The Kratom tree is a leafy tree that grows in Southeast Asia like Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, etc. Depending on their age, they can grow in between 3-40m. Kratom trees have leaves that are beautiful in spite of the fact that they are thick, hard, and dark green. Nevertheless, these leaves have medicinal properties that can aid chronic pain, addiction, and many more. These leaves are the ones processed into varieties of Kratom product today. There are several methods of preparing and using Kratom leaves, however, keep in mind that consuming large amount of it just like any other medicine is also not advisable. Below are some of the popular methods of preparing and consuming the leaves of Kratom.

One way to use the leaves of the Kratom is by chewing it fresh. Yes, after removing the central fibrous vein of a leaf, you can chew it. This can easily be done in countries where Kratom grows, but for those countries that are not in the Southeast Asia, people can just purchase Kratom plants so that they can freshly chew the leaves of the Kratom. The dried leaves of Kratom can also be chewed but only few do this because dried leaves of Kratom are very hard to chew. They prefer the powdered and crushed leaves.

Another way is the tosh and wash. This is for the Kratom extract and Kratom powder. You just toss the Kratom extracts or powder into your mouth and drink liquid juice to wash the Kratom down. Most people said that fruit juices are very effective (grape juice is the best) because of their acidic content. But you can drink any liquid too. Remember that the use of Kratom extract should be in small amount only because they are much powerful than the Kratom powder.

Next preparation and usage of Kratom is as suspension. You just need to mix your liquid juice with the Kratom powder in a bottle, shake thoroughly, and drink. You can also put your blended Kratom powder and liquid juice in a glass, stirs, and drink as suspension immediately.

Next is the apple sauce method where you can mask the Kratom taste by simply mixing it with an apple sauce and eating it quickly. There is also the Kratom capsules filled with the Kratom powder or the Kratom extract. There are Kratom sellers who can fill the capsules for you or you can just do it yourself.

Another one is the Kratom tea. This can be prepared using Kratom powders, resins, Kratom leaves, or extracts. Then you can also cook Kratom. Although this method is not common, it can be fun. Since Kratom taste really bad, the recipes that you could use should be like curries or stews which have strong flavors so that you will taste the awfulness of the Kratom. Last but not the least is by preparing Kratom as smoothies. The effect of Kratom also last longer using this method.
