Kava is a great choice for social environments. For years I drank alcohol as a social lubricant but it got out of control. I’ve been off the bottle for a year now but am still uncomfortable in social atmospheres where people are drinking. Kava, although its a disgusting drink, is great at reducing stress and pain.

My 1st experience I had 1/4 cup of powder mixed with milk and 1 hour later another. It was 100% lateral root kava kava powder from Vanuatu, ordered online. I'm not a big talker but I found myself calling people

on the phone just to chat. No major disorientation and only mildly unsteady on my feet (about like a mild alcohol buzz). I have a foot problem that causes some pain, sometimes its a 9 of 10, the pain was completely removed with kava.

It lasted 6-8 hours before I went to bed. Slight upset stomach for a day afterward.
