Happy New Year everyone. Hugs and kisses :happy:

Haha no doubt! Beware you all kava drinking criminals :D What the book mentions is interesting. I'll see if I can find it somewhere as I always see it referenced here and there. @violet I didn't have kava last night but today I'm going to, the way you do, without the sediment :) Do you feel...

Must not be simple to deal with that, take care Gaia :( I drank some Hawaiian the other day and so… rash and itch again :bored: This time it didn't spread unevenly, it was all over at the same time and much less intense. Nothing left by the end of the following night fortunately. I've just...

Yeah I might do so if it happens again. Thanks for the input Yep ;)

Hello Blossom, I'm sorry for your hives issue :( Mine didn't last that long, but I stopped drinking kava the very next day it appeared. Most of us experience with skin problems due to kava, yours sounds much like this one : http://www.kavaforums.com/forum/threads/suspected-dermopathy. Don't...

Good to know Akava ;) Just one more question if you please. Were you done with reverse tolerance before you changed your kava drinking habits (to instant and extract that is)?

:kiss: Thank you dear Gurl! I'm surprised to see there are that many skin problems… and none like the other! Good to see you could cope with yours :happy: For now I won't try scrubbing because my skin is covered with red dots (very glamourous ), but I know what to do if it gets all dry and flaky...

Thank you Violet :kiss: It's not much better, no. But I slept way too much and this normally swell my face anyway :oops:

Nice detailed report! Koniak is highly sedative I've heard.

Jay, did you have the sample pack from BHK or separate strains? And so how was your Koniak evening? :smuggrin:

@Deleted User01 Before my skin issue I had about 750ml (sorry I can't convert now) 2 evenings in a row. Before that I had stopped taking kava for 3 days because I drank alcohol. It's been 2 weeks only that I take kava.

:wideyed: How did you guess?? Much respect! The company calls it "serotonin" but it's got some 5-HTP in it indeed. Here are the ingredients in French: Millepertuis plante (=Hypericum) : 200 mg Passiflore extrait titré à 2% de vitexine : 100 mg Griffonia extrait titré à 25% de 5htp : 80...

If my allergic reaction comes not from kava so I can re-knead, I'll make sure to make it with gloves! I'm probably not as sensitive as you but I always carry chapsticks and hand creams with me. Kava seems to make my hands and lips much more dry, so I'll take extra care of them. And see what my...

Yes you're right :) I took a hot shower and it didn't make it any better. What I do also is compress my cold hands on my ears, that soothes them a little :)

Yesss :happy: That's funny, Europeans with orders on the way are all receiving their kava these days.

:confused: Common points with what happens to me and not the same still. I did have very dry skin on my hands and lips in the first week, and then suddenly the hives appeared. Interested in the answers you'll be given, Violet, courage!

Wow Akava, looks like most people had skin issues. I remember somebody say he was going all instant, was that you? If so, does instant kava help as well? Thanks for the extract tip;) I've got some good quality one at home :D Heya Violet, I'd be happy to contribute to your coming thread because...

Aw you're such a dear Earth :) And your lil' hives story reassures me. Most probably, I don't know what exactly but I'll be searching through my memory. I hope it'll turn out like that :happy:

I had Malekula Magic which is described as a Borogu strain. The difference between my previous sessions is I have taken some plant capsules. Some Gomphrena (also known as Pfaffia) and one called Serotonin, which is a mix of various plant extracts with a few vitamins. Plus a little of the liquid...

Ok so we don't have diphenhydramine against allergies here. The pharmacy had some in 80mg pills, prescribed against motion sickness. The lady said it was too high a dose. So she gave cetirizine instead, apparently a cousin of the former. I'm going to have one pill per night because it makes one...
