Understanding Kratom: A Brief Overview
Kratom, derived from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree native to Southeast Asia, has gained popularity for its potential health benefits.
Traditionally used for its stimulating and discomfort-relieving properties, Kratom has found its way into the modern wellness world. It contains active compounds known as alkaloids, including Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine, which interact with receptors in the brain to produce a range of effects.
Benefits of Kratom
- Discomfort Relief: Kratom is often used as a natural alternative, helping to alleviate chronic discomfort, muscle aches, and joint discomfort.
- Mood Enhancement: Many users report improved mood and a sense of well-being, making Kratom a popular choice for those dealing with chronic mental overwhelm or uneasiness.
- Energy Boost: At lower serving sizes, Kratom can provide a stimulating effect, enhancing energy levels and focus.
- Relaxation: Higher serving sizes of Kratom are known for their calming effects, which can help with relaxation and sleep.
Preparing Kratom Butter - A Simple Recipe
Ingredients:
To begin making your Kratom Butter, you will need the following materials.
- 4 sticks of butter (2 cups)
- 14 grams (14,000 mg) of Loose Leaf Kratom
- 1 medium pot
- 1 whisk
- 1 medium/large glass bowl
- 1 cheesecloth
- 1 ½ cups of water
- 1 cup of water (additional: added gradually during simmer)
- 1 butter mold or airtight container
Instructions:
Combine 4 sticks of butter and 1 ½ cup of water in a medium pot and simmer on low. Once the butter is melted, add your Loose Leaf Kratom to the pot and gently stir with a whisk.
Let the butter, water, and Loose Leaf Kratom combination simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Try to keep your butter at a low simmer so as not to damage the Alkaloids in the Kratom.
You should see very small bubbles forming during the simmer. If you start to see a rolling boil, turn the heat down. We don’t want the butter or Kratom to burn!
Add ¼ cup of water every 30 minutes to replace the water that will evaporate during its simmer.
After you hit your 3 hour mark, you may now strain your Kratom butter into the glass bowl with the cheese cloth pulled tight over the bowl. Strain and squeeze all the butter out being careful not to burn your hands.
Leave your Kratom butter to cool on the counter for about 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to pouring into your mold.
In the fridge: your Kratom butter will stay good for up to 8 weeks in an airtight container.
In the freezer: If you wish to store for a longer period of time, place your Kratom butter in an airtight, freezer safe container like a vacuum bag to reduce air exposure. This should keep your butter good for about 6 months.
Common Uses for Kratom Butter
Culinary Delights
- Baking: Incorporate Kratom Butter into baked goods like cookies or muffins for a unique flavor profile with potential calming effects. Remember that the effects of Kratom can be potent, so consider the serving size of your baked goods.
- Spreads: Use it as a spread on toast or pancakes, adding a subtle herbal note to your breakfast.
- Tea Enhancement: Stir Kratom Butter into your favorite herbal tea for a soothing beverage that combines the benefits of both.
Understanding the Mitragynine Content
To determine the amount of Mitragynine in each tablespoon of Kratom butter, we can break down the process into a few steps.
- Total Mitragynine = Weight of Kratom x Mitragynine Percentage
- In our recipe we have 14 grams (14,000 mg) of Kratom with 1.3% Mitragynine:
- Total Mitragynine = 14,000 mg x 0.013 = 182 mg
- Four sticks of butter equal 2 cups, and 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. Thus, 2 cups equal 32 tablespoons.
- Mitragynine per tablespoon = Total Mitragynine/Total tablespoons
- Mitragynine per tablespoon = 182 mg/32 = 5.69 mg
So, each tablespoon of Kratom butter would contain approximately 5.69 mg of Mitragynine.
Safety and Considerations
While Kratom Butter offers a novel way to incorporate Kratom into your daily routine, it’s essential to use it responsibly. Start with small amounts to gauge your tolerance and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
