it was daily, but as I reconsider, it was really more like 6 to 8 tablespoons most days. 12 tablespoon days were a lot.

Hey Kap, Those cholesterol levels are consonant with my experience as well. I’ve taken a few years off from kava because my cholesterol was near 300, which alarmed the wife. I was doing 8 to 12 tablespoons 7 days/wk before and I am planning to stick to 4 tablespoons 5 days/wk taking breaks of a...

Yea I just checked N@H last night to see if they’d fixed their website to accept credit cards again and Stone is up to $75. Bummer, man. I’d rather have high prices with a system that helps farmers and producers do their craft well, though.

Sorry I haven’t logged in for a while to see your response. Yea I agree with only doing Amlactin when your skin is super dry. It’s not a great daily preventative moisturizer bc of the sun sensitivity. I usually only have to use it regularly in the winter when it’s less humid here in FL.

I never had dry skin until I started drinking kava and now it is basically all winter that I have to apply Amlactin over basically my entire body after a shower and once or twice again throughout the day in trouble spots (usually sides of torso, arms). Highly annoying, but worth it for me. The...

It sure is great.

Drinking Stone right now. I've never gotten a batch that has any tudei effects. I was scared away by the controversy recently, but bought some a few weeks ago and am glad I did.

I was about to ask the same question to @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava . I got a newb friend who wants the chillest stuff around (he has a Rx for another medicinal plant, but it's apparently $1k/mo here). Was going to recommend the Nene to him and pick up some M'oi for myself.

Yea, I have a nutri ninja and just leave it on for a minute. Ended up stopping that method since the dermo got kind of bad. I'll have to give it another go with 15 seconds instead.

I rocked through a pound each of Kula and Nambawan the last few weeks. Just mixed them half and half. I was a little disappointed honestly in the Tongan varieties I've had since I prefer the headier, euphoric effects of Kava and that's what Tongan types are supposed to be apparently. I felt like...

I'm on both and use Facebook way more, but my younger siblings and cousins use Instagram way more. I actually don't think it would be much more time consuming to set up both since they accomplish very different things. Facebook is more for conversations and allows more writing. On Instagram, you...

Just opened and tried mine last night and I can confirm (though I've never had fresh root). I've never cared too much about the flavor, but man. Of the upwards of 2 dozen kavas I've tried, this one is in a league of its own. It also gives me an immediate tingling all the way to my toes that I've...

Bummer. Hope the blarginess passes quickly. FOR SCIENCE!

I think it was mainly way more fat than I'm used to during a session. I was having that much Stone pretty regularly at the time. Inventions of the western industrial food industry usually don't go well with kava in my experience. They either lessen the effects by drying out your stomach...

You could use any oil (or just eat some cheese or something) if you're just going for the bump in effects. I got into black seed oil when my skin was perpetually dry and I was getting derm rashes all the time even while using Amlactin. I found out about it through a website dedicated to helping...

Excellent! Glad you like the flavor too. There's a lot on the forum about using things like soy lecithin in prep to bring out more kavalactones. I notice stronger effects, however, just from the fat being in my stomach with the kava. You can overdo it, though. The only time I've gotten sick from...

Sorry, no 3-4 Tbsp is spread across 2 Aluballs.

Yes, per Aluball shaker amount. So about 1 tsp for 3-4 Tbsp of kava. Which is 2-3 tsp/night for me since I am regrettably a heavyweight. I sometimes accidentally put in too much and have lived to tell the tale.

Awesome! I'm interested to know what you think.

My personal secret blend: Stone + literally anything
