    The mysterious kavalactone content in traditional grind compared to instant

    Yes I love the instant from Kavaeurope... just the Pacific Elixir is so nice. It is like another kind of kava.

    The mysterious kavalactone content in traditional grind compared to instant

    Interesting, but can't be true somehow, because when I have an ounce of traditional grind and do several washes, I have a comparable strength like an ounce of instant, but still I have f.e. 26gr leftover from traditional grind, while I have no leftovers from instant. Also the lecithin issue, to...

    Freezing your kava brew, loss of potency?

    I hope this question hasn't been asked somewhere else already! I am close to ordering and can't decide between instant and traditional grind. Instant because it is so easy to use. I am thinking about making huge amounts of traditional grind kava at once, and put it in the freezer in small...

    The mysterious kavalactone content in traditional grind compared to instant

    I wonder why instant Kava Kava doesn't have a much higher kavalactone content (the powder itself of course). Lets say you have a strong cultivar with 10% kavalactones. Now you make a kava brew and dry it. As far as I know and read, those instant powders are in the same kavalactone region ...

    Kava Dosages Tooth Extraction + Kava question

    Well i had a teeth extraction one year ago. 3 at one time and a cyst which was there. I waited 1-2 days to drink kava, and when I did, my wound opened again and I had to go to the dr and they had to close it again. To me it seemed to be connected, this area reacted a bit sensitive. But might be...

    Are there other actives that complement kava (especially for sleep)?

    Silly question: Ever tried to do enough workout and meditation side by side? The more you are leveled out, your sleep should solve itself. Except you have some heavy things going on like PTSD or such...

    Supplier Review Great vendor and support

    So as I just did my review here I want to give a basic review of the store itself. Great support, fast delivery (the fastest I had within EU, some stores do sometimes ship the same day, but mostly not) and the price is also OK. First I had a bit the idea that the "spirit" could be a bit...

    Powdered Kava Review Melo Melo / - Daily Break -

    So I am proud to be able to do the first review here. I had a couple of Melo Melo sources within EU the last years. Perhaps it is my state of mind, that differs sometimes, so the effects differ. But I have to recognize again and again, that this Melo Melo, to me, is the strongest regarding...

    Resetting and helping repair your GABA system in the brain

    Hello @ll, I wonder if some people have some input on this issue. One very interesting input I found some years ago, sadly I can't find the source again. It is about the plant "brahmi" which can help to repair the GABA "system" (receptors/region) in the brain. It was very detailed, why and...

    Kava Drinking Age in Va: 18+ vs. 21+

    Basically due to the brain is growing until the age of 28 +/- and then evolved, I would try to avoid to take anything that changes the brain chemistry up to this age. But I know it is so unrealistic, because young people want to try things anyway and you can't forbid it to anyone. And better...

    Group buy of Kavaha preorder (EU)

    Are here some people within EU interested in a group buy of Kavaha's pre-order offer (-40%)? Perhaps we could work something out. For me it is too much to take 2kg of one cultivar (without trying before). Bir Kar is one of them. At first I didn't like Bir Kar, meanwhile I like it very much. No...

    Withdrawals, can they happen?

    Restless legs because of missing magnesium? Really? I am not into RLS, I don't know but sounds a bit unrealistic that this is the only reason for it...

    Withdrawals, can they happen?

    thx @BourbonMac for your honesty! But restless legs, wow, that's surprising to hear. I don't use micronized anymore because my body just couldn't take it. I question that 40gr of micronized are equal to 80gr of traditional grind, if you use the traditional grind more often and especially if...

    Withdrawals, can they happen?

    Very interesting, because to me kava is very antidepressive. Actually the best I ever had in life. But the downsides are huge (the come down on the one side and the "hardiness" on my body). I never found something better than kava, that fits to so many "use methods". Depends on cultivar of...

    Kava causing me HPPD... why?

    Due to I am a bit into "shamanism", at least I am on my way to study it, and lets see how far I come (so I am NO shaman), to me Kava was always more than just a "non-psychedelic" from the beginning. Especially 1-2 days after consuming (depending on mind state, cultivar and dose), I have very...

    Withdrawals, can they happen?

    I tend to have a "soft" physical withdrawal as well. At least a huge psychological withdrawal as well. But I was 2x benzo addicted in life. Perhaps that makes a difference. Also I am reacting a bit strange to kava since the beginning. Sometimes it seems to "destroy" my nerves or attack them...

    The parties over

    Perhaps I should add, for people who aren't used to kava and reading this stuff. Everyone has a different mind and brain chemistry. I seem to lack a lot, which "kava fills". So of course my reaction or "longing" for it is huge. But those are problems I have to solve, kava can't solve this. I...

    The parties over

    To me it is similar but not really stopped totally. I realize somehow that I "need" it, but I don't function well on daily kava. A couple of days in a row and I have a very hard time mentally to stay off it for some days. Sometimes it is so hard compared with other "drugs", that the missing...
