    Thanks again, kava

    you magnificent bastard. I have struggled long and mightily against anxiety and tension. Kava rescued me yet again today. I won’t say I’m 100% back to normal, but the thought of packing my kids for their weekend trip is no longer filling me with existential dread. I really thought today would...

    Thank you, kava.

    Haven't been here in a while but hoping this post will someday help someone else. 3 weeks ago I fell off my horse and hurt my back (previous injuries, disc surgery). Within a day my whole leg was numb and was in horrific pain. ER, MRI, surgeon appointment, less than a week later I had another...

    Thanks Mike

    mike saved me today. I blew through my stash of boroguru on one super turbulent flight and had none for the way back - dude got me some concentrate and micro to the client office I was working at (and may have gained a couple new customers as I extolled the virtues of their product.) Thank you...

    Kavasseur I feel you, but as a staunch non-drinker it's the best solution I've got XD

    Newbie here to tell you how I manage to drink kava despite the dreaded kava allergy.

    Well that's a bummer, then. My reaction was next level, went to the hospital and everything. But as I was eliminating/adding things back in to determine the cause I realized that it was the kava, and also that the reaction was a bit better every time. I guess the proper reply would be, it CAN go...

    Newbie here to tell you how I manage to drink kava despite the dreaded kava allergy.

    I would be really interested to know that. For what it's worth since this post i no longer have any allergic reaction -- so it does go away if you're persistent!

    What does nausea mean?

    Prep, strain and type. "Darker" kavas like a waka give me more nausea. Quality is key. Strength, too. Some people do better with a weaker brew and higher liquid volume, and some like a strong brew so they consume less liquid which distends the stomach. Some types just aren't worth the nausea...

    3 strikes, I'm out (and sad)

    I had/have this problem, and it's definitely not alcohol related for me as I don't drink at all. I made a post about this a few weeks ago. I have been able to drink kava provided I take certain precautions. For what it's worth, brand/type has a huge effect on reaction for me. Feel free to PM me...

    Newbie here to tell you how I manage to drink kava despite the dreaded kava allergy.

    Thank you for your input!!! Im definitely very careful and sticking with the strains that have caused no reaction. Since the reaction is latent (doesn't appear until about 12 hours after ingestion) I don't think anaphylaxis is much of a concern, but I'm definitely more aware now that I know I...

    Newbie here to tell you how I manage to drink kava despite the dreaded kava allergy.

    Hello all! I discovered kava through my husband, who hit a kava bar when he was in Chicago for the World Series (GO CUBS GO!) I am sober from alcohol and all types of drugs including pot, so while I was initially hesitant I've found that kava does not pose any threat to my sobriety. I've found...
