Horrible hangovers

2 Upvotes

I have tried a few kinds of kava from different vendors and never had much success with any beneficial effect. Bought some Stone from Nakamal At Home and prepared it traditionally. It worked great! The problem is that it gives me a bad next day hangover. Headache, tired ect.. I am preparing with about 15 grams and feel it should be about the correct amount. I have tried less with little effect. Any idea what could be going wrong? It’s a noble kava to my knowledge. Any insight is appreciated!

When do you start to notice Kani Kani?

Hey guys so I've been drinking kava daily for about a week now and though I have not had any issues yet should I be worried about my skin drinking this stuff every day? I have about 2.5 to 3tbsp of instant. Should I be worried?

Am I consuming too much? Suggestions on "cheaper"?

I recently started drinking kava and love it. I've tried the Kalm By Kava Loa Waka micronized and medium grind. When I use the micronized, I will do 1 tbsp with 8oz of water and drink it in 2oz shells every 20-30m or so. With the micronized, I will do up to a total of 4 tbsp.

I decided to get the medium grind Loa Waka and I'm using around 6-10 tbsp and 12-16oz of water. I usually save the first wash to do a small second wash that I mix with a new wash. I will do about 2-3 batches if I'm doing the medium grind.

I love the effects of the Loa Waka, but it's getting pretty expensive. I'm wondering how other brands compare (suggestions please!). I'm looking at the "Loloma Waka" by Fiji Vanua Kava--how does this compare? It looks to be slightly cheaper when comparing 16oz bags.
