Peace
I only discovered kava a few day ago when I was researching relaxing herbal teas online. An article I read on the topic mentioned it as being very effective at relieving anxiety but didn't go very far into what exactly kava was. I went to the local grocery store and while I was picking up a few things saw that they had kava tea bags so I decided to pick some up to try and having not really researched kava at this point, I didn't expect anything but perhaps a relaxing cup of tea. I brewed it when I got home and about halfway through my second cup of it I thought to myself "what did I just drink?" not only did I feel relaxed but I actually felt like I was in a mild and pleasant altered state. This inspired me to research kava online which I have been doing quite a lot of over the past 2 or 3 days. I went and purchased a pound of root powder which should be here on Wednesday of this week and I am extremely excited to try it out. (I experimented with drinking numerous cups of kava tea the next day and was in love with the effect that it had on me!)
I spoke with the owner of an online kava retailer who told me that the fact that I was able to feel the effects of kava after having only drank a couple of teabags (which I've come to gather are not very effective for most people) and the fact that I felt the effects the first time I tried kava means that it really works well with my system.
I have become very fascinated with kava and have the feeling that this is the beginning of wonderful and long relationship with this beautiful plant
Before I start to get REALLY into kava drinking and culture, I would like to ask a few questions if you would be kind enough to help a newby out
The first thing on my mind is: how frequently is it okay to drink kava? I'm the type of person that could enjoy something like this quite often, I don't like to abuse any given substance but I have no problem enjoying a substance like this close to daily in moderate amounts. Is it safe to use kava this frequently as long as one takes breaks from time to time? what would be the effects of long term frequent consumption?
The next question is about tolerance. a decent amount of what I read suggests that a reverse tolerance develops with kava consumption. How long/ how frequently does one consume kava before this reverse tolerance comes into effect for an individual? What is the scope of this reverse tolerance? how much does it build and does it continue to build?
I'm sure I will have more questions very soon but for now my last few questions will be: how affordable is kava to use regularly? How many servings of kava does a pound typically make? and How many of those servings should a beginner like myself take over the course of an evening session of kava drinking for pleasant effects?
Thank you all in advance for helping me out and I look forward to many afternoons with a few shells and some pleasant conversation with you all <3
