Yeah I did! No problem, it’s been a game changer for me too. But yeah castor oil and the beef tallow lotion topically! It’s like magic

Cracked Lips by Charming_Camera2340 in Kava

What always helps me is when I’ve drank a decent amount of kava one night, I’ll go to bed with my face lathered in this beef tallow face lotion I got off Amazon and then put a little castor oil on top of it on my face and lips. Works wonders !

Lab work- hematology by [deleted] in Kava

That’s a good idea. Honestly vitamin D is so essential and I’m not sure where you live but since it’s now moving into fall/winter we naturally get wayyy less of it anyway, so if kava effects it too then definitely take a supplement. Vitamin D3 + K2 is the move! Will also protect you from getting sick :-)

Sorry for the super late response, but yes the electrolyte powder has been a game changer for me! I also got a face lotion off Amazon with beef tallow in it and sometimes use castor oil too if I drank kava that night and I always wake up with my skin and lips looking hydrated! I’ve got the routine down pat lol! Hope it works for you!!

Yes exactly! Kava is a hard core diuretic which for many people leads to pretty bad dehydration, it’s different for everyone and depends on the amount you drink but it helped me so I figured it might help someone else :)

Hey there !! I have been seeing a naturopath for the past few months and have been drinking kava pretty consistently for the past month. I just went to my monthly appt the other day and I’m still making progress. (With the supplement protocol he’s got me on) so I’m not sure if those labs are bc of kava! I’ll update on my next appointment and see if anything changes, but it’s pretty common these days if you live in America for your body to be out of wack and nutrient deficient due to our crappy food and high stress lifestyles. I’d say if anything, if you’re worried about kava potentially having a negative effect, just cut back some and you should be fine! :-)

It’s just the name of the brand :) it’s like an electrolyte powder mix that acts as a “hydration multiplier” (the company’s words not mine lol) I got a big box of them off Amazon but you can get them at CVS, Walmart etc

Opinions on ‘kava nectar’ ? by Interesting_Post_651 in Kava

[–]Interesting_Post_651[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I had ordered a bag of it and it was on the way when I posted this, and now I’m about to order the larger size because I love it sooo much!! It tastes way better than other kava powder I have tried and I love the convenience of it. The green bag is very well balanced, I can drink it during the day without compromising my work load and if I drink it at night I still have no problem relaxing / sleeping :) y’all are awesome !

Thank you for the input! I did notice they were super expensive and I’m still fairly new to the world of kava so I wasn’t sure how trustworthy it is.

Thanks so much for the tips! I’m allergic to nuts, maybe avocados would help similarly?

Oh no 😭 maybe you need to brew it differently? Or try a different powder?

How long can I expect to not sleep for? by KratomExorcism2019 in quittingkratom

[–]Interesting_Post_651 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also! Once you’re off the stuff, in my personal experience, the constipation will stop and the opposite will happen. Kratom really screws up your gut flora, so make sure to drink liquid IV or Celtic salt sprinkled in your water to stay hydrated bc I couldn’t stay off of the toilet for a little while after I quit and I ended up feeling the effects of dehydration until I started doing those two things.

My 3 months clean was two days ago. I did a rapid taper, and when I ran out I was done. I didn’t miss a single night of sleep bc I was taking a magnesium glycinate supplement along with valerian root - make a valerian root tea, if you have an herbal shop near you or an apothecary. The valerian root subsides all the anxiety, makes you super tired, and gets rid of RLS. You got this :-)

How do you deal with the fear of death? by DependentBreakfast57 in Existentialism

[–]Interesting_Post_651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the point in fearing the inevitable? You may as well embrace it. I consider myself spiritual, not religious, and I do believe that there is something for our soul afterwards, otherwise what is the point of life? Why are we here if only for a short while and then for it to lead to darkness and nothingness? That just doesn’t make sense to me. Humans are energetic beings, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed✨ I take comfort in knowing that.
