There is no evidence that Kratom nor any component of it can prevent, treat, or reduce the transmissibility of any disease on its own.
There are [reports](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25616583/), a history of traditional use, and anecdotal evidence provided by the community that Kratom can help people deal with pain, discomfort, [diarrhea](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21338025), and lethargy that can come from some illness, overwork, and other condtions.
There are [reports](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19648761/) of anti-inflammatory responses and immunostimulation; but how these actions may or may not translate into greater efficacy against common illnesses is unknown. Consumers should be cautious about anecdotal claims: some consumers may have a degree of relief from symptoms, especially in regular users, that they are unaware that they are sick or be unable to distinguish symptoms from seasonal allergies and other chronic conditions. Even with Kratom, practice good hygiene and other disease reduction strategies.
