    I love drinking kava, 20 years now about 4 or 5 times a week. I feel great at 70. No pains or aches.
    I love the tradition, though I mostly drink on my own. There is zero addiction. I occasionally run out for a few weeks, no prob.
    Its truly a friend, a noble plant and a privilige to drink. Thanks for this video presentation. Jesse.

But with a little sensible timing and moderation, I've also cared for children, done housework, driven to do grocery shopping, socialised and gotten plenty of cruisey exercise. It really is such a miraculous root. There have been no downsides for me whatsoever. Thanks for creating this.

    • @VegieBBr
      @VegieBBr Před rokem

      This is very impractical way of making it. Look into traditional prep way, or something like the AluBall Pro or kalmpouch. The way in vid is very wasteful and could have got much much much more out of root instead of just letting it sit for 10-20min and using a French press. I've been using it regularly since 2006 and almost find the way it's done in video offensive in its wastefulness tbh .. but atleast it's bringing awareness of kava to people 😊

      I completely agree. The kneading and bag method yields a much stronger and powerful brew. I’ve tried the concentrated powder and shake/blender method, but have found that the process of kneading for about 10 minutes gets me in the right mindset prior to ingesting. Kava isn’t cheap either so I like to literally “squeeze “ every little kavalactone I can out of each brew. Enjoy your creations either way. There are many paths to a good thing.

      Kava Kalm has an instant version as well, which dissolves better and is less gritty. I just got it yesterday and have made it twice. So far, so good. I like that it saves brewing time. I add it to a brewed hot herbal fruit tea (blend it with a milk frother), then cool it with frozen fruit chunks (pineapple or mango), large ice cubes or frozen fruit juice; or some combination of those. The taste is bareable, but if you have problems drinking thick liquids (ice cubes help thin it) or odd flavors, I'd steer clear.
      It does help with my severe back pain, so it's worth it for me.

I have never done kava I have done opiates ( in hospitals from accidents and the like) weed, alcohol, cigarettes, gabapentin, Adderall, mushrooms, lsd never heroin or meth or really ever any coke. The point being there are only a few drugs that I would say aren't addictive and that's psychedelics.

    I have difficulty with sleep cycles and it is so wearing, I feel better when I sleep at night, but sometimes I start sleeping just a few hours and then up 24 or more hours. I asked my physician for med and I was given gabapentin for a fracture that caused nerve pain. And it helped me sleep and I appreciated the break from the pain and the full night's sleep but to take as something to me balance out my days and nights gabapentin is a powerful drug. Leaves me dragging and goofy, hungover on the med and I talk to Drs but they keep me on gabapentin. I had chocolates for a while that really helped me to keep good sleeping hours but the cost and drive to get the chocolates is too much. The Kava sounds perfect. And will aide in the quality of sleep from what I hear you saying. Kratom has been helpful also but I am going to try Kava Kava .

    Been using it for years ( at least 25 )...I would say this is all good information, but I’d caution one has yet to try it to not expect quite the dramatic level of effect implied here. The data is accurate any while it’s true that experience is both dose dependent and varies from person to person, I’d say the most common experience is milder. But it’s still might provide some people with more intense experience and others with much less.

If I had to compare it to something I would compare it to high doses of CBD. Very surprisingly nice experience and I think I will be using it permanently.

    People say its so gross, but it really isn't very bad. Kratom is way worse tasting comparitively. I like to combine the two, also snort a little Kanna depending on the brand. Combining as in doing them in the same time frame, not combining the ingredients into one drink. As of right now I still prefer Kratom, but I'm open to that changing.

      did you strain it? you're not suppose to drink the powder. Get a strainer bag put the kava root powder in it about 3.5 to 1 water/kava ratio, squeeze it into a bowl and keep drenching it squeezing drenching it squeezing it with your hands... for about 8-10 minutes. What is left is the kava drink without the powder but all the active ingredient(s). Still tastes really bitter but way better than drinking it with the powder. Plus drinking the powder can cause gastrointestinal pain.

I stir it and I cover it and leave it, I stir it 2 times a day every day for 3 days them I strain it using 2 different strainers. I get all the bigger particles out and put those in a strainer bag and squeeze it till all liquid is out. Then I use a reusable coffee filter to strain it all even more. Then I squeeze the powder slop lol. And it makes about a pint and it is fairly strong. My wife uses it and kratom for tooth pain. And I use both to help me sleep. And we use old babyfood jars. It's a good amount not to much not to little.

Then take a cup of fine kava root powder get the hottest water from your tap and put kava in cup add warm/hot water to cup make sure after it's all mixed well that it's not super thick you want it kinda thin, put lid on hold cap closed it will pop if you dont lol shake it vigorously for 2 minutes let it sit for 10 minutes then shake again for 2 minutes. Strain in a muslin bag. Make sure you add about a extra cup/8 oz of warm water after you poor it into the bag that's in a large glass bowl add the last cup of water to shaker cup to get as much kava out of the shaker cup as you can then poor it in bag. And hold the top of bag closed really well twist it a few times at the top. And with the other hand kneed the bag in the bowl then pull it out and kneed it over the bowl till all water comes out of the bag/ kava. And then kneed it in the water again then kneed over bowl again. Take all the kava root and put it in a bowl in the freezer over night it can be used 2 times to make good kava. It helps pull the rest of the kavalactones out of the root. Then poor the mud water in a container with a tight fitting lid. in the fridge chill it then I would drink about 4-8 oz before bed. And make sure you mix the container really well before every time you poor a glass you want all the stuff on the bottom mixed in or you wont get the full affects. You will find out how much you personally need. So as far as the affects it will numb your mouth a good bit that is normal. It's why my wife drinks kava. It all hits fairly quick And you will start to feel very relaxed. I would go to bed when you feel it kick in. You will know when it hits you. There are a ton of good videos on how to prep it, all the ways work. But for me my way is the best. It makes very strong kava and non of it goes to waist and depending on how often you drink it it will last a few days.

    Thank you for this excellent video explaining kava kava in an extensive and useful way. I was looking for a refresher so that I could consider its usage once again, but this time as a possible way to wean back my crippling kratom addiction.10 years ago there was very little truthful information to be found when I started taking kratom, but what Was said was identical to this. In fact I tried kava kava at the very same point in time but could Not find a way to make it palatable whatsoever. Is there a reason why this can't be taken in the same "toss & wash" fashion as kratom is? It seems like a terrible waste to filter the powder if consuming it isn't damaging in any way. As a horrifically addicted kratom user I look at this expensive product and see nothing but waste here. When I started kratom I'd been happily drinking for at least 20 years and had no intention of stopping. Kratom literally Kicked me off of it slowly but surely-and man, I sure do NOT miss it's hangovers and bloating grossness- but it did not take me long to become Absolutely physically addicted to the kratom powder itself. The honeymoon ended quite quickly but the physical need made it so I couldn't sleep 8 hours without waking up in hell. The main meds I was given for meniscus surgery worked fine before kratom, but surgery on my other knee last February found me screaming in pain before I even woke up because my heavy kratom use killed its effects. We need Truth out there, not lies to prevent a ban.
    I am absolutely Against the government controlling ANY drug and I fully feel that kratom could help billions of people while justly destroying pharmaceutical corporations as they deserve, but for the first time in my life I am Actually addicted and have been controlled by this substance for 10 years now and it's a goddamn nightmare. There are ways to defend kratom without misleading otherwise unaddicted people into the dictatorship I, and millions of others, live under-who otherwise could have made better and more informed introductory decisions. I'm finally ready to locate something like kava kava that will take my hand and lead me away from those all day long additional dosages that keep me at this kilo-a-month level of imprisonment.
    Thanks to forums like Reddit people now have access to the truth, and thanks to people like you we have informed choices to make about possible alternatives. Thank you.
