At the time of this writing (summer of 2020), Kratom is still largely unregulated and there has not been much scientific research done on its effects. However, this hasn’t stopped people from using it for both medicinal and recreational purposes.
Kratom can have different effects on the body depending on several factors such as, where the trees are grown, at what stage the leaves are harvested, and how much you take.
Some of the main reasons that people use Kratom are: pain relief, relief from chronic illness, help sleeping, improved mood, more energy, enhanced focus, and to help them relax.
