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 can grow amazingly up to fifty feet tall and fifteen feet wide. Most climates outside Asia cannot support the growth of this plant. Kratoms thrive best in sunny and tropical swamps. They can be consumed in different ways. Their fresh leaves can be chewed directly or their leaves can also be dried, boiled or processed for juice extraction.
Kratom leaves are chewed to produce a relaxing and calming effect. It is taken by the natives to produce the same outcome that of the coffee. It has been observed that men use krathom more than women especially those males who have stressful and tiresome jobs.
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.
Physically, it can cause constipation, constriction of pupils, elevation of blood pressure, increased heart rate and analgesia. Its analgesic effect is one of the main reasons of its popular usage. When taken in liquid form like tea, desired responses can then be observed within twenty minutes. There are claims that this plant species can support weight loss.
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.
