Kratom, krathom and kratum are the varied names from which the Mitragyna speciosa plant is known for. It is a native flora of the Southeastern parts of Asia. It is a relative of the coffee family. The liquid kratom, along with the other products that stem out from this plant, have awakened the curiousness of herbal fanatics and concerned organizations because of both positive and negative comments regarding its effects.
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.
Fresh leaves are typically chewed by the locals who cultivate these plants. Since they are relatives of coffee, people take them because of their soothing and calming effects. Worn out men because of tedious work take kratoms more often than women.
Tea is also usually made from the dried leaves of Mitragyna speciosa. Though less potent, this form is preferred over chewing leaves because its taste is less awful for others. The leaves are boiled in bundles. Evaporation of liquid allows extracts to be left behind for various uses. Technology has also given birth to its capsule form.
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.
Mentally, krathom can produce the feeling of extreme happiness or euphoria. Effects to every person may vary but generally, feelings of warmth, stimulation, and sedation are observed. Overall effect may last a minimum of two hours and a maximum of five. This flora is very unique because it can cause stimulating and sedating outcomes.
Kratum addiction may be rare but habitual use can cause delusional and schizophrenic symptoms. Following recommended dosage is of utmost importance to limit its fall backs. Activities that require mental and physical alertness should be temporarily avoided to minimize the danger the drug can cause the user.
Advocates of krathom use advise this herb for those who are suffering from opioid withdrawal and those who are undergoing opioid detoxification. This is simply because krathoms can imitate the same effects that of opioids like morphine and heroin but excluding the negative outcomes. Though it provides a minimal possibility of dependence, to protect the people from abusing the herb, governments in Asia have restricted the propagation and marketing of krathoms.
Prolonged use of this plant can lead to obstructive diseases of the intestines. A more thorough research should be taken to validate positive claims and support details on the limitations of liquid kratom and other forms of the herb. The ban posted by governing bodies have made this step harder for drug manufacturers.
