In recent times experimenting with the powder created from the leaves for pain relief, anxiety and mood problems, depression, low energy levels, and increasing euphoria has become commonplace.
What does kratom do?
Kratom has a variety of effects, some of which are energizing, while others are sedative or anxiolytic. The effects of kratom are determined by the dosage. Kratom at high doses is a potent pain reliever and euphoric, akin to opiate pain relievers.
