I recently was having this same problem after over a year of kava. I took a break from the kava for about three weeks and started using horny goat weed, maca root and ashwagandha. This combo works good. However, last night, as things seemed to be back to normal, I decided to try some Pouni Ono. I never really liked the headier strains, but as was mentioned in these forums elsewhere, it seems that maybe the heavier strains are the ones to cause more of a problem. So I decided to give this another try. I liked it, all was good, but today I woke up with hives, and red swollen face. I never had this reaction before, I'm hoping it was because of these other supplements. I really worried, seems I can't win. I love Kava because it helped me give up alcohol. Whenever I do have a drink now, I don't enjoy it like I used to, I rather stick to kava. But I can't be having low libido, that is out for me. Now it seems I can't take these suppliments or maybe I am allergic to the headier strains? I remember trying Moi awhile back, and although the reaction wasn't this strong, my face did get a little flush and red the next day. Today, I look ridiculous, a little oompa loompa-ish. I hope this clears up soon... and I'm worried I won't be able to strike the right balance with Kava...Any feedback or words of wisdom would be appreciated.
