To those that are not up to speed with this “new” thing Called Kratom, it is an evergreen tree from the far East. It falls into the same family with the coffee tree and they can be seen as cousins of a sort because these two have a lot of similarities. They also have differences and the main difference is that we do not use the seeds and roast them like with the coffee but we use the leaves. Leaves are the source of the Kratom and its obtained by taking the leaves and drying them in the sun and crush them and grind into a fine powder. The most common use in Indonesia is not drying but chewing on the raw leaf just like with the gum.
Kratom is also ingested in tea form. Besides chewing and grinding dried leaves you can make tea from leaves that have been boiled for a certain time. Kratom is very bitter which is why you need some accustoming to the taste. To battle that nowadays we use it in a form of a powder that is washed down with water or added to yogurts or fruit juices. You can pretty much make it however you want as long as you can stand the taste of it.
People use it for various reasons and here the most popular reason for its usage is to regulate mood. It has a certain effect on mood that can be described as a caffeine kick where it makes you more focused and alert, and it gives you a burst of energy if you take it in little dosages. The opposite effect to this starts to happen when you take a lot of Kratom which is the reason to consider smaller dosages for the best results.

This is considered to be the strain that you take if you want the relaxation and sedation effect. This is the strain you should be careful with and you shouldn’t take it if you don’t have sleeping issues like can’t sleep at all or having trouble sleeping through the night. This strain has a strong sedating effect and is the perfect answer for people who suffer from insomnia or the ones that can fall asleep at night. We found a few instances that state that this strain of Kratom helps out people who had issues with alcohol abuse and that this gives them that chill and mellow effect that alcohol produces. There are probably more usages for this strain but since it is so sedating you should take proper care of dosages and instances at which you are taking this. This one is not to be messed with and you could have really big problems if you abuse the dosages or miss the intended use of this. Precaution always no matter what others say.
As a conclusion, we want to advise you that you get Kratom only from a reputable source or sources that have testing and that are certified. You shouldn’t look for this from suspicious sources and don’t use anything new and untested. Pick a brand that suits you the best and stick with it.
Do not increase dosages instantly, one of the recommendations is to start low and monitor how you and your body feels and reacts to this and just take it from there. If you have to increase the dosage do it slightly and again look for changes and reactions. Every person reacts differently and every feeling is different from person to person.
