I've used kava for years, the last several years heavily like 2 or 3 times daily, 7 days a week. It looks like I have a case of dermo. Other than quitting or cutting back neither of which appeal to me, is there anything to take to lessen the symptoms? I noticed one post on here where someone...

I drink a lot of kava. Recently the 3 main vendors I buy from plus a fourth are showing out of stock on some of their offerings. That never used to happen except with one of them which is chronically out. Is there some kind of "disturbance in the force" like overall supply chain issues or...

I did a search on here and on the internet for kava and pain. No one said which kava. They just say kava helps with pain. That doesn't help much. I'm assuming a heavy one like maybe Stone but I wondered if anyone here has had experience with it for pain and which one you used.

I've been using kava for years, more recently daily, and wondered if there's any medium grind over 9% kavalactone content? All I can find at that level is Nambuwan and Stone which are both 9% according to their respective websites.

I just placed my regular order a while ago and when I went to their site today I was shocked at the 30 percent price jump in a short time. It was always pricey but now it's unaffordable. $104 for a pound. I previously paid $78. Why? I don't know, because he wants to? He recently opened a new...

I've had it a lot, either from intentionally taking a monster dose or if my normal dose kicks in stronger than I'm expecting. I was curious if anyone knows what kava does to make that happen. It goes away in a little bit of course but seems like messing with one's vision may not be a good thing...

Looks like Canopy Botanicals only sells K@. Last post I saw on here about vanuwaka was from 2019. Is vanuwaka available anywhere else? It must be different than the other wakas I've had, lots of comments on how heavy it is.

My stomach has decided it has issues with Borongoru micro (KWK). I really, really don't want to give it up nor do I want to run to the john. I've had similar issues with a few other varieties just not every one. (I'm into the micros now and have temporarily sidelined medium grind) Ginger works a...

Has anyone had issues doing that? I may be flying soon and absolutely must have my micro kava with me. I guess the safest way is put it in checked luggage but has anyone had experience with this and can advise me?

It's been mentioned a number of times about adding milk to your water when using medium grind because of the fat content. I've found it to be WAY more effective than plain water. But when using micro grind, does it make any difference? You're not extracting anything, you're basically just...

My favorite kava (so far) does not come in a micronized version. I really really would like some and I'm wondering if anyone here has been successful with a DIY attempt? Grinding it up is just toss and wash so there's got to be more to the process. I Googled and found that one way is to sieve...

Recently as an experiment I decided to try my normal blender prep using only water from a closed container that had been sitting in the room for a little while. Didn't work out well, the grog was really weak. Today (and normally) I used partial milk plus quite hot water and it worked WAY better...

I was doing some Wacacon Waka once, results were OK but not spectacular. Toward the end of the shells, I ate something (which I can't remember) and immediately after suddenly got seriously whacked by the Waka. Bam! Good thing I didn't have to drive anywhere. I've read that some suggest taking a...

I've gone through a few different kavas, read about others and am having a hard time finding a strong kava that will stay heady and not morph into sedation. The only one I've found so far is Pouni Ono but I've taken it too often and am becoming desensitized to it. Mo'i starts out good but...

With the Aluball Pro and a couple balls I think you can process as much medium grind as in a blender? (6-8 tblsp) Other than cleanup, does one do a better job (stronger grog) than the other? I don't mind the blender cleanup but have been thinking about the Aluball Pro. Strength of grog rules so...

I've been a long time lurker here and have gotten a lot of help on various things. One thing I'm running into is that I appear to be getting de-sensitized to kava. I've been drinking it for quite a while, varieties from GHK, KWK, Bula, Wacacon, and I'm finding that the more often I drink it the...
