I'm still intrigued by the way the kava effect is sometimes heightened by consuming certain things particularly dairy. With experience I am finding that if I consume a good amount of kava (say 6 tablespoons) and then take in some milk, although it has worked with other dairy products, I can get a real rush of warm, happy feelings. If I don't then I still feel the kava but it tends to be a little more subdued. Also, if I don't do the milk thing the previous night I am prone to having the rush the next morning. My theory is that for some reason my body won't use the KL's in the kava right off the bat and it needs some help to get going. If they are not used at the time of taking the kava then they hang around in my system until the next day and can be triggered then. Does anyone else have a similar experience?
