What Is Kratom?

Kratom powder is a powder that’s made from the kratom plant. This plant is a tree from Southeast Asia (and some people in Southeast Asia have been using it for a long time).

You can consume kratom in many ways. Most people use kratom powder which comes from drying and pulverizing the leaves. You can mix this powder into drinks or put a spoonful into your mouth and chase it with water.

You can also brew kratom leaves like tea, ingest it in capsules, or chew it as a gum or while it’s fresh (this is a more traditional method of consumption).

Kratom has psychoactive effects, but it isn’t an illegal substance. It’s easy to find online on sites like Cali Botanicals and some areas have it at gas stations.

What Does Kratom Do?

As we mentioned, kratom has psychoactive effects. This means that it’s a mind-altering substance. There are several common uses of kratom powder.

There are different kinds of kratom that have slight variances when it comes to effects. White, red, and green kratom are the common varieties.

When used in small amounts, kratom tends to have a stimulating effect. This means that it will give you more energy. In larger amounts, however, it tends to be sedating.

Some people use kratom as an alternative to opioids if they’re in pain. Others use it as a recreational substance for the feelings of sedation and pleasure. For those seeking a reliable source, finding a high quality kratom store is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Are There Side Effects?

Like most substances, kratom does have side effects. Side effects will vary depending on pre-existing conditions, individual sensitivity, and how much kratom you take.

If you’re worried about side effects (or if you’ve already experienced them), try taking small amounts of kratom and working your way up.

Side effects include:

  • Itchy skin
  • Dry mouth
  • Constipation
  • Nausea
  • Increased thirst
  • Decreased appetite
  • Hallucinations

In rare cases, some people experience seizures or psychosis when taking kratom. If you notice any harmful side effects, stop your kratom usage or start over with small doses.

Kratom: Is It Right for You?

If the kratom powder effects appeal to you, you might want to consider giving it a try. Make sure that you do your research beforehand and make sure that none of your medications or pre-existing conditions could interact with kratom.

Remember, no substance is risk-free.
