Mitragyna speciosa is a psychoactive plant grown in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand and Malaysia where it has been used as an analgesic, to control diarrhea and to reduce fever in acute conditions. The major alkaloids in kratom have shown opioid agonist activity and can be used as an alternative for chronic pain and opioid withdrawal symptoms. Kratom is controversial in the US, with a DEA threat to ban it outright being responded to by thousands of citizens requesting it be left alone and allowed to remain available in the open market.

While hormones and neurotransmitters are a definite part of the puzzle, Chinese Medicine provides us with an amazing lens to view our mental health through the seasons. This class looks at Five Element Theory, how different organ systems and emotions are related to each other, and how they play a significant role in anxiety as well as depression. In Spring, where the element of Wood governs Liver\/Gallbladder, we look at hepatic depression, melancholy (black bile) and the emotion of anger that is processed here. Summer is dominated by the Fire Element and we look at nourishing Heart energy through cardiac tonics. Late Summer relates to the Earth element, Stomach\/Spleen. We look at the key role our gut biome plays in mental health as well as our ability to digest' overwhelming emotions. Fall is the Element of Metal, Lungs\/Large Intestine where grief is processed. A large percentage of people with depression actually are manifesting unresolved grief, as our culture does not support this process. Finally, we will look at the energies of Winter, Kidney\/Bladder and how adaptogenic herbs support hormonal and neurological functioning to deal with chronic challenges.

Many herbs popular in the treatment of mental health issues may not only affect neurotransmitter profiles, they may also protect against oxidative stress in the central nervous system and contribute to the therapeutic effects.

The modern-day solution to chronic stress is often anxiolytic medications including benzodiazepines, 5HT agonists and beta-blockers, and antidepressant medications including SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic and atypical antidepressants. While these medications may be helpful in some cases, many people experience side effects, dependence, and... continued stress.
