DOSAGES & DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Kanna responds to priming. Dosing regularly, or daily, will help amplify the effects. Many users claim in order to feel the full effects priming is necessary.


WHAT IS PRIMING?


Priming is the method of continually taking a substance over a number of days to get (better) effects from it. This means that the active ingredients in the Kanna that give it its unique qualities can be absorbed into the system over a period of time.

DOSAGES


ORAL INGESTION 


The Kanna plant matter can be eaten or made into a tea which reportedly tastes somewhat like strong green tea. Sweetener of choice can be added.

Dosage amount for tea:


Mild        1 - 2 teaspoonfuls per 250 ml boiling water
Strong    2 - 3 tablespoons per 250 ml boiling water

Allow the tea to ‘draw’ for 8 to 10 minutes before drinking. Sweeten to taste.

 

 

 

Some users put kanna under their tongue, or stick some powder in a piece of gum and chew on it.

 

Dosage amount for sublingual use:


Mild        A good pinch
Strong   2 -3 pinches

Duration: It can take as long as 90 minutes to come up, but the experience can then last for 4-5 hours.

 

Please note the specific effects of oral use: 

Narcotic sedative and analgesic properties  are more pronounced, especially at higher doses.

 

CAPSULES:
Take 1 - 2 caps daily or as needed throughout the day with or without food.

TINCTURES

 

A liquid supplement is easier to take than swallowing a pill. More importantly, there is no hard outer shell for the digestive system to break down.  

A liquid is easier to take, faster to be absorbed and can be added to your favourite tea, juice or water as well. 

 

Take 10 drops as needed in a little water, tea or juice.
