    Thank you so much. Both insights are invaluable. I take a medication that could contribute to dehydration. I'll scan those reports as well. Even if it's just for possible relationships to problems.

    I'm afraid I may be having a serious health issue that could be Kava related...

    I'm 44yo and in good shape, and active, although less so since the pandemic. Mostly tennis now as gyms are not a fun place with masks, I've been using Kava for about 2 years. Mostly in the evenings. About 30-60g of very high quality Kava. I've fractured my Foot playing tennis last May...

    Different reaction to same Kava.

    Coming back around to this thread because I realized what the problem was. I received instand Nambauan instead of the regular root, and I' was using it like the regular. It was packaged in the same bag as regular. They are very similar in consistency unless you compare them side by side...

    Can kava stimulate you, like coffee?

    I'm curious what the other members here think.... This is related, although not exactly the answer your question. I only use Kava in evenings/late afternoons. I notice when I have a higher dose session of good Kava, I wake up more energized. I haven't pinned this exactly, but seems like...

    Most sessions not enjoyable - anyone else have the same experience?

    I'm not sure if this will precisely answer your question but I got something good for you.... Skip the Alu. Use a Nutribullet or Magic Bullet device. NOT BLENDER. I use some milk, not sure that's a game changer. I used to use Nutribullet for ~50 sec 3-4 times. Just discovered going less is...

    Different reaction to same Kava.

    I have enjoyed Nambauan from Bula for a while. I pretty much narrowed it to be my hands down fave and get 5+lbs at a time. I usually enjoy 30-60grams in the evenings in a magic bullet and strain through a bag. Lately I haven't been having good effects. Even at 10g it gets me kind of down and...

    Powdered Kava Review 'Ono

    Hey Gork, I'm curious what your favorite-potent Kava is. I just dabbled in a bit of Ono 50 min ago. Made 4 tbs with warm water in blender. It is first time that I remember not finishing my Kava. Little less that 1/2 still waiting for me and I'm flying. I've been dabbling in some good kava...

    Kava and aging skin

    I was getting dermo from fairly small amounts of Kava. I came to the conclusion (thanks to some members here) that I wasn't removing enough of the particles, considering that I grind my kava vs. kneading it, and was using a fine strainer. I use a fine cheese cloth (or similar) bag and dermo...

    Any new finds on a GOOD DAYTIME KAVA? Melo Melo my currernt fav

    Has anyone ran into any good daytime (or minimally sedating) KAVAS? I'm very sensitive to all sedating substances, so I'll still use the "daytime" in the evening, but anything other will knock me out and prevent from enjoying my experience.

    Dermo Dermo from low dosage and short time on Kava???

    Great advice. Thank you!! Sounds like my magic bullet is on it's last leg, because of excessive blending, so this helps. So to recap: Blend less, Fine strainer (for the dermo), and let it sit. I add 2oz of half/half to 14oz water.... am I forgetting anything else? Sounds like I'm...

    Dermo Dermo from low dosage and short time on Kava???

    Thank you for the feedback. My strainer is pretty open. The kava isn't thick but I guess more root gets through than should. I'll make the recommended adjustments and see how it goes. As far as potency goes, would kneading make it more potent Kava than using a blender for 3 minutes. I use a...

    Dermo Dermo from low dosage and short time on Kava???

    I see there are tons of posts about Dermo but I'm surprised to have developed it form such low dosage. I've been using Kava for less than 2 months. 4 days a week on average. I tend to drink about 2 shells (8oz) per day. So about a tablespoon of ground root to the 8oz water with some milk...
