    My kava journey w/ GHK - Reverse Tolerance - day by day

    Thanks HeadHodge...my love for kava has never faded. Been watching from the bleachers for quite some time. Life is usually too crazy to get involved...work and raising three young girls....but I've always loved the Forum.

    My kava journey w/ GHK - Reverse Tolerance - day by day

    I agree with Deleted User01. Use a mixer to tone it down. I rarely drink kava by itself anymore. I like to sip rather than gulp, so I usually use an 80/20 split kava to preferred mix. Ginger ale is good but I prefer something along the lemon/lime variety. Lemonade works extremely well at conquering the...

    Advantages of Grinds

    In the short term KeepOnKrunkin', I think you can get away with wash and toss. I do the same with GHK's micronized varieties but only because his process removes most of the macas before grinding. I've found washing and tossing for any length of time with any other varieties leads to the...

    Kava And Prozac

    There's nothing wrong with being on an anti-depressant and/or anxiety med. In layman's terms, they are supplementing and/or regulating what your body needs (neurotransmitters) to function or think properly. It's not unreasonable to view these meds as being no different than a diabetic who needs...

    Sipping?

    I hardly chug kava, been sipping for years. I usually mix my favorite grog with a little bit of lemonade, ginger ale, or cranberry juice. On ice is a must. You don't need to chug to get the benefits from this root. Preparation of the grog is paramount...a blender is the most efficient and...

    You ever feel like you don't need kava today?

    Hi 4bikes, I've never had much of a next day effect from Borogu. I suffer from anxiety issues as well and have found Borogu, when consumed daily, gets me agitated after awhile. I've tried plenty of different types of kava from all over the world, and I must say, the Hawaiian varieties from...

    Warm, cool, or room temperature water for prep?

    In my experience water temp has little to do with it. Room temp is fine. The amount used and agitation are by far better determinants. I use the blender method religiously. It is much quicker than the traditional method and consistently delivers a good grog, so long as you're using a good kava...

    The Truth About Kava and Hangovers

    Recently I started mixing a little ginger ale with my grog on ice. I sip rather than chug. The sweetness counteracts the bitter kava taste and the ginger helps ease the stomach. Doesn't prevent the gas release through the next day though.

    The Truth About Kava and Hangovers

    I will sometimes get a mild headache and a lethargic feeling the next day after consuming kava the night before. It might be what is called a kava 'hangover' but I suspect it has more to do from a lack of sleep and dehydration. I like the buzz from headier varieties, but they also affect sleep...

    Embarrassing things I say

    You gotta love the 'shield' effect associated with kava. I find generalized and social anxiety fall by the wayside with most varieties. I definitely prefer the headier stuff, which babbling seems to be a nice side effect.

    Hawaiian Kava Center Tudei

    Hey Deleted User01! Indeed, it has been awhile. Been busy with life, but never too busy for kava. Trying some different varieties and some old faithful these days. It's nice to see the selection of fine, quality vendors increase. I should be back on line for awhile, life has started to settle down :LOL:

    Hawaiian Kava Center Tudei

    Definitely not on my want list. I just ordered some Hiwa and Mahakea from them, much better choices in my opinion. The Kap'm words are not 'anecdotal at best'. Tudei is crap, will likely give you the itch much sooner than other Kavas, and research indicates it most likely was the culprit behind...
