i definitely feel the boroguru, and I am very new to kava drinking, but it is giving me negative body load. more kava to water is preferred over evening the two out over time, i think. yesterday I drank a couple cups and it gave me more anxiety and fatigue than it was worth. less water + more kava should help a bit. but i believe, like K@, kava's body load is also due to the kava material. strain more if you are experiencing nausea. The idea is to get as much kavalactone (an alkaloid that occures naturally in the kava root) and less of the actual root powder. I'm assuming that there are things within the root powder that will upset ones stomach. So you want to ingest less root powder, more kavalactone if your experiencing nausea like myself. I also found, last night, that eating a meal after having my kava, bought a nice "rush" about, but the rush was very short lived. i'm hoping the positive effects increase over time.
