Kratom or Mitragyna Speciosa is a plant that comes from the same family as the coffee tree. It has been widely used by people from Southeast Asia for hundreds of years to help them in different medical conditions. In the western part of the world, it is still considered a controversial painkiller because of its other effects aside from its health benefits.
However, because there are more advantages to the medical side, people have started using it as a natural alternative medicine to suppress pain, relieve anxiety and more. Kratom can be taken in different forms and ways. You can buy various forms of kratom for sale from online vendors. Toss 'n' Wash is the most common way of using kratom. A user pours liquid in his or her mouth, add the powdered Kratom, and then chase it down with more liquid. There are some people who do not prefer this method though because of the unpleasant taste the powder leaves on the tongue. It makes them gag or some people who are inexperienced would unconsciously inhale the powder leaving them with the worst experience of their life. Chewing fresh leaves is also another way of taking the kratom.
Although it is not being done in western countries, natives of Southeast Asia have been doing this for a long time. They chew on the leaves and leave the saliva in their mouth to allow absorption. This method has a really quick effect because it bypasses digestion completely. But, the taste is even worse than taking the powder with water alone. Taking capsules or putting the powder in empty capsules is a great way to eliminate the taste of the powder. People can use this method to get started quickly because the capsules contain very limited amounts of the herb. But, buying pre-made capsules is not recommended. For one, it is expensive. Secondly, it poses negative effects to the body. This is especially true if they are added with unknown chemicals for it to last longer. There are available machines sold online that can make it easier to capsule kratom. Processing the kratom leaf to make tea is quite a popular way of getting the best health benefits from the plant. One can drink the concocted tea directly or can mix it with other drinks to reduce the unwanted taste of the processed plant.
For some, they add alcohol to the tea and store it in the refrigerator to make it last longer. Powder form, pastes and kratom tea can be mixed with other drinks, too. Different concoctions can be created to help break down the alkaloids in the kratom and remove the taste. Yogurt, acidic fruit juices, coffee or even smoothies are great examples of mixtures you can use for your kratom. When you are using kratom for the first time, it is good to know the different dosages and effects the wonder drug can do to your body. There are also different strains of the drug that can have various effects depending on your sensitivity. So, although the drug can have various health benefits, you still have to be cautious in taking it to avoid adverse side effects.
