What will help with Kava-induced nausea ?

[Plantacious]

Is there any particular remedies, that would be good for nausea brought on by kava, whether it's because of too much kava, poor quality kava, or poorly prepared kava ?

Same question about remedies for a kava-induced headache. I usually take Ibuprofren, but I did a search and there seems to be questions about the safety of combining those two.

From my experience drinking lots of water has been the easiest way to reduce nausea and headaches. I often forget the importance of staying hydrated, which leads to other problems like dermo.

Ginger for me!

Ginger here too. Just cut a thin slice and stick it under your tongue.

For me it's also ginger and drinking lots of water. I mean, loads of. Really, staying hydrated when drinking kava is more important than you might think.

I thought I saw some people say they put ginger in their kava.
I thought it was for flavor, but is it actually a preventative measure against nausea ?

Doesn't drinking a ton of water during a session sort of ruin it for you tough? Or do you make it a point for the next day?

No, drinking lots of water doesn't diminish the effects, at least not for me. But I drink most of the water after a session, because the liquid intake is already pretty high during the session, haha

I get no negative effects of drinking lots of water during a sesh. In general, though, you do your hydration as a systemic thing, over the course of the day. The short term effects of dehydration in a sesh are easily fixed with a quick chug of water but it's the longer effects of dehydration from kava you want to avoid by drinking plenty of water when you are not drinking kava, e.g. during the day. A lot of people seem to enjoy drinking maté during the day, as it is nicely hydrating, and kava at night.

one thing I do to stay hydrated, and I find it enjoyable for drinking lots of kava, is after the first couple of shells in a sesh have put me in my desired kava zone, I just sip iced kava. The ice really makes a difference both for drinkability and hydration, I find.

@Intrepidus_dux I try to make sure I'm really well hydrated going into a session and then I don't drink anything during the session at all. I struggle to drink anything during or after to be honest. I will wake up a bit dry in the morning but drinking water all day gets me ready for the next night.

The first couple of times using Kava I got nausea and had headaches as well but it only took 2-3 sessions before It stopped happening really. Being hydrated is always a good option in general for health and well-being but if you are new to Kava like me, maybe just give yourself time to get used to it.

You pick this stuff up quickly. That bodes well.
