I only used one tsp for the whole batch and it seemed plenty for me. I did hand prep, two washes (so far...
) That kava is so good tasting.

I'll bet the 24 waves would taste nice with some coconut oil.
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 people with histamine intolerance because it's been proven to have antihistamine properties (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16240107 for example). From reading posts on here by people much smarter than me as well as some Googling, I found the rashes would be helped by substances that stabilize skin mast cells so that they don't release histamine. I had been getting almost unbearable itching for several weeks and the first day I took the black seed oil before my session, the itching was barely noticeable. I almost never have the itching anymore even though I use the same prep (usually Aluball and sometimes blender now) as before. From reading testimonials here, there seems to be a breakthrough point where the itching and rashes get much better and it also changes seasonally with humidity levels. However, the itching going away literally overnight and not really coming back yet makes me think the black seed oil helps at least some amount for derm. (This may be an issue of great interest to you in a few months @Ibbygirl.)
It seems you have taken notice of how much kava I am drinking!
hehe Thanks for the tip. I hope to avoid any unpleasantness with the dermo. It's nice and humid here most of the time as you know.
was it the salt or the fat, do you think? Or just too much of a muchness?
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 (crackers, etc.) or over-potentiate the kava as I found out the hard way.
So I think it's ability to potentiate is legit, but yeah, it seems to potentiate EVERYTHING so proceed with caution IMO. Just my humble 2 cents from a newbie who knows absolutely nothing! hehehehe
Bummer. Hope the blarginess passes quickly. FOR SCIENCE!*update of my update* Okay after a while longer I can say that I definitely feel the effects more strongly, but now I'm feeling sick. The first time I drank the Bati I drank a buttload of it and it made me feel nauseous then too so maybe it's just the way it hits me if I take too much, but I didn't even finish my second wash and feel hella blargy.
Thanks! Yeah we all gotta take one for the team sometimes! For science!
Ginger tea is helping. No more kava til tomorrow though. Put the rest of my second wash in a mason jar in the fridge.
That's exactly my impression and experience. Those are good for manipulating the experience, but for food I just stick mostly to veg and fruit.
