Make your own Kava Blend

Make your own Kava Blend

Kava is a personal choice.  It's based on the desired results of the kava that you drink.  Some people like the Heady effect of euphoria, anti-anxiety and sedative effects, others prefer the Heavy effect of Sedative, Muscle relaxant and sleepy time kava's.  Heady kava's can be used during day time, Heavy kava's are best in evenings or weekends when you don't need to get much done. 

But what if you want a customized kava?  Once you understand the different chemotypes and the best process of  making your kava, trying various kava's that work well with your body chemistry, it's time to customize your kava.

You can blend your own personal kava from kava's you try and like.  By blending kava's, you can personalize your experience.  You can intensify the aspects you like best or reduce less desirable aspects, or have a different combination of desired effects.

The only way to do this is try different kava's with the chemotype profiles you like and then mix them in different ratios.  Experimentation is the only way to make your optimal kava.

Using a scale is important, so that you can reproduce the same blend each time once you find what you want.  You will also want to take notes after trying each kava so you remember what you like and don't like.  How long a kava lasts, how fast you feel its results, the types of effects, how the kava tastes, does it have a nauseas effect.  Taking notes are important to this process and will speed up getting to your optimal mix.

Everyone's body chemistry is different so what is optimal for you may not be what is best for someone else.  Once you find a great blend share it with friends and see how they like it.

Go and have fun with finding your kava blend.

Remember that it is always recommended to seek medical advice before consuming kava, especially if you are taking meds or if you are a heavy alcohol drinker.  Buy from reputable sellers who are willing to provide the background on their kava so you can have a consistent experience.
