Kava Padawan
I'm becoming more aware of the chemotypes of kavas and using that to determine which kind to go for in certain situations. Being a Friday night and staying in but having visitors I went to try a sample of the Hanakapi Ai Micronized Chris so kindly tucked away in my envelope full of GHK kava (ordered the Promo pack and Papa Ele Ele Miconized also). This chemotype is 423651 - I first felt the nice head effects but being also a sedating type the head effects were rounded by the sedation. I.E. this is a very comfortable kava. Sometimes I may feel a little edgy with high Kavain kavas (but I still prefer this type) usually I can just let go of any edgy feelings since the other effects work so well but with this kava there was no edge to it. Nice and warm feeling in the head and body. For 2 tbsp worth this effect lasted a good while. This warm aura, so to speak, is something I really enjoy from these Hawaiian kavas.
I will say I had a migraine coming on before I started drinking this kava but went for the kava anyway. I did notice that for a little while the headache wasn't so bad but eventually did call it a night. I also felt a little nauseous, which I may get with more sedating kavas, but headaches can do that to me also. Slept well though and woke up the next day feeling pretty good, no lingering headache.
I'm an instant convert for the Micronized grind. It's as easy as dump it in, stir it up, drink it down. I've also strained it and that makes a nice, smooth drink. I end up using less powder per session but really haven't done the math on it yet.
Very nice, relaxing kava and you'll sleep well after this one Can't go wrong with GHK
