In the US our super market caries Yogu brand Kava "Stress Relief" tea. It smells awful but I've found it calming. The effect usually lasts about an hour or so. According to the label it contains 30 % kavalactones--23.4 mgs.
I don't combine it with, say, klonopin or a glass of wine, but if I have to facilitate a group or do something else horrible or am just generally freaking, it helps.
The capsules make me really jittery, but so does valerian and chamomile. Go figure.
