Which noble cultivar would you say is best for muscle relaxation? Getting ready to order and wanted to get some forum thoughts/advice.
A simple question

When available, the Papa Kea is great for Sunday afternoons when you are sore from all the yard work. I think it has a higher percent of Kavalactones and that seems to add to its pain relief properties. Other than that, I think the members will tell you that Boroguru is good for relaxing the body.
WOW! (which is mostly boroguru), is clean and potent but also one of the most expensive kavas you can buy.
Other's that are pretty similar in muscle relaxation are Mahakea, Stone, perhaps Hiwa/opihikao, and judging from the chemotype Malekula magic and pentecost should too.
It's typically the amout of kavalactone #5 and to a lesser degree #2, that contribute to muscle effects. They are longer lasting, more stomach upsetting and add a lot to the feeling of slowness & sedation and in higher doses, a bit of a loose doped up stupor.

well... I don't like the stomache upsetting part, but it's worth it for the muscle relaxing part. Im going to have to hunt down some ginger. Im not a totally "all natural" type. What are your feelings on dramamine or something similar?
Nene really loosens me up in the body. There are probably better body-targeted kava out there, but I haven't tried any because I'm a Heady Monster.
I can't wait for Papa Kea to show up again. That's one I definitely want to try.
I may need to check out the Stone. That's a boroguru? A blend?

Stone - I don't know, and I don't remember if it's ever been said or not. It has a heavy, often sedating feel not unlike a strong boroguru, it gets the job done. I don't think it tastes nearly as bad as it's made out to be.
Papa Kea is awesome. You get a workout trying to squeeze all the lactones out of it. I immensely enjoy both of these kavas.

Stone is borogu lateral roots only. Good stuff I keep some in the fridge. It's what I drank last night
