    Kava and cold sores

    Occasionally I have the displeasure of a cold sore. When I first started drinking kava a few years ago, it would dry out my lips and almost feel like I was about to get a cold sore. I didn't for a long time, though, and then some more stressful life events happened and I got them a few times...

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    I strained the first shell of my blended kava and then went to blend a second shell, and without even thinking, just poured it from the blender into the cup. I use hot water, so I had put some ice cubes in it and was just waiting for it to get cold. Once it did, I started chugging it down and...

    Kava song

    I thought of a kava song, sung to the tune of Billy Idol's "Daytime Drama". Beautiful day... for my daytime kava... That's as far as I've gotten so far.

    Ball washing to bag washing

    I used aluballs for a long time and after having several highly-stained balls where the mesh was completely clogged up, I found a way to wash my balls so they would last longer. I'm doing traditional prep now and I will usually wash the bag at the end of an evening. At times I have washed the...

    Kava Preparation Multi-wash on traditional prep

    Up to now when I do traditional prep, I would do one wash and be done. Last time, for some reason I got curious and did a second wash, and still got a good drink out of it, and a weak drink out of a third wash. I knead and wring it out for about 5 minutes. Is that normal? What do you all experience?

    Interaction with Losartan

    Do we have any info on kava interacting with the blood pressure medication Losartan? Since I had kava last weekend I've felt really tired. Losartan I believe is a diuretic, so I'm wondering if I ended up just losing too much water and couldn't rehydrate quickly enough.

    Inflammation and arthritis pain relief

    I have bad arthritis in my hand, that had gotten to the point where it was really painful. The doctor had me get some Voltaren gel, which helped. The pain isn't as bad now and doesn't seem to come back as quickly. I hadn't had any kava for a about 5 months, though, and I remembered a post on...

    Been away for months

    I haven't had any Kava in months. I think five months. On the Zoom Kava Circles, there was a lot of talk about KWK so I decided to jump back in with it. Got some Borongoru, Samoa Ava, and Vula Waka. I've never had the Samoa Ava, looking forward to it. Let's hope UPS gets it here by Friday!

    Supreme back in stock!

    I'm so glad I checked the pricing spreadsheet tonight. I saw that Supreme is back in stock and I've got some on the way. It's giving me chills and making my head twitch just anticipating the funky taste. Better stock up on some pineapples.

    Happykava.com - Kona Kava Farm?

    I saw some "Happy Kava" on Amazon from HappyKava.com. In researching it, I came across a thread on here that claimed to be from someone who worked for them, and it was the same company as Kona Kava Farm, and was crap. Has anyone had any experience with it?

    Kisa's Fiji Waka

    I went through my Bati pretty quickly and still had some Wakacon Fiji Waka left over but it's still kind of low. I checked Amazon for something I could get quickly and Kisa's was available to deliver tonight, so I'm going to give that a try. I saw a few posts about it that seemed favorable so I...

    Kava Society NZ Kelai single cultivar

    Thanks to @Kapmcrunk describing Kava Society NZ's Kelai single cultivar as tasting like almond water flavored with lemons, I had to try it. It's on the way. Will keep you posted!

    Good Kava to use with CBD

    I've started using CBD and it works great, and the store sells K@ as well. I don't get into K@ as I've heard enough people talk about it being addicting and having bad withdrawals, but once in a while I'll try it. I found some K@ extract that felt pretty potent, and combined with CBD...

    Stone Wow

    I've been using "Stone Wow" to describe how I feel when I mix Nakamal At Home's Stone Kava and Wow Kava. The best way I can describe it is someone opened up my head and poured molasses in there, and I feel it slowly flowing down through my body and into my limbs.

    Wow Kava

    Nakamal @ Home Kava is doing the trick lately. Two tbsp of Wow kava in an aluball, and two washes, and I feel deep sedation, my arms get slightly numb and lightweight, and I'm very happy. It definitely slows down my motor dexterity quite a bit, and I start feeling like my friends are really...
