Late to the friday, but Bula. Hope everyone enjoyed! Bula to a successful and enjoyable week for everyone.

Over the years Kava's numbing effect has disappeared. Every once in a while I'll get it good, but it has become more and more subtle. Kava's effects have not really changed besides a couple weird spats with it when it would upset my stomach or something like that - but yeah, the numbing effect...

In 2017, I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder after a string of panic attacks. To make a long story short - after medication attempts and the whole 9 yards (to no avail) I found Kava. While I started initially using it for anxiety, with great success, I eventually...

The honey orange vanilla (I think that was the flavor?) extract paste from probably 2-3 years ago now was the best extract I have ever gotten my hands on, and I've tried just about every reputable kava extract on the market (I think, at least). I really miss that stuff. I'm sure I've mentioned...

Thank you both. I think I'll check out that Kelai first, it's been a while since I've purchased from N@H. I appreciate the recommendations!

It has been a VERY long time since I have had anything remotely close to a heady kava with the exception of a couple extracts/capsules here and there (very rarely). Honestly, with life getting more and more busy, my anxiety levels improving as well as my fitness and general health, I find the...

That is quite a bit, and would be way too much for me personally - just because of how tired and out of it I would be the next day. I would also be super dehydrated. That being said, everyone is different. What is fine for you, could be too much for me. I've heard of several others on this forum...

It definitely can. I have heard of others mentioning this on here as well. Over-doing it usually brings me down some the next day, especially if I have enough to worry about. While I don't want to guarantee this, it's possible that a lighter more "heady" variety of Kava could not have this...

Have you started taking any new medications or herbs that could be conflicting? If this reaction is a new development as you said, I would look into if anything has changed in terms of that. If there is nothing new on that end of things, then this is something that is really strange I have not...

Condolences, my friend

I found that switching preparation methods made a big difference in how kava effects me. Using an aluball typically yields much more strong batches of kava, albeit a bit more nauseating, but tolerable. I find I get way more bang for my buck when I use the aluball, I think it has something to do...

I had one strain - just one - borogu from BKH that made me feel this way. There was nothing wrong with the kava, I even left it a good review, my body just reacted poorly to it and made me feel super anxious. I even had stomach upset with it whereas I didn't with any other strains unless I...

Sort of unrelated, but I had a similar issue but specifically with traditional straining. I did it for a while, and it just never hit right. Once I switched back to aluballing, kava was back in full effect. Super strange to me - capsules also don't seem to work on me, but liquid extracts have in...

Do what you are comfortable with. I used to take roughly 8x the recommended dose of Bula Kava House's extract when it was still around - truthfully it was unknowingly, but I never had any side effects. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, tone it down a bit. Just go with what your body tells...

Happens to the best of us. I had a mini-spree early last year where any time I drank kava made with the aluball, I'd get hit hard with nausea next morning. Started straining better for a bit using the traditional method, got back to normal, now I'm back to what I was before & aluballing with...

I've unintentionally let mine sit for a couple dayse, before. After a good rinse with scorching water it was fine. Generally I try to wash them ASAP but after getting krunked, sometimes bed just calls. Usually they're pretty sturdy, I guess depending on the material. Most of mine come from Kalm...

Congrats! Been a supporter of you guys since I first got my hands on some of your Vanuatu. Great stuff. Will likely be buying again soon!

Have tried a few Kavas that I used to use regularly and hadn't gotten the same effect. Stone, however, from Nakamal at Home, seems to be hitting just right as it always as. Curious if anything new has popped up on the market in the past year or so that's new and exciting! I prefer my heavy...

I'm never quick to blame Kava for really anything at all, I've been consuming it for roughly 3 years, regularly, up until a few months ago. I slowly developed the lack of ability to feel it's effects. Assuming it was some sort of tolerance, I withheld usage for a few months. When I returned, I...

It seems like it has been a while since I've had a truly good, strong Kava. My routine as of late hasn't really been cutting it for me, and ordering the same Kavas consistently seems to slowly lead to them being less potent. I'm not a super regular drinker (though I have been in the past) so I...
