Liquid Kratom Effects And Benefits

By Harriett Crosby


People choose to ingest certain herbs for a variety of reasons. Many people prefer to use natural products have the ability to relieve pain or provide other medicinal benefits, and some simply seek the mind altering effects for recreation. Liquid kratom is special in that it is often sought out for a wide range of purposes.

Given the scientific name of Mitragyna Speciosa, this versatile tree grows naturally in much of Southeast Asia. Since the earliest days of man, this substance, a cousin to the coffee plant, has been used as a key ingredient in herbal elixirs for variety of medical conditions. It has a special versatility in that the dosage taken can dictate whether it behaves like a sedative or a stimulant.

Some people have been known to use the dried leaves of this plant as a substitute for opium. Recreational users find the effects to be quite pleasant and soothing. The same psychotropic qualities that make this substance attractive for casual ingestion and dependency issues are what hinder governments from accepting it for its pain relieving potential.

Though currently illegal in Thailand, the government is giving consideration to its usefulness in assisting meth addicts to find a way to break the habit. Methamphetamine dependence is a serious problem in Thailand and is getting worse at rapid speed. Even the United States is doing research into the ways it can be used to wean those addicted to more serious drugs like opiates, cocaine and heroine without the normal symptoms of withdrawal.

Most countries, including Australia and the Southeast Asian lands in which the plant grows, have deemed the substance to be illegal. It is legal and considered only a matter of concern in the United States at this time, though Indiana has issued a total ban on its use. Purchasing it online is very easy to do.

It can be ingested in several ways such as chewing the leaves whole, chopping them into a fine powder for making teas, smoking, filling capsules or creating a paste for cooking. Liquefying the substance allows one to take it in the form of a concentrated extract. Depending on the amount one takes, the effects can range from simply relaxing to relieving pain to going on a true psychedelic trip.

Taken in small amounts, one experiences the effects of a stimulant, feeling energetic, alert, friendly, talkative and sociable. In a mid-range dose the sedating properties kick in, calming one's mind and body, bringing relief from even intense pains. Ingesting high quantities can result in euphoric moods and the state of wake-dreaming commonly called a psychedelic trip.

Liquid kratom is bitter tasting so it is usually mixed with something to drink or taken through vaporizers or e-cigs. Since it is a stimulant like nicotine, coffee and soda, dependency may occur with excessive use though addiction is not likely. Users should not drive, cook or do anything active while ingesting this product because, even in small doses, the probability of falling asleep abruptly without warning is extremely high.
