What is Kratom?

With the growing increase of popularity throughout the years, the herb Kratom has become a subject of interest to many looking for pain and stress relief, among many other benefits. So, what exactly is this miracle herb?

Kratom, formally known as Mitragyna Speciosa, is a tropical plant native to Thailand and neighboring Southeast Asia countries. The main active ingredient, Mitragynine, has been found to produce opioid-like effects. It is sold in the form of powder, leaves, capsules, and extract, while typically consumed by making it into a drink, whether it be tea or mixing powder with juice. There are three different types of Kratom leaves, with each strain producing different effects. Red, the highest selling strain, is great for beginners due to its calming, optimistic effects. When it comes to relieving pain, elevating mood, work as a sleep aid, or reducing withdrawal symptoms, red is the most favored of the three. White has been found to be more of a stimulant and help balance a boost in energy, mood and concentration, while Green is right in between these two. Green Vein Kratom has a more sophisticated effect, and acts as a mild, energy booster that is also great for reducing anxiety and depression. White has been suggested to take in mornings, with or in place of coffee, while Green is excellent for nighttime, especially if one is using it to reduce their anxiety in a social setting.

Once you know what you’re looking to get out of taking Kratom, you can easily pick out which strain would be best to try. However, these strains are sold under different names, each one having a new and different effect. One of the most popular strain names is Maeng Da, which comes from Green and Red. Those looking for more stimulation should lean more towards the Green, while those looking for pain relieving effects should stick with Red Maeng Da. Bali, which again comes from Red and Green, is another very popular strain, producing euphoric and anxiety relieving characteristics. Its more sedating than the Maeng Da, but also has long lasting pain-relieving effects.

There are always new studies being made on the new health benefits coming from this herb, while each strain effects everyone differently. The variety of strains we carry in our shop are of the highest quality with a perfect one for individual and their need.

Hulu is one of our most popular blends, with the perfect mix of different green Kratom strains (including Green Maeng Da) within it, giving the individual only the best effects from every strain. It has a strong euphoric feel along with a smooth energizing effect. Its best taken in the morning to give you the positive boost you need to start your day, or mid afternoon for a good pick-me-up.

Golden Super Indo is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing feel, rather than energizing. It has a great balance of relaxation and pain relief, without causing drowsiness. Emotional wise, this blend has an extremely positive effect, perfect for bringing out compassion within yourself and giving you great empathy for others.

Super Green Malay is also great for pain relief and positive feeling, but is better when taken before a social event or project due to its all-day energizing effects. This is perfect for those with ADHD and need something naturally subtle to help with focus and concentration.

Premium Green Maeng Da is another one of our most popular Kratom strains. Our quality Maeng Da is different from other brands due to the strength of its effects being consistent, without an after effect of drowsiness or feeling down. According to users, it has one of the strongest euphoric and energizing effects. We also carry Red Maeng Da which is similar, but better for those looking for physical pain relief rather than mental stimulation and focus.
