to go away, but I’m thoroughly impressed with this herb and very happy it is relieving my TMJ symptoms!
