Native to Southeast Asia, it has been traditionally used by laborers to enhance energy and prevent burnout, and as a remedy for ailments such as diarrhea, fever, and even wounds.<\/p>\n<h2>How Kratom Works<\/h2>\n<p>Kratom\u2019s effects depend on dosage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low doses (2\u20136 grams):<\/strong> Stimulating effects, increased focus, mild pain relief, and mood enhancement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High doses (6\u201312 grams):<\/strong> Sedative effects, pain relief, and euphoria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Its main active compounds, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, interact with the brain\u2019s opioid receptors, offering painkilling effects without the same overdose risks as traditional opioids.<\/p>\n<h2>How Is Kratom Used?<\/h2>\n<p>Traditionally, fresh kratom leaves were chewed. Today, dried leaves are powdered and consumed in various ways, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tea:<\/strong> The most common method, offering fast onset and reduced stomach discomfort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toss and wash:<\/strong> Swallowing powder with a liquid chaser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capsules:<\/strong> Portable and taste-free but more expensive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extracts:<\/strong> Highly concentrated products like tinctures, gummies, and honey sticks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Kratom Strains<\/h2>\n<p>Kratom strains are categorized by the color of their leaf veins:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Red vein strains:<\/strong> Relaxing and sedative (e.g., Red Bali, Red Dragon).<\/li>\n<li><strong>White vein strains:<\/strong> Stimulating, ideal for morning use (e.g., White Maeng Da, White Elephant).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green vein strains:<\/strong> Balanced effects, combining stimulation and relaxation (e.g., Green Malay, Green Borneo).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Kratom is legal in most parts of the world, though regulations vary. In the U.S., it is generally permitted, with some states enforcing local bans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a close relative of the coffee plant, is a versatile herb with stimulating and sedative properties.
