    Selling 3 1kg unopened bags of The Kava Society Palarasul

    Bula all! I have 3 1kg unopened bags of Palarasul from The Kava Society that I bought right at the start of the pandemic to stock up. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter I realized that kava had been causing a worsening of my allergy symptoms and have had to stop drinking it. Which is really a...

    Kava Side Effects Kava's effect on environmental allergies

    So awhile back I posted a thread about how I had been having allergic-type reactions after kava sessions that got bad enough that I took a break for several weeks. At first I was thinking I was developing an allergy to kava itself but then I noticed that the reaction was worse when my baseline...

    Kava Physiology Mild kava allergies?

    Well, I'm beginning to think I might have some level of allergic reaction to kava :( It doesn't happen every time I drink kava, but sometimes, an hour or so after the start of my session, I get red and itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and a flush feeling of my face with slight visible reddening...

    Seattle Area

    If anyone else is in the Seattle/Western Washington area I'd be down to meet up and drink some kava sometime.

    Kava Physiology Kava pharmacology: glycine receptor antagonism contributing to headiness?

    Here's an interesting study from this past year: "Kavalactones from Kava (Piper methysticum) root extract as modulators of recombinant human glycine receptors". It finds that kavalactones have an inhibitory effect at glycine receptors - a mechanism of action shared by compounds like caffeine[1]...

    Is kava a blood thinner?: Addendum

    I found this old thread on whether kava is a blood thinner and wanted to add an addendum. According to the studies @verticity dug up, kava may be a COX-1 inhibitor of similar potency to aspirin and ibuprofen, and therefore a blood thinner. However, an important detail is that aspirin is an...

    Case report: Toxic Hepatitis After Consumption of Traditional Kava Preparation

    So I came across this case report, which seems to suggest that traditional noble kava consumed in Samoa was linked to acute hepatitis in a 42-year-old healthy male. This one is interesting, since as far as I've found at least, it's the only case report where the "kava" is actually traditional...

    Favorite multi-kava combos?

    So as many of you probably know, Mo'i is pretty much my favorite kava, since I really enjoy the giddy, "everything is totally perfect" euphoria that you get just after a shell of a heady kava. But sometimes Mo'i is so heady that it feels like it's missing something. Especially in the evening, I...

    Selling KWK Borogu opened 1lb bag - mostly full

    Hi All, I have a mostly full 1lb bag of KWK Borogu (weighing in at 406.8g/0.89lb, bag included), purchased Nov. 2019, that I'm looking to sell. I seem to be sensitive to DHK and the Borogu is too heavy for me. It leaves me with a next-day sedation that's unpleasantly strong, unless I use it...

    Powdered Kava Review Mo’i Medium Grind

    Mo'i is quite simply the best heady kava I've ever had, and probably my favorite kava. My username is named for it after all :) It's potent and supremely heady - just one shell of 2-3 tbsp root sends me to giddy, euphoric, everything-is-right-with-the-world land. And the taste is pretty good...

    Palarasul kava from Kava Society NZ

    I recently was on vacation in New Zealand and popped into the Four Shells kava bar in Auckland and had some shells of the Palarasul kava. It was really good! Relatively mild in taste and heady-balanced effects with a nice kavain buzz at the start. I'd compare it to the current Samoa special...

    Prolonging heady effects

    Does anyone have any tips for prolonging the heady effects that you get at the beginning of a session without getting "bogged down" in heaviness toward the end? For me, the best part of kava is the heady everything-is-great-with-the-world euphoria that comes right after drinking a shell and...
