Kratom is not your average opioid. The Drug Enforcement Agency of the United States found that out when it tried to ban the healing, pain-relieving and life-enhancing herb in 2016, resulting in a public outcry from the millions of Americans who fear the deadly opioid prescriptions that have been approved resulting an epidemic of drug abuse in every state of the U.S.. Not only the average user, but some 51 of their congressman, interestingly from both Democratic and Republican parties, stepped into the fray. The DEA has since dropped that idea of banning Kratom with the public outcry, and instead puts enormous pressure on the Indonesian government to halt the production of Kratom at its source in the distant jungles where the healing herb has been widely used since the dawn of time without ill effects.

To be sure, there are powerful opioid effects, but without the well-known and very dangerous side effects of the opioids invented by drug companies in the United States that has brought ruin to lives and richess to drug companies and investors. Only the poor villagers of the Indonesian bush have grown rich on a substance that they could gather freely as their parents and grandparents had for centuries. The opioid effects from Kratom come from two potent chemicals, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine in Kratom’s leaf. Mitragynine is the more prominent and has very mild opioid effects, while 7-hydroxymitragynin is 13 times more potent than morphine milligram for milligram. Kratom can cause effects similar to both opioids and stimulants. These two compounds interact with opioid receptors in the brain, producing sedation, pleasure, and decreased pain, especially when users consume large amounts of the plant. Mitragynine also interacts with other receptor systems in the brain to produce stimulant effects. When Kratom is taken in small amounts, users report increased energy, sociability, and alertness instead of sedation. Large doses are for pain. It is not a recreational drug.

In the deep jungles of Indonesia where Kratom leaves can be plucked from any tree, the tribal males put some leaves in their morning beverage to help in the arduous task of daily life in then jungle. Women only use it when in pain, when giving birth, or when suffering grief and sadness, despite its ready availability. Sadly, as elsewhere in Indonesia, hard and dangerous drugs have penetrated, with the drug dependent visibly affected by the scourge of heroin addiction whose ill effects are visible to the naked eye everywhere. Kratom is not only an exception as antidote for opioid withdrawal, but Kratom users report significant reduction, even elimination of their drug habit through its use.

Kratom takes effect after five to 10 minutes, and its effects last two to five hours. The effects of Kratom become stronger as the quantity taken increases. There is evidence that points to the fact that someone who has used Kratom less frequently or uses lower doses would eliminate the substance more quickly than long-term or habitual users. In animals, Kratom appears to be more potent than morphine, yet there were no signs of withdrawal characteristic of hard drugs. It appears that like those who favour coffee, tea, or marijuana for that matter, seem to long for the drug when deprived, without that desire preventing them from carrying out their routine daily activities.

One of the most common questions so many people have about Kratom is whether or not it’s safe. The herb is bitter, so there would be the common effects of bitters on the stomach and slight nausea which quickly passes. It is a small price to pay for increased energy and alertness, increased sex drive, decreased appetite and more sociability, as millions in Europe and America testify after word-of-mouth spreads Kratom’s virtues to the major annoyance of drug companies. Another risk of Kratom comes when people buy commercial versions of the herb that have been combined with other drugs or substances in the United States, which is why it is so important to harvest this wonderful herb at the source as we do.

Kratom has been shown in scientific testing to cut stress, be a working solution for depression symptoms, lower blood pressure, protect cells against free radical damage, ease the pain of arthritis and scoliosis, and solve many stomach disorders. No wonder drug companies in the United States fear this healing herb.

To millions of pain sufferers looking for relief without the side effects of heavy pharmaceutical medications, the natural supplement Kratom has replaced killer opiates for millions of users in the United States and Europe. The Kratom industry of Indonesia has grown astonishingly as a significant portion of the country’s export, and 90 percent of it goes to the U.S, the rest to Europe where it has become widely available through online sources. Entirely without advertising and out of the reach of drug companies, millions of pain sufferers have turned away from addictive opioid substances that have killed tens of thousands and made other drug dependent, year after year. Africa remains sadly ignorant of a natural plant which is used as dried, crushed bitter leaves to l to significantly relieve pain.
The dried leaves are powdered to smoke, used in capsules or washed down with water or tea, or else baked into cookies to work entirely without the side effects that pharmaceutical medicines have. Those suffering in pain report feeling more in control of their lives, more confident of their future lives, able at last to bring daily suffering to an end.
Kratom has helped millions of people. The American Federal Drug Administration (FDA) tries very hard to ban this competition for the lucrative market of chronic pain management, and has of late put extraordinary pressure on the Indonesian government to curb its export, so far without success, though farmers are urged to switch crops. Still, initial medical testing has been so positive, and enthusiasm for it so great in Europe and America that strong advocacy groups have arisen in Kratom’s defense. It should be noted that in the most isolated corners of Indonesia, Kratom has been used for centuries without any ill effect or addiction. Indeed, now that dangerous and addictive substances had reached distant villagers, Kratom has gained a reputation as a specific cure for addiction to harmful drug substances like heroin and morphine. Several studies have been done of traditional peoples of southeast Asia jungles who had smoked or ingested the substance. The natives are as enthusiastic as their ancestors. It is noteworthy that people who have used it for so long tell anthropologists only good things about them
The Dutch botanist Korthals had come upon native peoples in the deepest bush of what is now called Indonesia and found very widespread use of a widely available substance employed daily to combat fatigue and improve productivity, but also playing in various preparations healing in the socio-religious ceremonies in which the botanist took part, apparently deriving enormous pleasure from it, therefore naming the substance “Mitragyna” after the Roman-Greek healing cults of Mithra in ancient Greece and Rome. The use of substances to enhance human abilities is indeed a constant and cross-cultural feature in the evolution of humanity. Magic mushroom, coca leaves, mescaline, and various other natural substances have been used for millennia in various cultures for therapeutic purposes, religious ceremonies, and improvement or modification of the physical and mental abilities.
The Indonesian province of Kalimantan is the primary source of Kratom, and every year the export sizes up to almost 400-500 tons a month. This bulky export contributes significantly to the Indonesian economy, employing a lot of people in the region and uplifting the living standards for them. Kratom for self-management of chronic pain and anxiety, or merely a source of positive attitude, should be much better known in Nigeria.
