Recently, I have been having stomach issues from drinking kava several hours a day. I drink until I am at the point of nearly vomiting and I am forced to stop. I decided to try an experiment I thought of a long time ago. I read from some academic paper that kava grog acidifies within an hour...

Here is a method I came up with for kneading medium grind kava. It has the advantages of being nonmessy, quick, and keeps your hands clean and dry. Kavalactones don't cling to your hands, thus you get less dermopathy on your hands. I used to get cracks in my skin near my fingernails when I...

When I first started drinking kava, my preconceptions were different from how I see it now. As far as my preferences for kava types, here are the stages I have gone through over time: 1. Follow every review and examine them for what effects might bring the ultimate euphoria 2. Look for the...

I bought some Isa with the express purpose of making a high DHM / high flavokawain extract. Flavokawains, DHM, DHK, and Yangonin have all been proven to produce a number of anticancer effects, including: cancer cell apoptosis, inhibition of metastasis, and other cancer fighting abilities. I...

Hey, I have a few days of freedom from family around the fourth of July, plus a few days on either side. Anyone up for a kava gathering in that time frame or the second half of summer? Could be my place, or could be somewhere else. Preferably the Southern half of Virginia. Everyone bring...

I've heard it claimed time and time again, that kneading kava forces oily substances (kavalactones) into water, with the implication that oily substances are more soluble in water after the use of force. That's not a very sound theory, according to physical and chemical principles. While it is...

I've heard great things about Rahmedel, but I don't know where to get it from. If you've tried it, what are the effects like, and where did you get it from? I've only seen one supplier online, and he only sells bulk wholesale. I know it's available in Hawaii, but still rare.

I noticed a post wheres Shakas mentioned a particular aroma to kava urine. My smells kind of flowery the day after ingesting several Tbs of kava (i.e. most mornings). Anyone else notice this? It's not a bod smell, just reminds me of a better version of a toilet freshener or taxicab.

I have a suspicion as to why kava is sterile, based upon past studies. The chromosomes of noble cultivars tend to be around 5 times bigger than the ancestral piper methysticum (citation forgotten sorry). Much of the way that meiosis works in cell division is through the matching of similarly...

I've read a little about several kava cultivars grown in Hawaii, whether originally from there or not, but there is scant information on the effects of Papa Ele Ele, Papa Ele Ele Puu Puu, Kumakua, Honokane Iki, Hiwa, Akau Huli, Ava Lea, Rahmedel, and Rahmwanger. Does anyone have experience with...

I just received a number of Hawaiian kava cuttings in the mail this week. They were shipped in wet sphagnum moss, but the ends still were dried a bit. I cut off a few mm of the dried end on the fatter side of the cuttings, dipped in rooting solution, and placed in fairly wet rooting mix (70%...
