So after countless hours on net researching kava throughly... I decided to give it a shot. Partly to help me cut down on my alcohol intake.
I have always had issues with bottle friend there and he has ruined a few important events in my life. I am big believer in harm reduction so I am trying use Kava to significantly reduce its use. So so far social events only and 2 or 3 glasses of wine. So far so good.
So kava... I have tried Hawain variety most popular brand sold on kava.com preparing it both traditional way as well as blending it as well as using kava gurus method. Very little effect. To work out reverse tolerance used for a month.
Ok recently bought Borugu from Kalm with kava. currently I prepare it by blasting it with soy lethecin in hot not boiling water about 4 tbs for 12 ounces for 1 serving.Drink about 2 of those.
Do feel effects but almost always feel super lethargic and quite depressed next day. Sometimes nauseous.
One time I did about half a cup of the root and holy smokes I was sick and messed the following day.
Kind worried I am doing something wrong and causing damage.
But do not want to give up just yet.

Ditto for the heavy drinker part. It is embarrassing and regretful to be "messed up" on special occasions and yet that is when the wine flows most freely. Double conundrum. I don't think you are messing yourself up with any of the kavas you have tried. Kalm with Kava is a good kava and well liked by many in the members, however you may not like heavy Kavas or your body doesn't react well to them. Keep going with the Headier Kavas. Try some micronized if you haven't already. I think Moi, Nene, and Mahakea should be on your micronized list. They are very different all 3 of them. And yet there effects are not overwhelming. By the way, you should at least notice that you are sleeping better. Let us know on the sleep thing.
