| Kratom Tea |
The Mitragyna speciosa is a potent tree
that grows naturally in several Southeast Asian countries, specifically
Thailand, Malaysia and Myanmar. The plant belongs to the coffee family,
although it does not have caffeine and is much more powerful than coffee. Also
called kratom, the Asian tree is most popularly known for its leaves, the
kratom leaves. Kratom is marketed all over the world, including the United
States, as a substitute for opium, organic pain reliever, and herbal cure
against hypertension, diarrhea and depression.
The most common side effects users of the
substance experience are mild to moderate constipation, temporary erectile
dysfunction, nausea, vomiting, and sleep problems. On the other hand, extensive
use of the herb can cause more serious side effects such as insomnia, dry
mouth, anorexia, and weight loss.
Since kratom is considered by many as a
dangerous drug, it is not widely available in the mainstream medicine market.
It is sold in tobacco shops, head shops and online. Users of kratom chew the
leaves, take it in capsule form or drink it as tea. Native users of kratom
consumed the leaves in the jungles of Asia the same way. They crushed raw
leaves to boil, chew or smoke. They consume kratom in order to strengthen
themselves for the hunt. As they got home, they sipped another cup of kratom
tea to renew their energy in order to enhance sexual activity.
Here are a few tips when preparing kratom
tea. First, take 50 grams of dried kratom leaves and place them in a pot with 1
liter of water. Gently boil for 15 minutes. Strain the bowl and keep the liquid
for some time. Squeeze the leaves to make sure all its contents are taken out.
Second, pour a second liter into the pot
and boil the leaves a second time. Strain the boiled leaves again but this
time, discard the leaves afterwards.
Third, mix the liquid from the first and
second liters and boil yet again until the amount of liquid is reduced to only
100 ml or less if one wishes the tea to be more concentrated. The lesser the
liquid, the more bitter it becomes. Drinkers are advised to gulp quickly or add
slices of fruit to improve the taste. Some choose to add alcohol, not only to
improve the taste but also to allow for longer preservation.

more into the kratom tea craze. Remember that the tea intake is dependent on
the user’s own preferences.
