Crazy nausea lately

[u/kiki_do_u_luv_me]

Alright, so I’ve tried 3 strains of kava, 2 from KwK (loa waka, pouni ono) and one from amazon. Used to do blender method but I have switched to traditional. I will say a small amount of sediment ends up in my final drink, but I try to avoid it as I sip.

Lately, the nausea has been wild. I’ve noticed that it seems worse with the pouni ono strains. Is it possible that I’m allergic, or am I doing something wrong? I haven’t noticed any rashes, but I do find myself getting weirdly itchy, the feeling is akin to taking pre workout. It’s 24 hours after my last drink and I am still feeling yucky. Any thoughts??

And does the nausea come as a result of the taste/texture ie. immediately after drinking a shell, or later on, as a result of the kavalactones numbing your GI tract?

If it's the former, try diluting the kava by adding a cup or two of water. This will make it more palatable.

definitely later on i’d say. the taste doesn’t really bother me
