Kava Curious
You're probably sick of seeing posts from me, just kidding, but really I've made a few posts about derma/rash popping up. Lately I've gotten it under control and it seems to be getting better each day and I have gotten back to my regular desired dose. First of all I use 12-18 tablespoons of medium grind waka. For every 3-5 tablespoons is a rinse in approx 28-33 oz of water in a small mixing bowl. I drink 3-5 of those a night and they're very potent. I cut back/halved that dose for three days and it got worse, red burning shoulders, flakes, torso, scaly arms and hands and even a bit of a rash. Here's what I am doing now, without cutting back or even switching.
*Eating way more calories. I eat a lot more fats, including coconut oil and grass fed butter.
*Drinking a lot of water, before, during and after. The reason the dreaded kava derm caught up to me was I wasn't drinking electrolytes after. Throughout summer I was drinking mineral water with and after my rinses. Having started doing this again has really helped and above all,
*Lathering up with the right lotion.
Redness is going down, irritation as well and my skin is smoother then it has been in weeks.
