You know the old saying, "When you and I are getting chased by a gator, I don't have to be faster than the gator ... I only need to be faster then you". 
That sounds quite strong, I get the head swimming thing quickly sometimes but the eyes never .. what strain and how many tablespoons of kava and how much water do you use? Do you use cold water?
Warm water usually. Not hot, just warm. I've been using nangol noble lately, and hanakapa.
I first noticed the salty taste about 6 weeks ago. I have not experienced the sensitivity to spicy or hot foods but that salty taste has been persistent. Even extra brushing and use of mouthwash, etc... does not take the salty taste away. I do get dry lips also, but that seems to worsen the colder the weather gets.
Interesting. I have yet to ease up on the kava...(too damn nice). but I'm going to try tonight
I use warm too because I feel like it's more efficient, I really want to try both of those strains
I have Honokane Ai and KWK Borongoru right now.
Probabyl 8 ounces at a time, maybe twelve. What are you kneading with?I use warm too because I feel like it's more efficient, I really want to try both of those strains
I keep seeing people say "that thick" but mine is never thick, a quarter cup of kava to how much water?
I use a Kavafied Strainer Bag. I generally use about 12oz warm water max because I find it hard to knead with less .. I've used up to 6 tablespoons of kava which is over 1/4cup and I've never had anything I would consider more than "frothy" consistency. Like I guess imagine a coffee with some creamer stirred in.
