Kratom can make one feel energized and motivated, thus ending lethargy.
Kratom as analgesic
Kratom has many alkaloids in it, which produces pain-numbing or pain killing effects. They nullify the pain by acting on the opiate receptors of the central nervous system. When alkaloids act on the opiate receptors, these receptors use signal transduction to signal the neurons to increase the levels of endorphins and enkephalins. They are integrated parts of the body’s painkilling or analgesic process. These neurotransmitters suppress the pain signals on their way to the brain. 2 to 3 grams of Kratom powder can be enough to alleviate pain in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic pain. On average, the analgesic effects can last for up to five hours.
Kratom makes your mood euphoric.
Every Kratom strain will make you feel light-hearted and happy, but some strains such as the Bali strain will make you feel more optimistic and euphoric than others. Malay strains make you feel ‘happy-go-lucky.’ According to a study, 1 gram to 5 grams of Kratom can work wonders for depression. If you can’t find Bali or Malay strain, you can opt for Maeng Da strains and the Indo strains as they also help lighten your mood.

Taking Kratom with fruit juices

Want it quick? Toss it and then wash it.
The name pretty much explains the process. You need to take the desired quantity of Kratom powder, have it with a spoon, and gulp some water to wash it down.

Care for a cup of tea?
Boil some water, put enough sweetener to balance the strong flavor of Kratom. Dip the tea bag of choice in the lukewarm and sweet water, then add the Kratom powder and the tea’s ready to consume. Make sure you keep stirring the drink; otherwise the Kratom powder will be suspended at the bottom of the cup.
Don’t like the taste of Kratom? Capsules are your saviors.
With anything you do the primary taste of Kratom powder will not go away, and if you can’t stand this taste, you should turn yourself towards Kratom capsules. The only downside of the pills is their cost. They are costlier than the Kratom powder.

Check with the regulations where you live to make sure that you are not breaking the law.
Kratom may also interact with certain medications and/or conditions meaning it is important to check with your physician or certified medical professional to make sure that you will not experience any complications.
