krunkover...advice?

I've been having a lot of fun getting nice and rooted lately, but I find I am super sluggish the next day.

With beer, water before bed will lessen the fuzz the next day. What about with Kava- any advice?

Also what does Bula! mean??

Thanks

Bula is like a greeting in Fiji...also kinda used like "cheers" when you have a shell.
...I've never really had any bad after effects from kava, but if i'm feelin a bit slower and sedated in the morning it usually passes after i eat and have coffee. A couple of occasions I've had to take a nap to get my normal energy back.

Had many a bad day the next. I always drink those fizzy Vit B tabs in a glass of water before i sleep & more importantly keep the water up, cant emphasise drinking water enough.

Maybe i'm getting too rooted when getting off the couch feels like climbing K2

I would try vitamin b12 and other B vitamins, try some ginseng or even kava with less DHK and DHM, If you get a good kava with a lot of Kavain but you like the kava with the DHK and DHM effects then mix it with the kava with the high Kavain content, mix different amounts till you find your happy spot, I do this all the time. People here in Hawaii, the ones that grow a lot of Isa a tuday kava, they will mix it will Hawaiian or Tongan to make the undesired effects less. I hope this helps, aloha.

Skywalker, you didn't mention what type of Kava you are chugging? The heavy weights like Koniak will have an effect. Also, I always take my Kava earlier in the day so I'm not krunked when I go to bed and I don't expect to wake up that way. You might look at your Kava schedule and move it up a few notches from bedtime. And there is always this, lay off the Kava for a few days. Those Kavalactones need to be purged once in a while (in my opinion). If none of those work for you, then coffee is my final answer (like Yepimonfire). I have at least 3 cups in the morning to get fired up in the morning. I can imagine the caffein and the Kavalactones in a wrestling match in the morning.

You know, i havent had much in the way of a kava hangover. I do have a hard time drinking much of it, tho. 3 short glasses is my max. How much does one have to drink to get a kavaover?

Anytime I need a boost or, especially to rehydrate, that's my go-to. Make sure it's as cold as possible without freezing. Perfect companion to a kava session.

Some trivia on this, i've read that British and Japanese military used coconut IVs for blood transfusions in WWII.

Sentiententity, I wouldn't change the 3 short glasses. Only drink as much as you need for the effects you are seeking. That is the best way to sidestep any potential side effects. That doesn't mean the other guys are overdoing it, there are lots of reasons that you might be Krunkover and they all bear inspection. That ice cold coconut juice looks really, really good. You could swig that after every shell.

Hey java man- I was drinking paradise Fijian waka. Mixed with a little paradise Hawaiian awa. I've got some boroguru in the mail from BKH coming soon.
Water before bed sure helped a bunch, thanks nemo. I study after work, and have my first shell around 9pm. my schedule won't really allow for shell-ing sooner.

Im not really sure what the difference between DHM and DHK is....but laying off the kava sounds like a bad idea:) I noticed I'm getting the spins at a certain point, hard to focus on anything. Thats probably a sign that I'm off the deep end a bit. But its still super fun.

just got 2X 150gm PK extracts in the mail. awwww yeaaahh

I also got some kind of a kava hangover with the paradise Fijian waka ..actually took me a whole day to get over it ..I had a lot of sediment in my brew which reading other posts may of been what got me ..I had about 5 heaping tablespoons in 2 cups of water. I didn't drink any water tho so maybe that was it
