Natural help with pain can be as effective as pharmaceutical pain killers for many chronic pain patients. It can act equally as well in place of benzodiazepines for anxiety, PTSD, and for opiod addiction treatment. What natural product, you may ask.
The botanical is commonly known as Kratom. Scientifically, it's known as mitragyna speciosa. It's a plant in the same family as coffee, but 2 of the alkaloids attach to the mu opiod receptors in the brain. They act as agonists and antagonist. This means that you get the relief of an opiod without the foggy brain, respiratory depression, hallucinations, or high addictive qualities that are common with pharmaceutical opiod pain killers. It's a tree that's native to Indonesia. There's no manufacturing to worry about because you simply use the leaves. Theres nothing synthetic involved.
It has been a life saver for many people, including myself. Unfortunately, because it's not widely known and pharmaceutical companies have politicians in their pockets ensuring their very profitable livelihood, the people with the power to call it a drug and make laws that make it illegal refuse to look at the university conducted research that has proven its increased safety over pharmaceuticals.
When I was on non-opiod pharmaceuticals for Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren's, IBS-C, migraine, and Degenerative Disc Disease, I was in so much pain and felt so awful and defeated that I barely got out of bed. Their chemicals addd 60+ pounds to my 5'4" frame in less than 3 months (and no, I wasn't overeating, as eating made me sick). Their chemicals also damaged my liver.
I turned to researching natural alternatives and finally took the plunge. I called it a miracle. I was able to wean off the pharmaceuticals and become a functioning ad md productive member of society. My children were ecstatic to have their mom back, after not being to hug me for months. It was a long journey, but 4+ yrs later, I'm functioning better than I have in 7-8 yrs. I can smile and enjoy some semblance of normalcy because of Kratom. Before you say I'm addicted to it... No, I'M NOT, I only use it when needed and take frequent breaks. Even after months of regular use, I have no withdrawal symptoms; just the return of my excruciating pain.
Beware of any product purchased at gas stations, smoke shops, or made into liquids. Kratom powder is made by picking leaves, allowing them to dry, and crushing them into a powder, In it's undried state, the leaves may be chewed. The safest products come from online vendors that sell unadulterated products. My favorite vendor is RedDevilKratom.com. It's top quality and consistently strong. I haven't needed to increase my dose in 3+ years. His cbd oil is great too.
I utilize other natural products to deal with other symptoms, but I'll tell you about those another day. Just be assured that, used responsibly, it can act as a miracle for many.
