What is Kratom?

Kratom which goes by the botanical name “Mitragyna speciosa” is a type of herbal tree that is native to Southeast Asia. The tree which grows in various countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, Borneo and Indonesia is a member of the “Rubiaceae” plant family.

The herb is basically divided into three main types namely “Red Vein Kratom, Green Vein Kratom and White Vein Kratom.” It is important to note that there are various strains originating from different geographical locations and each location produces a special type of Kratom with its own unique health benefits.

There are various names used to refer to the natural herb depending on its country of origin. Some of the common names include Bali, Ria, Sumatra, and Borneo. Mitragynine and 7-hydroximitragynine are the main active alkaloids found in Kratom.

These alkaloids not only give Kratom its bitter taste but are also the ones responsible for the natural herb’s euphoric, sedative, pain relieving and stimulating abilities. Although previously misunderstood, Kratom is slowly gaining popularity in the recent times, thanks to its extensive health benefits to the human body.

How To Use Kratom

How is it Taken?. The leaves of the natural herb are the most popular if not the only part of the tree that is used for its health benefits. There are various ways that the herb can be used to fully obtain its beneficial health benefits.

Below are the common ways that the homeopathic remedy can be taken.

• Chewing the leaves. This technique is attributed to the native Southeast Asian people who chew the tree’s fresh leaves after removing the stringy like central vein. Dried Kratom leaves can also be chewed, although a majority of people prefer crushing them up due to their tough nature.
• Powdered Kratom leaves can be swallowed directly or mixed with water for drinking which is an easier method. The crushed powder can also be easily mixed with other popular liquids like milk or juice. Chocolate milk can also be used to mask the herbal remedy’s bitter taste.
• Taking Kratom capsules. One can either decide to put the crushed leaves into a capsule or purchase already manufactured Kratom capsules from recommended health stores.
• Drinking Kratom herbal tea. You can brew your own strained tea and then drink it. You can also easily mix the herbal tea with either other herbal teas or ordinary black tea to make it more palatable before consumption. Adding honey or sugar can also help in sweetening the Kratom herbal tea.
• Smoking the leaves. It is also possible to smoke Kratom leaves. However, this consumption technique is not highly recommended as the total leaves that constitute a single dosage are way too many to be smoked at a go.
• Drinking Kratom extracts. One can prepare a resin like herbal extract through evaporating the filtered liquid obtained from the tea and storing the extract for future use. The extracts are considered to be the most potent form of the natural remedy as they contain much greater levels of the alkaloid constituents.

Kratom Effects

The herb is unique in its own way such that it produces different effects when taken in low to moderate doses and even varying effects when consumed in larger doses. This is mainly because the active alkaloid components found in the natural herb contain sedative and stimulant effects

Hence consuming large doses results in sedative effects while taking lower doses results in more stimulating effects. Most Kratom herb users have reported that the homeopathic remedy’s effects resemble those of opiate drugs. This is usually because the Kratom alkaloids present in the herb act as opiate receptor characters.
