Helpful Concepts About Liquid Kratom

By Dale Peck


Southeast Asian countries are the home of the plant species called as Mitragyna speciosa. It is a tree that is known by many as kratom, kratum or krathom. The plant belongs to the Rubiaceae family where coffee also belongs to. Derivatives of this flora, like the liquid kratom, have aroused the curiosity of herbal believers and of concerned individuals. There have been claims that it has a very high medicinal value.

Kratum trees do not effectively survive in conditions unlike its typical habitat. They grow naturally in tropical settings that is why raising them in places with cold climates is not advised. Their height spans up to fifty feet and their width reaches up to fifteen feet. Though their body are said to be strong, people rely more on the derivatives of their leaves.

Leaves that are fresh are chewable. Locals mainly chew them to relieve them from stress and fatigue. Studies have indicated that men, as opposed to women, take advantage of krathom to help them relax from the heavy nature of their work.

Dried and shredded leaves can be used for brewing tea. This type is generally less potent than other forms. Extracts are taken after the leafy parts of the tree have been boiled and evaporated in huge quantities. Recent development in kratum use have led to the existence of its capsule varieties.

Pupil constriction, heightened blood pressure, and constipation are the common effects of kratum consumption. The liquid state of the plant can produce physical effects in less than thirty minutes. The analgesic effect of the plant is one of the acclaimed positive side of its consumption. Aiding reduction of weight is also one of the popular reasons in taking this herbal supplement.

The sedative and stimulant effects of kratoms are their unique features. Its usage can result to various mental reactions such as euphoria or the other term for excessive happiness and sedation. Episodes of depression have also been noted. These sensations may be observed for a maximum of five hours.

However, abuse of kratum use may be detrimental on the psychological health of the users. Prolonged use can cause hallucinations, delusions ans schizophrenic behaviors. It is important to establish limitations in its intake to prevent negative reactions from occurring. Engaging in activities that need increased energy and alertness like driving should be avoided while under the influence of the drug.

Opium is a very strong analgesic. It is two times stronger than morphine. Heroin is made out of this plant. Kratum comes in handy for managing opioid dependency. Opium users can rely on kratoms during opioid withdrawal. It mimics the effect of heroin but produces a lesser harmful effect. However, certain Asian governments have banned the use of kratoms for this purpose because it has been abused by most users. Addiction to krathom has been observed through time.

Despite its therapeutic outcome, chronic kratom use can reportedly cause bowel obstruction. Like many other herbal supplements, an extensive study should further be conducted to prove the beneficial effects and to establish limitations on the usage of liquid kratom. The banning of the derivatives of kratoms has made research harder for developers. A movement regarding the decriminalization of kratoms has been backed up by many pharmaceutical companies.
