Hello, I have a question. I know you can take Kratom to help with detox, I was wondering since I already have a good bit of a green leaf bag of kratom left will it help like the red strain does? Does it matter what strain or leaf it is? I know the red has worked for me in the past, is it all of the leafs or just the red that will work?

All strains contain mitragynine and as such will help.
you are awesome, thanks for the response

like negrogesic said, all strains contain various and comparable levels of mitragynine and 7-hydroxy-mitragynine. That's really what you are looking for.
There are also 32+ other known alkaloids in kratom strains which make them slightly different in effect and potency.
The difference is ultimately small, though.
I can tell the difference between cannabis strains easier than kratom strains.
meang da kratom compared to bali kratom is the most drastic difference and I could probably tell the difference between those 2 strains (blindfold).
I have never been able to tell the difference between "red leaf" and "green leaf" or whatever. Only major geographical strain differences... such as meang da vs bali.

AHH, well i know the difference because of the effects. I have had 12 spinal surgeries. Some of the Kratom leafs do not help me at all. It has been a while since I took some for this purpose. How well does it work for this purpose? Like does it take it away completely?

No for withdrawal I believe (it's in the title).
Kratom will reduce 70-90% of the symptoms of mild to somewhat moderate opioid withdrawal. It will dampen severe withdrawal. For extremely severe withdrawal from high doses of opioids it does very little however and can even make it worse. I've been in ultra high dose IV heroin withdrawal where kratom was more trouble than it was worth. Actually just made me feel worse and too difficult to consume.

I've always advocated kratom for PAWS not acute withdrawal.
