In a study testing kratom as a treatment for symptoms of opioid withdrawal, people who took kratom for more than six months reported withdrawal symptoms similar to those that occur after opioid use. Claims about the benefits of kratom can't be rated because reliable evidence is lacking. Depending on what is in the plant and the health of the user, taking kratom may be very dangerous. However, the amount of active ingredient in kratom plants can vary greatly, making it difficult to gauge the effect of a given dose. People who use kratom for relaxation report that because it is plant-based, it is natural and safe. Kratom is also used at music festivals and in other recreational settings. Some people take kratom to avoid the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and because kratom may be bought more easily than prescription drugs. Some people who practice Asian traditional medicine consider kratom to be a substitute for opium. At very high doses, it acts as a sedative, making users quiet and perhaps sleepy. At higher doses, it reduces pain and may bring on euphoria.
At low doses, kratom acts as a stimulant, making users feel more energetic. Kratom is believed to act on opioid receptors. Kratom is also sold as a treatment for panic attacks. The liquid form is often marketed as a treatment for muscle pain, or to suppress appetite and stop cramps and diarrhea. Kratom extract can be used to make a liquid product.
Kratom leaves can be chewed, and dry kratom can be swallowed or brewed. Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree (Mitragyna speciosa) grown in Southeast Asia.
