Kratom is also used as an ointment or poultice for wounds and as a cure for fevers. This wonderful herb is also a great cough suppressant, and a slight stimulant, which combined with its analgesic properties make it a little similar, and perhaps more effective to some modern cold medications. When used as a replacement for codeine or opioids, Kratom’s immune enhancing properties help ease coughs while also fighting whatever infection is causing them. It is also useful for people recovering from surgical operations or injuries while also reducing the chances of local infections.
