Hello

[Jade]

Hey there kava forum.I have replied to a few posts on here but never properly introduced myself so I thought I might if you don't care. I have been drinking kava off and on for about 9 months now. Brought to it by my search to do something about my anxiety.I have found that it greatly helps with my anxiety...thankfully. I have a history of drug and alcohol abuse so I was excited to find that it is not physically addicting.I have no desire to go back down that road as I have been drug and alcohol free for over 9 years.
In the beginning I think I overdid it and it made me sick at times.Almost gave up but stuck with it.Of course, the kava I was drinking may have not been pure noble. I have a very sensitive system that seems to tell me when somethings off.Now I find myself drinking only known noble kavas.The ill feelings have passed and I find myself drinking nearly everyday. Not excessively.(Unless the weekend or special occasion.)I'll usually have a couple of shells around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and maybe another shell or 2 of Nene later on. Do you think drinking noble everyday is ok? Do any of you drink everyday? How often do you drink and how much?Just curious as I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle these days and want the best for my health as I am sure you do to.
Peace and love to all. Thanks for allowing me to be here and for supplying such helpful info.

Hi Jade! You will find that many members of this forum drink kava every day and have been doing so for years, if not decade. But everybody is different, so do try to monitor your health carefully (liver tests? consultation with your GP from time to time?). I personally drink kava at least 2-3 times a week (0.5 cup per session) and I have so far not suffered any adverse effects. But at the same time I am generally healthy and young.
If you are concerned about your liver, then you could perhaps consider (in addition to tests) trying taking milk thistle? Many people on this forum swear by it.

Do you think drinking noble everyday is ok?

I've drank kava daily for the best part of a decade now, and I'll admit, it hasn't been all noble kava. I've switched to known nobles, and yes if our track record here says anything it's that drinking kava daily is ok.

Do any of you drink everyday?

Yes! I do. Daily without fail.

How often do you drink and how much?

Daily, and I drink 55 grams powdered kava (not instant or micronized) made traditionally (knead and squeeze) in about 450ml of water.

Finally, glad to have you here. The more this forum grows, the more I know people are enjoying the beneficial effects of kava.

Wow Kapmcrunk. It's nice to hear from someone that has drank kava so long. I guess I just wanted some reassurance for keeping on with something that is new waters for me. Kava has become a nice addition to my routine.Like drinking coffee in the morning or like I used to drink soothing teas in the afternoon. I look forward to that time of the day I can unwind.Whether it remains a daily thing or not, I am glad I found it.There are so many out there who could benefit from its theraputic effects who have yet to discover it.
Thanks Henry G. for the tips.I went out and bought some milk thistle a little while ago.Just got some Mo'i and Mahakea from the mailbox so I'm good to go!!

It's why we do what we do, to spread the awesome of kava. Also @HeadHodge is right, never found a good reason to stop drinking kava.

Haha.I don't blame ya.Kava just seems to do a person better and better the longer you go along.
