I first started trying Kava years ago in the form of an alcohol suspended extract from the local natural shop, we tried pockets of honey I just could not figure out a way to take the extract it was so bitter. So he gave me empty capsules that I quickly filled and downed before they dissolved in my hand being filled with alcohol lol. Those worked great and it has been years since I have been doing that, I am just a seasoned green smoker. Now I am back on wanting to use this regularly, so I ordered "instant 10:1 root extract powder 100% Fiji grown USDA organic" thinking thats what extract is made out of + alcohol.
I start my way with half a table spoon mixed into coffee (the stuff is like cinnamon; so dry its almost non-soluble) this had a very mild effect almost just barley took the edge off the day. At night I was filling "000 size pharma-grade capsules" with the powder and taking one an hour before bed and it really helped me reach REM and get a solid deep crazy dream sleep for 3 days with great energy in the morning better then the last 10 years. However last night the 3rd night I started getting pain in my chest below my ribs its my liver, I first noticed the pain when I coughed. It has now been 24 hours and and its still pretty much the same (I have not taken any kava all day today) this was from 3 days of use, I am guessing the caps are not opening until they reach my liver and it balls up like cinnamon? I really want to continue to use this is I can do it properly (maybe mixing drinks) I feel as long as I can get it to solute into liquid before intake it will help greatly? Maybe I have the wrong kava all together...
Please help
