What are some different methods of ingesting kratom or pods in such a way that minimize throat and esophageal (food pipe) irritation. I started taking kratom for throat/esophageal pain and found that the only way I could take it without causing further irritation (defeating the purpose of taking it in the first place) is to toss and wash the 15x extract. This is because it only takes one or two quick swallows to get the dose down. When I make a tea out of the leaves, the resulting liquid solution is much harsher than downing them in their solid state. However, when I toss and wash with plain leaf kratom, the large amount (10 grams) that I must swallow becomes irritating even though it is in solid form. With the extract, this isn't a problem because I only need to swallow 1 or 2 grams. However, I can not continue to use kratom as a daily pain reliever at the cost that the extract is.
Is there any way of making a tincture that only requires that small amounts be ingested to achieve a desired effect?
Any other methods of extraction would be appreciated! Remember, I'm trying to maximize effect, while sparing irritation to my throat/esophagus. Usually, the higher the potency the better, because I find that one harsh swallow quickly chased by a sugary fruit juice is better than having to drink a large coffee mug's worth of lower potency material.
Thanks!
