What is Bali Kratom?

Kratom has been used in Southeast Asia extensively for centuries. As it was pointed out, its medicinal effects are dependent on the dosage.

There is a bit of legal controversy regarding kratom and its use in the USA and some parts of the world. Some countries legally allow the use of this herbal product and there are some that prohibit it.

According to the FDA and policies by the DEA, all forms of kratom are categorized as a type of herbal product. In other words it is not a substance that is prohibited under the Controlled Substances Act.

Uses of Kratom

This herbal product is used widely as a form of traditional medicine as a type of enhancer to increase the productivity work efficiency of local folks in Southeast Asia. In eastern traditional medicine, people chew kratom leaves to reduce pain, increase appetite, and improve energy levels.

Note that the leaves of this herb are also extracted and used as a form of natural anesthetic. These same extracts are also used locally as a treatment for intestinal infections, diarrhea, and a reliable cough treatment.


Kratom as an Opioid Withdrawal Treatment

It is true that it is not approved as a treatment for withdrawal from opioids. One of the reasons for this is the fact that there are no formal clinical trials that test its effectiveness as a potential treatment.

In short, there are not clinical studies that either deny or affirm the effectiveness of kratom extracts as a withdrawal treatment.

However, the available testimonial evidence that is available hints at its potential medicinal use. For instance, there are an increasing number of people who use kratom extracts for chronic pain as a form of self-treatment or self-managed pain treatment.

As early as 1836, people have been using kratom in Thailand and Malaysia as a substitute for their opium use. This shows that there is potential for its use in easing out of one’s addiction.

According to a 2020 survey conducted by the US DEA, people use kratom for the following uses:

  • Opioid withdrawal
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Pain relief
