Kratom is a botanical that grows in Southeastern Asia. For thousands of years, it has been used to treat many mental and physical disorders. Currently, it is receiving a significant amount of attention from individuals attempting to wean off opiates without experiencing serious side effects. However, it has many other uses. Certain individuals use kratom to treat pain, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal disorders. Although its effectiveness with regard to such disorders has not yet been proven, many people who use liquid kratom or other forms of the herb report positive results.

The use of the aforementioned herb is surrounded by some controversy. This is because it is thought to contain psychedelic properties. Certain nutritionists or holistic practitioners claim that in order to induce this effect the herb must be ingested in large doses. Others state that this phenomena is not uncommon and it does not take generous amounts of the substance for it to be experienced. However, the majority of consumer reviews of the product indicate that psychedelic experiences or hallucinations are not usually a side effect of the supplement.

When taken in high doses, the herb has a tranquilizing effect. Those who use it sparingly typically state that it gives them energy and makes them feel more alert. The US Food and Drug Administration has listed this herb as a substance of interest, and has placed it on a "watch" list. This may be due to the fact that euphoria is a rumored side effect of the plant.

Due to the fact that Kratom has a sedating effect and is thought to contain narcotic like substances, despite the fact that it is not classified as an opiate, it may be beneficial for those who are attempting to withdraw from synthetic narcotics. Some holistic experts claim that it can eliminate withdrawal symptoms in some narcotic users. Other practitioners report that the use of the plant for this purpose is not wise, as the person is merely replacing one addictive substance with another.

The plant can be consumed in various ways. Capsules and kratom tea are available; however, numerous consumers claim that the liquid form of the plant is the most appropriate method of administration. This may be because most substances are better absorbed when taken in liquid form as opposed to capsule form, the latter of which may fail to open and break down properly and the person's system.

This plant can be purchased on the Internet or in some holistic shops in capsule, tea or liquid form. It is important to avoid completing a transaction before one has researched the merchant from home he or she plans to purchase the products. This is the best way to make sure that the most appropriate formula is chosen.

When using the herb for the first time, consumers should take the smallest dose. This is the best way to avoid taking too much of the herb and experiencing adverse effects. Is never wise to begin with the maximum dose, as this may be too much for certain individuals.

Avoiding the excessive use of liquid Kratom is essential. Individuals who take the supplement in too large a dose may discover that they experience headaches, nausea, vomiting, or even serious side effects such as hallucinations. Pregnant women should not consume Kratom, and it should never be mixed with other herbs or drugs. It is always in one's best interest to speak to a family physician before starting any new supplement.
