Does Kratom have dangers?
Mitragyna speciosa or Kratom is having its fame today. The kratom tree is large tree native to South East Asian countries particularly Thailand and Malaysia. The natives used the leaves of kratom for medicinal purposes such as dealing with pain and treating diarrhea. In rehabilitation, people who are dependents on opiates and morphine are experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking the drugs. Medical approach was proven to use kratom as an alternative to opium and morphine. It was proven that giving kratom in low dose then gradually lessened until total withdrawal results to milder and safer withdrawal symptoms compared to withdrawal symptoms from morphine and opiates. There are other benefits that kratom claims to provide. They say that kratom is a great stimulant therefore the natives used it as a sexual stimulant, improving and enhancing their sexual activity. It can also create a mild effect for the minds. All of these effects are made possible by the alkaloid contents of kratom such as mitragyne.
The kratom leaves are chewed, smoked and boiled as tea by the natives. They have used the leaves for a long period of time now and no records show that someone had suffered negatively in taking kratom. There are no official records about addiction to kratom but they say that dependence to it is possible. Taking kratom in low doses is safe but ingesting higher dose regularly for a long time may produce undesirable results. The body may develop a tolerance against the alkaloids found in mitragyna, creating a need to increase the dose to achieve the desired effects. There is an overdose of kratom. Some say that an individual may experience hallucinations, nausea, delusion, tremors, coordination problems and restlessness. Daily intake of kratom for a long time may result to skin darkening, aggression, nervousness and constipation. Kratom is not recommended to be use by people having schizophrenia, cardiac, renal, ulcers, hepatic problems, low blood pressure and pregnant women.

Is Kratom addictive?
Kratom Seeds |
Alot of Kratom burners burn quite a bit daily in which case it can be addictive Kratom basically has a stimulating . There were reports that Thai laborers that used Kratom daily for a long time developed dark patches on their skin and and an unhealthy appearance. And, when they stopped taking Kratom, they got all the same withdrawal symptoms as opiates. While higher doses can provide a person with significant narcotic effects. Some cultures use it to enhance the sexual intercourse and to treat diarrhea. Kratom can be used as a substitute for opium and it is also very efficient in moderating opium addictions. It stops the cravings and moderates the withdrawal because its alkaloids bind to the delta receptors in the brain. It can also be used for detoxification of those addicted to methadone.
some other info
Some reoirst of kratom use involved visualizations and vivid dreams as side effects of the therapy. Some studies suggest that it also could be used for the treatment of depression. One’s mood is determined by the levels of serotonin, dopamine and opiates. Most chemical drugs are related to the levels of serotonin because it does not involve an addiction.
Certain researches have shown that kratom could affect the mood of a person in a positive manner. Kratom can also come in very handy when it comes to the treatment of adult attention deficit disorder because of its stimulating and mood lifting properties.

Can what you eat effect Kratom?
Can Diet Affect Your Session?
Simple answer? Yes.
They say "you are what you eat", but in this case, what you eat can
affect your "sniffer" when it comes to this plant. Of course, everyone
is different, so these are more guidelines than anything else. Always
make sure that you keep a well balanced diet and seek medical advice
before engaging in any kind of aromatherapy (either with this plant or
any other incense.)
- Your first burn of the day is your most vital. If you want to see
how a particular strain or blend effects you, the absolute best time
to do this is in the morning after a good night's rest. Several even
swear on burning on an empty stomach and then eating a light meal when
the smoke starts to fill the room. My personal experiences mirror
these sentiments. My burner works best in the morning and right before
breakfast.
- Stay away from carbs or seafood right before a burn. It has been
noted from several customers that Fish Oil (either the supplement or
from the actual fish itself) has a profound effect on the length and
strength of a burn. Since I usually wait 2 hours after I take my
vitamins (with a light lunch), I can't say definitively whether or not
this had made my sessions suffer. The carbs, however, is another
matter. Bread, pasta, potatoes, and even carrots, will have a
substantial effect on my sessions. If I am going to consume a meal
that is heavily laden with carbs, I usually put off a burn for several
hours (or the next day if its dinner.) If you find that your sniffer
just can't seem to get a trace of smoke or if you find that your burns
aren't consistent, you might want to consider keeping a journal and
marking down the time of your burns as well as anything you've eaten
during the course of the day. If you find a pattern, you know what to
tweak in your diet in order to maximize the benefits of your session.
Many connoisseurs keep a journal and recommend this practice to
beginners.
If you have sugar issues and you need to eat small meals throughout
the day to keep your sugar balanced, it has been recommended that you
burn two hours after consuming anything. These recommendations come
from past customers.
- Be careful on the foods you do consume. Some of them are
potentiators and can intensify a session. I won't go into all of them.
The research is out there for anyone who is curious enough to read
about it. I will say that grapefruit has long been known to be a
potentiator for several things, and not just Kratom. Several
prescribed medications have warned against the consumption of
grapefruit because of what it does. Please make sure you talk to your
doctor (if you are on medication) about the foods and vitamins that
you should avoid. Your pharmacist should also have the answers you
seek regarding food and medication.
- Dairy will stop a current session in its tracks! If you find that
you are having an adverse reaction to a particular strain or blend and
need to clear out your burner before engaging in another session,
anything dairy should do the trick. Yogurt, cheese, milk, even ice
cream will kill your session. However, if you choose this method, it
has been recommended (by several customers) to wait two hours before
starting another session.
Kratom Aromatherapy sessions are a fragile balancing act to begin
with. Hopefully this entry clears up any questions some of you
beginners might have. If you have any others, feel free to email us at
Leaping Leaf and one of our professional and knowledgeable customer
service reps will answer them in a timely manner.
