kava sickness

[kl.pep4848]

I wanted to see if others  have had the same problem...

I was on my 3rd shell of 9 year root tonight, and ended up throwing up. I'm finding the taste unbearable now( not only the 9 year root, but all kava's), and it's a process to try and down the liquid. Keep in mind I have been sick lately, so that might have something to do with it. This is my first time puking on Kava, but it kind of worries me that maybe i've overdone it the last few months.

I've been mixing the kava with juice or pop-something to take the taste away, but i still puked. Maybe i'll give it a week break or so and then brew up a batch to see if I can down it.

Wow I am doing the exact same thing right now! Not the break though lol. But I'm mixi g it with oj because for some reason I can't take the taste tonight. I think the reason is because last night I drank sooooo much kava and instant and woke up today with a kava hangover that is still here a bit. It's nothing to worry about really. It has happened to me before. All goes back to normal

Pop something? Soda pop?



I see all kinds of bad here. I wouldn't drink kava, especially something as heavy hitting as Isa, when I'm sick. That's just asking for it.

I actually find great relief with java when I'm sick. It seems to help with my symptoms. But it is probably different for everyone since our body's all work a bit different

A resounding yes to this. If you over-do it you will have to work your way back through your aversion. When I was drinking tudei I would literally shake with anxiety before I poured it down the ole gullet. You can work back through it and be just fine, but yes this can and will happen when we are over doing it.

I think any time you throw up from something your body starts trying to keep you from doing it again. Just the smell of Captain Morgan's spiced rum makes me want to toss my cookies.



I've thrown up a couple times from kava. Later the thought of trying again made me feel a little queasy. I took a smidge of a break then jumped back in and was good to go.

Another thing I have found helpful is to eat a piece of toast when you start to feel sick. I don't think it hinders the krunk in any way. In fact I think it sometimes boosts the krunk

thanks guys...i thought i'd have to quit kava, but i'll just dry out for a bit and then hit the shells again.

It's just the kava gods making sure you stay loyal
