The aluball must be completely dry before you add kava. If the screen is wet/damp, the outer layer of kava will stick to it like cement and the water will barely penetrate the outer layer. This leaves the center only damp/claylike after you shake it up. Also, the bottle seal area must be dry or...

Transcription of a 1967 symposium dedicated to psychoactive plants. Session 2 was dedicated entirely to kava (begins on page 102) Page 169 appears to reference the invention of instant kava- out of necessity. :D Interesting stuff. Strange these open-minded researchers failed to delve deeper...

The Koro Island kava from Art of Kava was a very nice kava and had good potency. The Kava Depot (gold) Headhunter is a nice balanced kava as well. Didn't think it was as strong as the Koro. However, the Solomon Gold from Kava Depot was a pretty blissful kava and was as strong as the Koro. Also...

Yeah CBD/hemp (Not high THC MJ),for me,is kind of close in effect to kava. It does not smack you like *I hear* MJ does. And it goes wonderfully with kava. One-two punch to stress without feeling loaded. CBD/hemp with a mix of Kava Vinaka waka and lewena and loose as a goose after a typical...

Good find, Mo'iety The pathophysiological effects of Kava have been widely discussed. Chronic and heavy users of kava report various symptoms, including muscle degradation, reddening of the eyes, and rare incidences of severe hepatotoxicity have been documented (Brown, et al., 2007; Fu, et...

Google search: Many people experience facial flushing when they drink alcohol. The technical term for this condition is “alcohol flush reaction.” ... ALDH2 is an enzyme in your body that helps break down a substance in alcohol called acetaldehyde. Too much acetaldehyde may cause a red face and...

Having alcohol with a lot of kava in your system (recent) can make your skin (only seen on the face) red/flush/hot for a few hours- not exactly a rash though.This can happen, especially with red wine, with just alcohol and no kava in your system, but recent kava in your system can make this...

Here is someone else that had the same exact allergy symptoms that I had - and then, evidently, later had no allergic reaction. Looks like they attributed it to poor storage, but the kavas that caused my reactions were freshly opened bags from BKH, so I do not think storage was the issue- just...

Kona Kava does not seem to be so well-regarded in this forum / other online reviews. I would imagine it's fine to drink, but any in the string of vendors I listed in the post above can probably give you more premium kava for about the same price. I have had both dermo (although just mild to...

Yes,an allergic reaction. There is plenty of information, on this forum and elsewhere, that indicates there is probably no correlation between traditionally prepared kava root consumption and liver damage. I described my experience above. I imagine everyone could have different results, though...

Something I posted at one time: Same exact thing happened to me. After a few months of taking/making/trying various brands , etc., I finally fully felt the full calming/ wash-over/de- stress effects. Just after that, I became extremely itchy - like rolled around naked in a pile of poison ivy...

After I posted, I noticed your kava drinking schedule. Just FYI, I almost never drink kava early in the day, but I would definitely not drink that one early in the day; it's pretty sedating. I enjoyed it on it's own in the evening, but as Zaphod posted above, I have also mixed it 50/50 with a...

Have had a few pounds of Root of Happiness PNG and a kilo of Kava Depot's PNG; neither were noble. They were similar, but I preferred the ROH. The PNG had a yellowish color, tasted very piney and had a delayed onset (compared to noble). It is pretty potent, but would not say it's stronger than...

After seeing Kava Depot mentioned on this forum ( Edward UK, I think), I went all in and stocked up with 3 kilos: Solomon Island Gold, 100% lateral root-Vanuatu, and PNG Isa 100% lateral root Madang. I'm surprised I had not heard of them before. 1. Solomon Islands Gold: This was pleasant...

I have sampled quite a few. Green Roads did not do much for me. My favorite is Lazurus Naturals full spectrum high potency oil. For me, it takes almost 2 hours to "feel" ...and yes, I can "feel" it working ( for stress reduction/relaxation/improved sleep , etc.) So, I'll have the oil and two...

Having Lapita right now and had some cbd oil awhile ago(y) Lapita is a good choice . Question is, which cbd to have with Lapitao_O

Thanks. Will find out soon and, yes, the kadavu definitely did seem different, and not nearly as good, since last batch I had this summer.

Thanks for the reply. It just arrived on the doorstep. Sounds disappointing. I was looking forward to a somewhat decent Tongan tonight. This bag doesn't really have a strong odd smell though, just a mild kava smell and a real mild unknown herb smell, I guess. Guess I'll mix up a strong batch...

Good for the price. Can get kinda krunk if you drink enough of the Vanuatu
