    Just Say No to Kava in a Bottle!

    Earlier this week we ran out of Kava so my husband got some Kava Tincture, it was supposed to be really good stuff. Except for the 55% Grain alcohol which threw me off. Obviously I cant use something soaked in alcohol to battle alcohol addiction :yuck:. Let me tell you what has transpired for...

    Is Kava Tincture safe?

    My husband bought a Kava tincture at the Health food store, it says it is high quality lateral root extract. Is this safe? It is of course extracted with alcohol, will that hurt him?

    Your perfect combo?

    Recently my husband decided to order a few different strains of Kava and so we have in our freezer Fiji Waka, Tongan and Vanuatu 3. He likes to combine kavas for varied effects.

    Vendors you favorite

    I like KBR because it is in my price range at 30ish a lb but often they run out of favorites and I have thought about looking elsewhere while waiting for a restock. Anyone know of other moderately priced vendors I could look into? Thanks so much!
