    Kava causing me HPPD... why?

    Ok, I understand what you're saying now. Kava can make it worse if you're not staying well hydrated enough. Anytime you have a change in the consistency of your mucous it can set off ear issues. Kava can still affect your vestibular system if you are well hydrated but allergies continue to go...

    Kava causing me HPPD... why?

    Just to clarify, are you saying you're getting ear problems or is it more of a hallucination issue?

    We did it! Frozen Friday, but we did it!

    Is this a bad time to mention Arizona had a high of 74 degrees today? :cool: Blowing this Popsicle stand before the hell fires hit for sure though.

    I love Kava Finally got a local group together!

    Got some friends together. The two guys are new to kava and didn't even need any sweeteners or creamer. Powered through the Marco b*tch slap blend with no problems. Troopers for newbies! It was a great time. We have to do indoor circles at least until October because the hell fire of the desert...

    I Love Kava Friday Let's just pump the breaks for a second

    Hey, thanks. That day I yawned and he literally sniffed inside my mouth while I did it. So I was messing with him, like "ok time to eat your face then." ::simplecontentz::

    I Love Kava Friday Let's just pump the breaks for a second

    Sad to say my one of my two cats (they're brothers) passed away suddenly yesterday morning. His name was Totoro. Please, have a shell ::shell:: in his honor and enjoy his cuteness with me in this slideshow I made.

    It's good stuff. I've tried the Parasul. Hope I'm spelling that right.

    Binge drinking kava

    I bet it's the B vitamins making you feel more stimulated then you want more kava. Yes B vitamins are water soluble but that doesn't mean we need to drown in them. If there are any vitamin manufacturers listening, please note this!

    Kava History Traditional Tanoa Decor

    Now that I have a Tanoa, I'm interested in knowing more about the magimagi rope that is braided with the white egg cowrie shells. What's the meaning of it? Is it ok to make my own or would this be considered disrespectful? Here is a museum link for reference...

    Newbie looking for help

    I use kava for help with sleep. Some chemotypes make insomnia worse for me. As far as I can tell, it's trial and error for each person on which kavas will help. For me, anything with too much crown root or some Fijian can keep me up. Generally super heady kavas do not promote sleep. Go for kavas...

    These makas have had a good life. But what now ?

    In that case wouldn't it be better to compost first and then once it's fully broken down, put it with soil for plants. I met a rancher once who would compost horse manure more quickly by putting it in plastic garbage bags in the Arizona sun for a two weeks. That would also kill any remaining...

    Kava Dosages Experience, brewing technique, and variants

    Warm or hot water does make it more bitter. One thing you also might consider trying is start with warmer water on your first batch, then with cooler water on subsequent batches. If you like to have longer kava sessions, this is the way I get it to kick in more quickly but then maintain from there.

    Can kava stimulate you, like coffee?

    The Mahakea at GWK and the bulk Fijian at AAA i find both stimulating. More crown root in the mix will make it so too.
