A search of the forums revealed some great questions and answers regarding pre-operative use of kava (and whether one should or should not discontinue prior to surgery). My question is about the other side of the coin - the recovery from surgery.
Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts and/or data & research regarding the impact kava would have on wound healing and recovery post dental implant surgery. It's been a few days since the procedure, all is well, no pain meds required, and I'd love to resume my regular kava sessions. However, I have lingering concerns about the rumors I hear about kava lowering platelet count and the potential impact that could have on the speed or effectiveness of healing the surgical site. Should I just wait the two weeks until the stitches are out?
Thanks for your thoughts!
