Kratom as a solution to opioid use disorders

Opioids are painkillers that work with opioid receptors in the cells of the body. This drug is made from poppy plants such as morphine (Kadian, Ms Contin) or synthesized in laboratories such as fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic).

When opioids enter and flow in the blood, this one drug will attach to opioid receptors in the cells of the brain, spinal cord, and other organs involved in pain and pleasure. The cells then release pain-reducing signals from the brain to the body and release large amounts of dopamine throughout the body creating a feeling of pleasure.

Usually the class of drugs included in opioids is used to reduce moderate to severe pain. For example, to help control the pain you experience after surgery.

There are several types of opioid drugs, one of which is the most well-known but illegal and has the highest addictive effect is Heroin. This medicine is made from morphine, a natural substance extracted from the seeds of various poppy plants that grow in Southeast and Southwest Asia, Mexico, and Colombia.

Heroin is usually used as an anesthetic which is quite potent in surgical procedures. When heroin enters the brain and binds to opioid receptors on cells in various areas, you usually won’t feel any pain even if you are in the process of surgery. On the other hand, heroin can also provide pleasure and affect your heart rate, sleep and breathing processes. (hellosehat.com)

Do opioids have a negative impact on their use? OF COURSE AND A LOT!

Opioids are drugs with side effects that we cannot underestimate, with lower doses, opioids can cause various side effects, including; nausea, dry mouth vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, depression, sweating, and also lowers testosterone levels. Then in higher doses this opioid can slow down breathing and heart rate. And of course, the most worrying side effect is that it can cause death.

Have we ever realized that we are taking opioids? It could happen !

How could we not, as the general public when we find ourselves hospitalized, opioid compounds may enter our bodies and we don’t realize it, after a long time we just realized that from some of the above symptoms we have felt together.

Did you ever consume heroin or other narcotics in your youth as addiction? Well don’t blame the past, we can only give the best for our next life, not regret it, it’s really useless if we continue to live in regret.

So what can we do now?

Did we find a scientific solution to the treatment of this opioid?

Let’s talk together from a medical point of view which incidentally is one of the treatment options accepted by the world’s eyes, “There are many anecdotal reports showing that kratom has some pain relieving properties and has helped users transition from prescription opioids to this product,” said Chris McCurdy, Ph.D., a professor of medicinal chemistry at UF College of Pharmacy. “Scientifically, this is one of the most important kratom studies released showing support as a potential treatment option for opioid withdrawal syndrome or opioid use disorder.” (pharmacy.ufl.edu)

In fact, kratom has been consumed by people in Southeast Asia for a very long time, but now its use continues to increase to almost all over the world, including in the Americas. Of course, behind all the controversy about kratom, you can look for facts about kratom itself, regardless of political perceptions, or economic perspectives.

Magictree always offers ways of thinking from various points of view for us together to decide our attitude to address kratom, the choice is yours, whether you have to be trapped in one point of view, or you can also find out how the real benefits of kratom are.
