As it has a lot of health benefits, Kratom has been considered as a preferred dietary supplement. Based on the geographical barriers, Kratom is recognized with different names including – kakuam, biak, thom, ketum, and Ithang. Above all, kratom’s medical name is mitragyna speciosa. As far as its intake is concerned, people often chew kratom leaves directly, brew it to have kratom tea, add kratom leaves powder to different eatables, and much more.

Kratom – For Depression and Anxiety

Researchers claim Kratom to have components used for treating depression, panic attacks, and anxiety to an extent. Resulting, a high percentage of people consume Kratom to self-treat depression and anxiety. Out of all, ‘mitragynine’ is one of the most important elements in Kratom which heals depression, anxiety and other mental health issues effectively. Mitragynine binds with opioid receptors while soothing the brain’s nerves. This results in the mind being in a happy state while helping the individual remain in a peaceful state for long.

After a Drug and Alcohol Dependence report claiming Kratom as a progressive way to uplift mood and heal depression, a high majority of people started using kratom powder, extract, and leaves.
