You're going to drink a sedating beverage when you have a condition where you could go into a coma if you fall asleep?

I think that drinking kava immediately after an individual becomes concussed would be reckless until it has been established that your brain is not bleeding via CT Scan. Post concussion could be a different story however, and may even possibly be a good thing under certain circumstances.

I would avoid it - concussions are nothing to mess with.

Hope your doing better. I've had some very minor possible concussions from boxing and I always avoid alcohol or kava if that happens

Yeah, I meant post-concussion. I got a scan when it happened to rule out any more severe injuries.

In that situation, it would probably be okay to drink kava. The main way that your brain repairs itself after a concussion is through sleep and kava can help sedate and aid you with that.
