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.
Hi sir so i see this helps you with pain aswell was just wondering what type of work did you do for a living?
@@mrgalindo1980I work out a lot always have pain when I take this it truly does help
Kava has helped me a lot with quitting alcohol. Great video!
how long did it take, i'm hoping this helps me kick the booze habit
The Introverted C.O. Well for me it’s that buzz you get from 4 good shots except clear headed
The Introverted C.O. i'm not sure how long it'll take, but it will be effective, kava kava and alcohol affect similar receptors in the brain, therefore taking kava instead of alcohol will produce a similar effect and help you to kick the bottle. good luck man
Currently doing the same
I'm hoping to get off my prescription benzos. (Valium, Klonopin,Ativan,Xanax ETC.)
I've been drinking kava all weekend thus far and I really relate to that desire to chill in nature. 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.
I dig it!!
What dosage do you use and do you dose just once or multiple time?
@@i.m.9583 Yeah, I'd like to know this as well. Yesterday I placed my first order for 4 oz of it, to try it out. There's not a lot of specific information out there. Most of the information seems pretty ambiguous.
@@pumpkinheadghoul I use 40-50g , 4 heaping tablespoons or so for a session. I drink first half quickly, then space out the rest into. 2-3 chuggs at a time every 20-40min. Traditional prep way or AluBall Pro recently
@@VegieBBr I appreciate that info. After I received my order, I made up a batch and drank it, and I will admit, it was quite effective. However, this stuff just really isn't for me. I love a euphoric buzz, but this stuff to me feels like a cross between a couple of shots of hard alcohol and a couple of hits of strong weed. Neither of which is really my think anymore. I tend to lean towards the euphoric narcotic like buzz I get from Kratom.
It would be good to mention that kava kava has a reverse tolerance. Meaning that as you take it regularly, you will actually need to consume less to get more out of it 😊
Really? 😮 wow
I just drank 1/3 cup of kava root and your vibes right now are off the chart. Good video.
ABSOLUTELY love your French Press method. Going to try it ASAP. Fantastic video.
Jesse, thank you so much for your video presentation on this wonderful herb! I love drinking Kava Kava tea and recommend it to people with anxiety, stress, insomnia and depression. But I never knew about preparing without boiling now I love it even more and can't wait to make some again! You've up'd my herb game! Salud!
I get mild empathogenic effects from kava (increased empathy) as well as a sense that I am in a state of consciousness slightly more elevated. Alcohol is the complete opposite of spirituality in my book, same with other hard drugs like heroin, meth, pills, etc. Kava is a plant medicine big time, it saved my life.
What if kava was given to a socio/psychopath would it bring them any real empathetic effects? I'm genuinely curious about this. 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. But kava seems to genuinely make people immediately empathetic. people who normally don't give a fuck about others are suddenly caring People from the videos I see and the reviews which aside from psychedelics I don't know of things that can man you feel Empathy
@@bigmoneymandan360 Kava can act as an excellent social lubricant, though it's hard to call it a true empathogen and I wouldn't ingest it strictly for that purpose. I would say that it can loosen social inhibitions in the same way functional doses of other anxiety-relieving compounds can. That's different from the instantaneous and effortless sense of deep connection one feels on a compound like MDMA.
@@Pellagrah I agree I was being a little dramatic with the psychopath analogy. But yah it's probably giving feelings of calm and relaxation leading to the perception of a deeper connection.
Fantastic video man! Looking forward to trying it
Thanks for this video. It has really helped silence the fear of liver damage. I love kava kava.
Best channel video I've seen on Kava.
The numbing effect is great for sore throat
@The Insufferable Tool a few minutes, you’d have to continuously drink it for the effects. I suggest getting hard candies with kava for this purpose as they last longer and coat your mouth and throat
great info and great presentation/energy Jesse! Im very excited to try some kava kava. will be using your links ✅
awesome video, thanks so much!
Just now finding out about Kava, I ordered some earlier today but i am saving this vid. Love the energy you give to this video. Thank you!
Thanks!!
Great and informative video. Thank You
Another wonderful video, thanks. I have decided to try some Kava Kava! I do like that you sometimes 'step outside' of the Wim Hof Method world and comment on related subjects.
Very informative! Thanks
I just recently purchased some and had absolutely no idea what it was! Thank you so much for the information!! I’m excited for it to get here so I can try it!
You bought it... then you found out what it was?
Remind me to sell you ANYTHING.
So how did it go?
@@stormchaser1423 right!? That stuff’s not cheap!
Learned about Kava while living in Hawaii. In Hawaiian it's called 'awa, and you can find it in a lot of local places. If you're ever in Honolulu, try out Fiji Kava Bar Honolulu! The owner, Daya, has been selling his kava for 20 years there!
this was a very well put together video i didnt get bored at all. i want to try some
Never heard of this. I'll definitely give it a shot!
Great video,,, very informative. I just ordered some noble root kavakava to try in the drink form after having mixed success with capsules from the health food store- hoping the drink will land a better punch.
kava kava for president
I enjoy your videos. Thanks. I used your link to order some quality Kava! Hopefully it will help me relax and sleep better!
Thank you, my friend! Cheers!
Hello and Thanks a million for the practical method of making Kava. This is the perfect video to watch after you've only seen the traditional method. Peace.
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 😊
Thanks man, I’ll give it a try!
Thanks for a great breakdown. I have been researching different alternatives to alcohol. Thanks again oss 👊🏼🙏🏼
Was going to google natural muscle relaxers. Been having some back spasms. Jesse the mind reader! I will have to check this out. Thanks for posting.
Wow! What are the chances?! I'd also recommend magnesium, lots of water, and some quality sleep for spasms too. But Kava will have you feeling great fast ;)
Midwestern Method Hope so, just ordered the pills from your link. Already take some magnesium and drink plenty of water. I will let you know what I think when I get the kava and try it. Thanks again.
@@donindri awesome!!! Thanks for using my link!! I think it you're going to like it!
Great video🤙🤙 This is definitely my new alcohol alternative, Just received my order today & made a few cups, feeling great.. To me it’s like that buzz you get from 3-4 shots of alcohol without the brain fog
And no hangover! :)
Midwestern Method actually felt refreshed👍 That’s never happened with alcohol 😂
Absolutely great video. Very informative. I've just recently purchased my first batch. Unfortunately I haven't tried it yet. But I'm a very big into kratom so I'm looking forward to trying kava.
Compare how they make your body feel.. not the actual high but just how you feel physically. Tell me kava doesn't feel a lot more natural than kratom. Kratom almost makes you feel dirty.. just my opinion..
Same here but I’ve heard there is two strains of kava and I just want to feel relaxed and not be in the couch for hours before I can do something any widows to how much to mix?.
Omg bro 😭 I don't have too take pharmacy drugs too stay asleep !!!!! Glad you told me about it !!!
Great video on kava mate, love your presentation style.
Just got myself some kava caps. Cheers!
PS look into coca tea also, very nice natural stimulant.
Awesome!! Thanks!
Link?
Thank you , I am going to give this a shot,it's all about time in parasympathetic ,and a positive mind change ,happy healthy and strong is the new me, again thank you ,and WHM ,and the ability to unlock and use the most amazing creation created,our mind and soul
Go for it, my friend!! :) Stay awesome, Brandon!
Thank you for this. I struggle with debilitating anxiety but my anxiety is also stopping me from just trying this lol!
Also, do you still use these brands or do you currently use different ones?
Great video. I didn't know that hot water would dilute the affects of it. Thanks for the video! Trying it with cold water later today.
Is adding sweetener, like stevia or maple syrup, okay. Would it affect the kavalactones? Do you think it would be more palatable. I’m currently trying it via capsules.
Kava helps me alot with anxiety and stress. Kalm with kava, bula kava house, Fiji vanua kava are some of the best vendors
I use the Kavafied brand of Alu Ball and Shaker; works great and very convenient and portable. Cheers!
And, I enjoy the earthy taste.
Jesse - great video and thanks for sharing kava wisdom. One small thing: you are leaving so many wonderful kavalactones in your kava by not kneading/straining. If you haven't tried this method before, I promise you you'll be blown away. It's absolutely worth the 5-10 bucks for a strainer bag.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the tip!! I'll have to try it and do another review!
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.
@@patdagon2446 how do you clean ur strainer bag, just made first batch
@@evanhall7030 I just turn it inside out and get as much out by hand then rinse and soak the bag in cold water if need be. I don’t really clean it with soap or anything. Just let it air dry and give it a good rinse each time.
I got a tip from a doctor to try this to try to reduce my alcohol usage. I completely quit alcohol for 6 months last year because I was smoking weed, but that's illegal here too. Hopefully Kava can help me out. I'm going to order some tomorrow.
Thank you so much for this video! Just ordered it for the first time I can't wait to try it
Wow. Jesse to Jesse. This video popped up on my recommend list. Synchronicity. I should've waited, I bought a extract capsules from Amazon.
Its basically the best name ever, isn't it? :)
Apparently the issue was with using the bark. The root is deemed safe yet do not consume with alcohol.
Jesse, great stuff! I have tried this herb on and off for years as well. And also just to let people know there are many many Kava bars in Florida. Particularly down in south Florida, it's a very vibrant culture down there. I believe I was told at one point there are more Kava bars in Florida than any other place including the Pacific islands. Not sure if it's true or not.
It’s a place in Tallahassee called honest living yea house they have that and kratom
@@anriquemosley7514 almost every kava bar I've been to has kratom as well. South Florida has 100s of kava /kratom bars. There is at least 1 in each town. In Delray Beach there is like 20 just in that city lol
It’s because South Florida is like the recovery capital of the US. There are so many rehabs and facilities and halfway houses.
I busted Kava based Jeese's video. I am using Kava Kalm the micro grounded version, just because it is so easy to make. Having very good results, and sleeping so much better. Kava Calm is a very good company to order from. Thank you Jesse for this video.
AWESOME!!!!
I really like the idea of using the French press and the idea of a kava kava bar is in my vision for a future endeavor. I thought you did a great video very informative and you did a very very good job and making the video so upbeat and positive I have been taking kava kava again recently. I had taken it then tincture Farm years and years ago. Now that I am older seems to have a better effect it is. I have been sleeping better lately after taking kava kava before bed thank you so much oh man
Thank you for the trip you have explained to us…sounds amazing …non habit forming not addictive sounds like heaven…thank you for the introduction…
It can be mentally, as with anything. But physically no withdrawals ime imo
I’m going to try it out. My anxiety levels are regularly intolerable. Bottoms up!! Lol
Cheers!!! :)
Try "kratom" as well it will change your life
@@QiLow105 Unless you have an addictive personality. Then absolutely do not try kratom.
How is your anxiety, and how r u?
Anyone can send me link where to buy product
Hola, buen video. interesante la raiz de kava kava, me gustaria probarlo.
Kava has helped me tremedously.
Please elaborate thank you :)
Can you describe in what way please?
Thanks! I've been taking L-theanine ever since seeing your video about it. Cant wait to try kava kava now!
I think you'll like it!!! :) :) :)
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 . Thank you for the time you took to make this video and showing the mix . I feel confident that I will benefit from the Kava.
in addition I meant to mention, the gabapentin is an antiseizure med, I didn't know that at first, I knew it to treat neuropathy but it really is a hard hit on the brain. Not something I feel ok taking. I am thinking the kava will get me insync as the THC did and skip a few days until I need to take again to keep me in a routine. Med are so harsh,,helpful sometimes but I am better with an herb .
@@charlenee2751how did it go? What's your experience so far? Has tour sleep cycle recovered?
Tried a kava gummies recently and am very excited to try it again. I ordered one of your recommendations and look forward to using it. It will be interesting to compare eating it vs drinking it. Never really experienced this type of feeling before. As someone who is experienced with all types of substances this is the only one that actually made me feel happy. 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.
Interesting!! I've never tried the gummies before! Thanks for your comment!
Yeah! I found the gummies at the shop I buy CBD products from and I sure am glad I took a chance on them. 😁
@@OfDeath hello what brand are the gummies please !!!
@@angeldaviani8678 Psilly was the brand. But I warn you. I tried two different websites to buy them and both were scams and had to cancel my credit card and wait a week for a new one. So I gave up on trying to find them.
@@OfDeath that's magic mushrooms... Not kava...
Start yesterday , capsules and tea. I can feel good effects
Sorry, but capsules and tea is mostly a snake oil). Buy powdered noble kava root
@@alexanderrezvoi7050 there are some brands that are legit (wild harvest) but you're right, very rare.
i have been taking kratera for a few years and i think it must be something to add on.
I mix my kava with coconut bai’s. Very tasty then! And I think the lipids increase the effect.
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.
Nice, warm presentation ( bet you drank a little before you taped)
Its better to strain the kava with a cheese cloth with the water Uso nice video❤️
I've been putting about half cup to a cup of kava in a pint glass add some lemon juice and warm water. 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.
Hi Coley...I'm wondering if you can share some more info with me about the affect it has on your sleep/the best way for it to help you sleep...thank you 🙂
@@theceej100 so it really helps with a lot. So first I would get a shaker cup for making protein shakes the ones with the solid ball inside. 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.
@@theceej100 if you have anymore questions feel free to ask me. I will gladly help. Especially if I worded something weird or you dont understand something j said.
I have the same brand. Very good stuff.
I know that they strain it .. but I got to thinking .. well when i took the capsules I was taking the whole ground root .. so I am OK with the recipe I came up with .. thought I would share ..
Take a Cup .. put a tablespoon of Cacao cold press powder
then stuff with Marshmallows
Pour hot water over mixture then stir in tablespoon of Kava powder
This helps mask that bitter .. I mix my Cacao Powder with Coconut powder milk ..
think you might like it this way ,...
only bad thing is the marshmallows .. but oh well ..processed sugars alittle will not hurt but your friend might like it this way
Nice! Thanks! I still advise against keeping the grinds in your tea, but to each, her own! ;)
@@JesseCoomer When you think about ti when you take those gel caps you are taking whole root
Just a thought .. but when i used it for Moms dementia i do think it did make the effects last longer .. sometimes she stayed calmer up to 3 days
Sulu ni yaqona = kava straining cloth (fijian language) read FIJI TIMES search TH-cam FIJI YAQONA HARVEST to see how harvested ancient way if It didn't come from a village and it was cash cropped it is garbage
It brightens your brain, you don't feel muffled mentally, just bright and calm. Was used originally for muscle pain. It doesn't help you sleep by any means; if it does, that's completely psychological.
I think the taste is quite good as a tea ..I mix it with lemon water and mitramade kratom drinks..tasty!
Hey man just bought some kava for the first time going to try it tomorrow morning but ive been researching and watching a lot of videos on it to see how i should make and take it. Ive got to say this has been the most helpful and very well made video. Love the vibes and the attitude seem like a chill dude keep it up. Was going to ask what is like the recommended dosage for 1 person cuz idk if i should be drinking it like a beer or if its more like kratom or whatever just lmk if you have the chance thanks man! 🙏
If you got the brand I use, try starting with a tablespoon. Of course, follow the instructions if they are provided. There will be a point of diminishing returns

I just discovered Kava what a heavenly herb im so thankful
How do you feel after drinking it? Would love some feedback :)
@@elisabethedjibia8166 makes you tongue numb and give you a nice buzz try it and no side effects next day
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.
If I mix up a big batch but will not drink it all in one sitting, will it keep in the fridge? For how long do you think? Thanks for your video! Your smile is infectious. :)
I was drinking tea and not feeling it and I think it was because I was boiling it like what you were saying so I appreciate the note on that so I tried Gaia herbs Kava Kava in pill form.
Someone gave me some at a tea bar. I knew it would make my mouth numb. But it was still suprising. Like I just got back from the dentist...
Definitely felt something. Considering it now.
I'm having my first glass of it and I was also really surprised at how strong the numbing is!
I've tried kava and for whatever reason it just does not agree with me. Great video brother
Spiritually Kava helps you meditate and it opens your third eye. I add spices and honey and coconut milk. Try adding cinnamon and cardamon or sometimes I add quality caocao. My husband just found your channel after I gave him some kava I told him to look up benefits. We are in northern Indiana maybe you are too? I’ve used it for years and I give it my clients during their quantum healings.
Fellow Hoosier! I'm in the Souther tip of the state. Nice to meet you :)
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.
I was addicted to kratom as well. Only took me a few months was taking it daily for about a year. Look up MaliMalz TH-cam channel she has an all natural opiate withdrawal protocol mainly using vitamin c to reduce withdrawal symptoms by 70-80%. I can attest it DOES work. I am over two weeks clean 🙏🏻
Hey Jesse
Thanx for the great info
I have a friend sending me some from SAMOA
and never tried it??????
Mr. BILL! Ha!! Your profile picture takes me back!! And I hope you love Kava as much as I do!
I really loved the Cicadas you had in the background
Miss those here on the coast
Thanx man
You can strain it through a silk cloth.
I drink a bit every night before bed.
the ROOT of happiness and relaxation man, the ROOT
Would this help with tremors and tinnitus? Thank you
I've bought two bags of Kava Kava. Drank it everyday for weeks. Tried adding more kava to each brew. Besides my mouth going totally numb I didn't feel anything.
Chad Hoover i heard you are supposed to take it on an empyt stomach. Also, what brand did you use?
@@rich1110 Ya I tried it on an empty stomach. I tried everything because I spent all that money and really wanted it to work. I bought Kava Supreme from Kavafied. Even got the shaker.
Chad Hoover damn, that’s unfortunate. I just bought some Kalm with Kava a few days ago, expecting it in a few days. Really hope this stuff works.
The kava I get off my Tongan workmate from his home country, it's alot darker brown in the water than this video. The kava in the pack in this video is much more processed. If you want really potent kava u want to get it in plain package where u can still see some of the roots.
great vid, informative, thanks !
1 question. you said the longer you leave it in the stronger it gets. if you were to leave it in for like, an entire day, would it then be incredibly strong?
Yes
Thanks for your comment!!
@@JesseCoomer interesting ok. so, if you left it in for a long time and it was very strong, you could potentially stretch a bag longer then and get more bang for your buck then?
how long have you left yours in before?
and welcome ! :)
Got some through your link and enjoy it. Tastes awful😩 but is worth the effort to drink. Had some before an ice bath last night.
LOL Yes, sorry about the taste!! You get used to it! Ha!
@@JesseCoomer have you ever tried Kratom? Does it taste worse then that?
@@jesssiegman8881 never tried Kratom but I hear it tastes a little less bad :)
@@JesseCoomer I've been taking kratom for a year and got use to the taste after a few sessions. I just got some kava for the first time in the mail today. Gonna try it tomorrow on an empty stomach. Thanks for the tips
Try adding sweetened lemon juice, honey or any fruit flavoring to give kava and Kratom a better taste ✌
I was so hyped about kava a few years ago and researched it to death before buying a decent sized bag. I could not even get down 3 gulps of that stuff. I tried blending it up with peanut butter and every strong-flavored thing I could find and I had to dump it each time. I read that instant kava has a much lighter flavor, so I'm going to look into that and try again. Wish me luck!
They have kava drops so you can just take a drop and be done
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.
Interesting. I love a French press but haven't tried it with kava as the folks on the kava reddit sub say it doesn't work. Looks like it does. Gonna give it a shot. I'm in Wisconsin after all so should be doing things the Midwestern way😉
🙌😜❤
Great video, I know you said follow the dosage instructions on the package, but my package doesn’t have any, so what would you recommend for a beginner?
Do not drink it alone drink it w friends sing songs tell stories pay the grog farmer
@The Insufferable Tool thanks mate. I did two. Lovely!!
That's one BIG flick ;)
Thanks for the great explanation. I couldn’t find the powder Kava at a local vitamin store, they did have a small bottle of “liquid” Kava. You consume it under the tongue. Any thoughts on this kind of kava consumption? I’m guessing the powder is better. I haven’t tried it yet.
All of them.are pretty good. I think it just depends on personal preference
Thanks!
Buy a kilo make certain it has not been around microwaves and not been fumigated on export
Hey Jesse, Great video! would love for you to experience Nano Kava! 1ml provides the same amount of kavalactones as a 6oz shell! Nanotechnology is at the heart of it!
Kava and kratom make a great combo. I've been using kava for a few years off and on. I plan on using it a lot more from now on. It really helps me with my back pain and my head aches.
I have been taking kratom 4+ yrs and love it. Tonight I just took my 1st shot of kava...I am pretty nervous but hope that all the positive I am seeing in the comments rings true for my experience 🙏
@@Dana-eo5to ❓❓
@@nocapitals9833 Hope Dana didn't have a bad reaction lol now im kinda nervous to take my first dosage!
@@Dana-eo5to update?
@@Dana-eo5to does Kava have the same withdrawal effects as Kratom?
I am new to kava. can u suggest to me is there anything similar effect like wakacon lawena? They are out of business right?
I love this stuff, but don’t drink it on an empty stomach, it will really mess you up lol. I learned the hard way
Mess you up how?
only on empty stomach, man. looks like you don't strain it.
What can be added to make it taste better?
Hey great video! Question: I use the aluball , and have tried some of kavafied root powder ( BATI, TONGA LAPITA, and mostly SUPREME). I've noticed that immediately after I ingest the drink, i feel pretty good, but when it wears off, i feel melancholic and almost depressed. Is this because im new to it? is it the brand or type? I do suffer from insomnia. That's one of the main reasons I got into Kava. What do you recommend I try for insomnia and and an overall feel good experience that lasts long? Thanks again.
I'd say that you should only use it right before bed. If it makes you feel depressed, it is probably not going away with time. That is probably just how you respond to Kava. However, as a sleep aid, I still think you should be just fine. Just don't let yourself get depressed!
they recommend drinking about 1 shell per hour, so if you make a batch with 4tbsp, drink half, wait about 45 minutes, drink the other half, make more etc.
Also consider some other types. I've used all of Kavafied's products that you mention, as well as Bula Kava House and Gourmet Hawaiian Kava, Squanch, Nakamal at Home and others. But my go-to seems to be Kalm With Kava. Hawaiian Ava and Bula Waka for times during the middle of the day where I want some relief without the drowsiness, and something like Loa Waka for later in the day when I want to unwind and get ready for sleep.
I've had some give me that feeling you describe, with that front-end feeling (mood lift, sense of well-being) followed by this strange "low" feeling. Everybody's different, but I found I got that more often from things like Kavafied's Kava Supreme, and BHK's Nambawan. AMOUNT plays a big role in this, as you probably know. Initially Kava didn't have an effect on me (following the 3 TBSP suggestion on the back of many packages) but once I increased that, the anti-anxiety effects really could be felt. THEN I was able to lower back down.
Hope this is helpful to you!
Kratom, kava, kanna all surprisingly good
I ordered some a couple days ago along with an Aluball to make it. I have a nut milk bag for when I want to have a go at the traditional kneading/straining.
I’ve never had it before, been researching it.
I’m hoping it will help with neck/shoulder/upper back pain and tension, some muscle relaxation, and the general aches and pains that have come with being 55 years old and going through “the change” 🥵
I just hope it isn’t too nasty tasting. 🤢😝
🍻
Im tryna get off the weed and ciggies so hopefully this helps cheers lad 🤙🏾
Hey Jesse 👋👍 ive got some brewing in front of me (1st time user btw) i got some from a friend and there werent any instructions on dosage so i pretty much copied what i saw you doing i just need to strain it, is that just a normal coffee press you used btw?
✌💙👍 from Scotland 😉
Cheers, my friend! Yes, it is just a normal French Press. Enjoy!
@@JesseCoomer Hey man thanks for getting back to me so quick ive now drank most of my drink and theres no numbing of my mouth or lips, i checked the packaging and it turns out its not even Kava (i think) 😦 its called ASHWAGANDHA POWDER with/or including Withania Somnifera, Winter Cherry and Indian Ginseng
I guess im gonna have to get my own, ive got some tablets that said friend gave me but i dont want to try them now 😞 i will get back to you though as i think Kava could really help me out with my struggles, Take care pal 😉
✌💙👍 from Scotland 👋
Hi mate great video I got the instant Fiji Karva from here in Brisbane Australia do I need go let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes before drinking and also do I need to strain it I can send link thanks
Instant blends are usually good as soon as you mix them up! I've been using Drinkroot and I love them! Check them out here:

@@JesseCoomer yeah I just filtered a tablespoon in like 250ml water... got nothing... usually don't filter it
which pills did u take and what amounts of kava extract (piper methysticum) and kavalactones did it have?
hi there, where can i buy it in Europe?? i live in Spain...
Great detailed and informative video. I just started with 10 ounces tonight. Really would love better sleep quality so im looking forward to seeing the benefits
Thank you!
What would you say about kava concentrates and extracts? Do they work better than the tea or is the tea the best way to have it?
I like them all. However, the drink, when prepared well, is the strongest :)
Which products do you recommend?
