    A Gentle Reminder of How Precious Kava Is

    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...

    Oh BKH, how I miss your extract paste.

    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...

    What's a good heady variety on the market currently?

    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...

    What's strong on the market right now?

    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...

    Kava suddenly giving me negative, as opposed to positive effects

    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...

    Current strong Kavas on the market?

    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...

    Best "bang for your buck" Kava?

    Kava tends to add up quite a bit. What's your guys' favorite go-to Kava when/if you're trying to save money? For me I feel like it'd be Supreme, pretty consistently potent, good price. Curious to see what others say.

    Your personal favorite go-to's for managing anxiety, besides Kava.

    I have struggled with anxiety for a very long time, I truthfully sometimes forget how strong the anti-anxiety effects of Kava are until I go without it for several days. Sometimes, I just don't feel like shelling. What are your guys' favorite things to relieve anxiety besides Kava? Doesn't have...

    Anyone ever had bad Kava?

    I recently bought a variety of Kava that I've had before, and actually quite enjoyed. It's a Vanuatu Kava from a well-known & trusted vendor, I've never had any issues with it before until I purchased a new bag of it. I seem to get some really Tudei-like effects, nausea next day, headache...

    Dermopathy in mouth?

    I think I may have come down with dermopathy for the first time, however... inside my mouth. I think it’s because of my usage of extracts, specifically, pasted, and typically how I use them. I like to let it sit in my cheeks for probably a bit too long to absorb that way, I never let it sit...

    Powdered Kava Review KAVA ROOT POWDER - KAVA LAPITA

    I love everything about this Kava besides the taste. But, I have never enjoyed the taste of Kava. I felt inspired to review this Kava on here noticing nobody else has, at least, in the way I am doing it. Overall effects are heavy, calming, sleepy, dreamy. Kind of what I expected based on...

    Any word on when the Extract will be back in stock?

    Love that honey orange vanilla extract. Could go through a whole tube of that in a night lol (not actually) but I do love the stuff.

    New Kava Supreme?

    I purchased a new 1/2 pound bag of Kava Supreme the other day off of Amazon, as it's my favorite Kava that I ALWAYS run out of... I swear the stuff disappears into thin air. Anyways, has there been a new batch made recently? This stuff tastes very very different than the usual Kava Supreme. Much...

    Kava is beautiful.

    Is this going to be a krunk-induced rant on how amazing Kava is? yes. lol. Alittle over a year and a half ago I tried Kava for the first time, after googling remedies for anxiety. I went to the local vitamin store, got a simple extract and tried it out. I immediately felt wonderful, fell asleep...

    Quick question

    Feel free to move this thread if it’s in an improper place. Is there a thread somewhere on here, or maybe an article, or anything, that covers Kava in a very in-depth way that would be great to show to someone who is asking about what Kava is? The reason I ask, is because I’m quite tired of...

    Some of the reviews on BKH's website...

    ..make me die laughing everytime I see them. Feel free to remove/move this thread because of the explicit language in the screenshots but I just wondered if anyone else ever noticed some of the hilarious reviews that end up on some of their products. Guy kind of sounds like...

    Anyone here drink Kava first thing in the morning?

    I do it very rarely. I stick to the headier kinds in the mornings for obvious reasons, but I was just wondering if anyone makes Kava a part of their daily morning ritual. How does it affect you?

    Where is one able to purchase from GHK?

    When i'm on their website it seems that any links to store pages redirect me to the home page so I can't view anything up for sale. Is there any other way of purchasing their products? I've heard good things about their Kava and can't wait to try some for myself...

    *Possible* shortness of breath from Kava?

    The reason I say possible is because I get this weird, upper stomach discomfort a few hours and sometimes up to the next day after using Kava. Now, i'm not entirely sure if this is stomach related, because it results in a feeling like I can't take a deep breath. I breathe fine, I don't...
