What people say about Kratom and pain & inflammation
“kratom has been a Godsend and has really helped with getting me back on my feet. My preferred strain is Green Bali and found 2g to be my sweet spot in dose.”
“the last few days, I've found kratom to be helpful in getting me through the day. It's been helping my mood, and even giving me some energy. And the pain relief is outstanding.”
“I quit cold turkey on a two year straight binge of 20-30g a day...I experienced a lot of body aches and lethargy...The cravings, anxiety, and constant lack of motivation are the worst.”
“It’s for energy and pain relief, not a mental boost. I’ve been using it for years but I would never consider it a nootropic.”
