Kava to help with anxiety, making your own capsules

[JayJolie]

So, I recently made my first purchase of Kava. It's a very potent, micronized blend. It's quality Kava, I know that much. Here's the thing though, I cannot stand to drink it!! No matter how many ways I've tried to prepare it, I just cannot stand the taste. And I don't like the total numbing sensation of my entire mouth. Even if I just lick a tiny bit off my finger, my whole mouth is numb! Anyway, I was considering capping it and trying it that way. I paid really good money for this stuff and I don't want it to go to waste. Anyone out there with Kava experience? Kava capping experience? I can cap it, but how many do I take? How long before the effects kick in? Etc.? I'd like to add, I'm just looking for that chill, mellow feeling...not trying to get crazy with it. And, as I said before, this particular brand is supposed to be an extremely potent strain of Kava. Please share any of your experiences, information, knowledge, etc for the Kava newbie!! Really appreciate it!
