The dry hands alarmed me at first, but that was last year. The rashy-feeling underarms isn't pleasant, but I've been accepting it, and the ashy arm skin, as a happy tradeoff.
Kava did something for me last week it has never done before: Worked for the entire week!
It's generally hit or miss. But even the preparation tends to help ease my anxiety. (Conditioned response situation?)
So I've gotten into a routine where I'm happy with it, accepting that it doesn't always "click". But yesterday I noticed something odd:
The bottom of my feet looks and feels like someone... I don't know how to describe it... superglued clear plastic to them.
It's this weird hard layer, some of which is sorta peeling.
I've been taking a spoonful of coconut oil a few times a week. I'll start taking it daily. But is THAT even enough?
It has allowed me to cut down on my K@ intake drastically, and psychologically that's a great thing - because I hate being dependent (on K@), but being dependent on such low doses is exceedingly better for my mind than where I was previously (20 grams a day).
tldr: I like Kava, but my skin doesn't. Is there anything I can do?
