Hello, just wondering if anyone wants to share what it was that convinced them that kava is safe. I have researched this as far as Google will get me and was nearly totally convinced that the great liver scare was just a scare and that traditionally prepared noble root is totally safe. Then, this weekend while having my first ever alcohol free new years as an adult I noticed that I started getting a strong metallic taste in my mouth when drinking kava that lasts for hours afterwards. I went straight to Google to check my symptoms (bad idea, I know) and promptly found that this can be a symptom of liver or kidney trouble. This completely freaked me out and sent me into a panic of kava safety research and health anxiety. So, what convinced you that kava safety is not a worry? I'd really like to get back to thinking that way, it really stinks when the one think that provided anxiety relief starts causing it
