Ok, this is really strange thing to do but I wonder if it works or it's just a placebo effect.
After a few shells (3 or so), when the head effects start, scrape you tongue with a toothbrush (obviously no toothpaste) and rinse with mouth wash before your next shell.
Oddly enough, it makes the kava feel stronger. I got this idea from reading some info on chewing Salvia leaves. Scraping your tongue removes dead cells, allowing the kava to be absorbed more.
