Be it martial law, economic collapse, natural disaster or simply to be more self reliant, your emergency kit is not complete without Mitragyna leaf powder or a kratom extract on hand.
Here are ten reasons I can think of to have a good supply of kratom on hand.
1)pain relief. You can't stock up on pain killers and come any natural disaster or emergency trauma situation asprin just doesn't cut it. While it is good to have some poppy seeds in your home seed bank, you might need something STRONG that can relieve pain until you can get to a trustworthy doctor. There are few things that can relieve pain as well as this herb.
2)anti-diarrheal. Since kratom is a great astringent it will control diarrheal symptoms. It would also be important to have some berberine and good probiotics on hand to treat the root cause of the digestive woes but in an emergency it is smart to have this versitile herb around. You can't have the runs when you are on the run.
3) Antivirals. There are documented anti-virals in mitragyna leaf and there are many reports of kratom being handy at stopping a herpes outbreak. Many folks for whom kratom is a regular regimine find that they do not get the seasonal flu.
4)Anti-oxidants. Mitragyna leaf has over twenty times the amount of antioxidants that are in green tea. These are great for building capillary strength and protect against all manner of oxidative damage from environmental toxins.
5) appetite suppressant. We all need to eat but in a pinch this herb has been very useful at allaying many cravings.
6) addiction disruptors. If access to prescription painkillers is cut off kratom can help to taper off these medications without the horrible detox symptoms. Some forms of kratom have higher amounts of the addiction disruptors. Whole leaf or better yet, kratom that contains stem and vein is the best for reducing the habit forming tendencies of mu agonist medicines.
7) Respiratory support. Over the last eight years I have seen asthma, allergies and cough be greatly relieved using kratom extracts. Since it has adrenergic and mu agonists think of it as having some of the benefits of both codeine cough syrup AND sudaphed decongestants. While allergy symptoms like red eyes are not helped by kratom I have seen sneezing and runny nose immediately relieved and most all cold and flu symptoms helped significantly.
8) Energy booster. Although it is related to coffee it does not contain caffeine. It does however contain natural compounds that can give sustained energy. As people become more self reliant they can find that to take advantage of a harvest or hunt to it's fullest requires working for 12-16 hours at a time.
9) Anti-depressant / anti anxiety. It is always best to treat the root cause of the depression. If your government is getting you down it is best to change it rather than to medicate your mental state. If you need to stock up on a non-fluoride SSRI I would advise looking into kanna but if there is some short term issue that you need help moving beyond kratom can give you a little help while you take care of what needs changing.
10) Barter! Even if you don't smoke or drink it is good to have a pouch of tobacco and a bottle of alcohol and best of all, some kratom leaf or extract. When a person needs their morale boosted they will find kratom more valuable than silver. When they need relief from serious pain they will find a good alkaloid enriched kratom more valuable than gold! Historically, even in times of economic depression the alcohol business will flourish. As healthcare declines in quality and the government begins labeling walnuts and vitamin B6 as "drugs" it is a great time to stock up on alternate currency and kratom is one of the best in my opinion.
