    Can drinking too much kava cause shallow breathing?

    I've been getting shortness of breath bad after kava. I even went to hospital one night, but I didn't make the connection. Feels like I'm going to pass out. Any tips appreciated. I tried PEA and hordenine, which works temporarily but really sent me over. I was falling around. Maybe ephedrine?

    The sweetness of kava

    It depends on the kava's but I get a sweet smell too often. Still tastes like crap though.

    Has anyone tried just eating the powdered root without straining it out?

    Well Beefybeeve, what you are after in the root are the lactones generally, although i have read the root is high in glutathionone as well, which assists in preventing liver damage. I think with a traditional extraction you get just the right amount of everything you want. Tossing and washing...

    Has anyone tried just eating the powdered root without straining it out?

    I do it occasionally. I used to do it a lot, and the dermopathy was definitey way worse. I also sometimes get shortness of breath from kava, which is much worse if i toss and wash. That said, it does hit a lot stronger.

    I got slapped for the first time

    Yes it was something. We all had to go to emergency and i had to talk about what she had taken to the police - who were cool about it. Now, i should note this person has alcohol issues as well where she gets like that.

    I got slapped for the first time

    Thats what i aim for, lol. A few years ago i had a guest over. I gave her some nambawan and she went nuts - started knocking over furnature and fell down our basement stairs. Then she started trying to puke and scream. We ended up calling 911. She had broken her pubic bone. Horrible situation...

    Do you ever feel really beat up next day from strong kava ?

    Its possible it can affect your REM sleep. So yes sometimes i do get next day effects. Forget Milk thisle. The best thing for your liver is NAC and ALA. These combine into an antioxident called glutathione, which kava has a high amount of and is credited with assisting kava drinkers from liver...

    The Best Kava I've Ever Had

    The immediate after taste is quite something. Its actually pleasant - like vanilla or something, just for a moment though.

    The Best Kava I've Ever Had

    I received mine today. Its definitely the best tasting kava ive had. I just did a quick round with the alu ball. Its good for sure, milder than i was expecting but a nice heady buzz. I look forward to doing a proper session with it soon.

    South Pacific Kava Bulk

    Hi all. I have been buying from these guys for years. It used to be $30 per kilo and the quality was very high. Some of the best ive had actually. Over the years though (especially since the hurricane in vanuatu) the price has increased dramatically and the quality has gone down a lot. In fact...

    Is one day old warm kava still good?

    Man. I did something similar the other day, but didnt smell it first. I just gulped it down and knew something was off. It smelled so off i thought i was going to be sick, but it turned out ok. That smell though, blech.

    Getting my first Kava

    Dont use a french press. Its a very bad idea. Put it in a stocking and do a traditional prep. Do it on an empty stomach.

    Alu ball

    Well thanks to amazon prime i received it today and tried it out with a medium grind boroguru. I was skepical because the taste was weaker than what i am used to, but i did 3 washes with it and it clearly works quite well. I got a nice little buzz using much less than i would if i were straining...

    Found goodies

    From time to time i find goodies in a drawer or back of a cupboard or something. The kava i have been using regularly is ok, nothing special. I was bored so i started looking around. I found 2 bags of pk, one had just a few tablespoons of his Fiji waka, and the other is an almost full bag of...
