    Kava Ritual

    I've been away from kava for a long time. Finally jumping back in.. hopefully, this weekend. And in typical me fashion.. let's jump in with a ritual! I'm a pagan and thinking maybe some connecting with my Gods and offerings. Perhaps some divination. Kinda curious if anyone else has done anything...

    Kava and L-theanine

    L-theanine has become a lifesaver for me as far as relieving stress and allowing me to focus. Haven't had kava for awhile because of budget issues. Kava should be here in a few days, and I'm wondering about the effects of taking them together. Obviously, I could just skip the l-theanine on days...

    The One Thing You Wish Everyone Knew About Kava

    So I'm starting a blog about herbs and natural remedies. Of course, one of my first posts is going to be about Kava. I'm trying to keep my posts readable, which means keeping things fairly short and sweet. That being said, what is the one thing that you would love for the general population to...

    Liver Issues?

    Ok guys. I got some news today. It's hard to share, but I think of y'all as my friends. We found out today that my husband has a pretty serious case of Hepatitis C, which he got a few years before we got together. Knowing how it's transmitted, that means there's a good chance that I do as well...

    Kava and ..... Fiber?

    I've been away from kava for awhile, and I drank quite a bit yesterday. To put it politely, I'm cultivating a new relationship with my bathroom today. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though it is inconvenient. I don't remember having this issue before, but it's been awhile, and I consumed more...

    Grapeseed or other oil with kava?

    I'm wondering if anyone has tried any oil besides coconut oil with kava? I have some grapeseed and flax seed oils, considering trying one of them with my next batch of kava.

    Opinions on powdered extract?

    Out of curiousity I've decided to try some kava extract pills. It's from a reputable place that I buy lots of herbs from, so I'm not really concerned about safety and quality. I am curious about others experiences. Are extracts effective? Do they give you the kava experience?

    A Happy Discovery

    I normally do two washes on my kava and then freeze it. When I accumulate a cup or more, I'll take it out and boil it. Normally, this isn't too potent, but enough that it's worth doing. This time I took coconut milk (the kind in the can with a lot of fat) and mixed some in the water that I...

    Water Kiefer?

    Does anyone have any experience with kiefer grains? I'm considering getting some water kiefer grains. Also, the thought of using kava instead of water crossed my mind. I'm sure it would either be really cool, or the worst idea ever.

    Mahakea vs. Papa Ele Ele vs. Pana'Ewa

    I've took a long break from kava but now it's calling too me. Mahakea is my favorite so far. How do Papa Ele Ele and Pana'Ewa compare to Maheakea?

    Kava for Grief

    My father in law is dying of cancer. The doctors say six months, my instincts say three at the most. My husband and I are living with his mom and dad. They are also raising two of their grandkids. Essentially when he passes I'll have to be the one to hold the family together. While they are...

    Spiritual Gifts and Kava

    This isn't something I go around broadcasting, but the kava has made me brave :). I'm wondering if anyone else has spiritual gifts, and how kava affects them. I discovered I was an Empath, and then I discovered I had other gifts as well. I'm a Christian first and foremost, but my beliefs have...

    I Love Kava Friday It feels so good to be baaaccckkk

    My first kava order in months just happened to come in today. Given my stress level the last few days, I decided that it was fate. So I've spent the day drinking kava, playing in the snow, and coloring. I had forgotten just how good kava can make you feel. I so needed this! All my stress has...

    Vula Kava

    This may have been answered already, but I've been away from kava for awhile. I wanted to assess the affects of different herbs without questions about which herb was doing what. Now I've drawn my conclusions, and found some helpful herbs. I'm ready to return to my first love, Kava, in addition...

    Ice Cold Water

    I've been using hot water to prep my kava. I'm impatient so I just throw a few ice cubes in it when I'm done, but the taste is really harsh. The freezing thread got me thinking, so today I did a prep with ice cold water. It seems stronger and tastes ten times better. I didn't want to freeze my...

    My journey to find my calling

    I've always been intuitive and sensitive. I've also known for a very long time that my purpose is to love people. To help them. Listen to their problems. Now I feel like I'm growing spiritualy ( i think kava plays a part) and I'm looking for a more specific purpose. I went outside to think...

    Nausea from heady kava?

    I have never had issues with kava making me nauseous before. I started drinking Moi, and I love it. The only problem is it seems to make me nauseous every time I drink it. What do I do? Why do other kavas not affect me this way? Is it the kava, or simply my stress level at the moment?
