Lately I have been using ethnobotanicals a lot, not a single week goes by that I do not take Kratom ,Kanna or Rhodiola. I tend to cycle them using the herbs on specific days, the days I require their effects. For example on a day where I am very active, I workout , I study or I work I tend to use Rhodiola Rosea to keep me energized and sharp I also use Kratom to help me with work . On days that I relax and I unwind , I tend to use favorite herb Sceletium Tortuosum= Kanna and as of recently I acquired a 20 times powderized Sceletium extract that I use. I never mix all of the herbs on the same day, but I have been known to use kratom and Kanna on the same day without ill effects.
Dang this is hard to start out with so I will begin with Kratom, on my usage of Kratom- I most recently started to use Mitragynia speciosa ( kratom).
My favorite brand of Kratom is Maeng Da Kratom, followed by a white strain of Indo Kratom.
I use Maeng Da Kratom before work in the work in the morning, I take 3 grams of Maeng Da Kratom capsules orally on an empty stomach and the effects come on around 30 minutes to 1 hour later. The reason I like Maeng Da Kratom is that it is very stimulating and activating, it stimulates me strongly both physically and mentally and it is great to use for work especially very monotonous and boring work, it essentially becomes more interesting and a lot easier. Maeng Da kratom is a good analgesic and for me it gets rid of certain pain that I get when I work a lot, like my ankles and it helps with back pain too. Maeng Da Kratom is euphoric and energizing initially and my head is clearer when I take it, work becomes easier, Music sounds a lot better, I feel energetic both physically and mentally, and this effects come up in 30 minutes to 1 hour and the energizing effects last for about 2 hours the and after this a slight sedative effects occurs.During the Kratom high I have been known to feel nauseaous and dizzy, this is a downside of the kratom high, For me I always now take my kratom with Ginger Ale, as Ginger decreases nausea and dizzy. Lights seem brighter after taking Kratom for me and music sounds better for me after Kratom, I never take real high dosages of Kratom usually around 2 to 3 grams of Maeng Da. Maeng Da Kratom provides stimulation and also feelings of sedation after the feelings of stimulation. I like low dosages of Kratom as the stimulation is the usual effect that predominates at this dosage and there is less nausea and dizziness at this dosage, plus I dont feel drugged up or intoxicated, I keep a clear head and essentially I feel better, there is no comedown with this dosages, though there does seem to be a slight desire to repeat the experience and at a lower dosage the sedative effects do not predominate. I had a bad experience with Maeng Da Kratom where once I took up to a dosage of 10 grams of Maeng Da , I felt very Euphoric initially but later on I felt groggy, sedated, Dizzy and very very nauseas and since then I only use low dosages of Maeng Da, usually around 2 to 3 grams. I try to leave a few days between kratom uses, I do not take Kratom every day.
The next Ethnobotanical that I really like as well is known as Rhodiola Rosea, I just started up with this one recently just as of the last year. Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogen and it seems to reduce stress levels, and increase energy levels, concentration and focus. I take Rhodiola that is standardized to 3 percent rosavin and 1 percent salidroside. This is very important in Rhodiola because at this standardized level it is most effective. I take Rhodiola in the morning 250 mg before breakfast and another dosage around noon of again 250 mg.
The effects of Rhodiola Rosea become apparent for me after about 30 minutes after intake, I notice that my mind feels a lot clearer and I notice that my level of mental tension and anxiety significantly drops. Rhodiola Rosea doesn't provide a high or buzz for me as with Kratom or Kanna but Rhodiola seems to keep me feeling mentally clearer and less stressed and it keeps my energy levels higher. Rhodiola Rosea helps my memory out as well and it helps out with my ability to concentrate and focus. Rhodiola also seems to significantly help me with Fatigue both mental and Physical literally Rhodiola Rosea can remove feelings of fatigue very efficiently and this effects becomes seen immediately the same day you use it. I take Rhodiola Rosea to help me workout, to help me study, to help me work, with a lot of stuff. For example when I use Rhodiola Rosea for working out, I always use it with a caffeine source such as a Herbal Yerba mate or a drink of coffee and the energy I get is unbelievable and my endurance doubles. I lift weights and Rhodiola Rosea has a very noticeable ergogenic effect, I am able to workout a lot longer, push myself a lot harder and my muscles are able to take more damage. I was able to go through a very intense workout a lot harder than usual thanks to the usage of Rhodiola. For me Rhodiola Rosea helps me out with sports, weight training, running because it helps my breathing like it seems I use my oxygen more efficiently. Anyways To get to the main point Rhodiola Rosea is great for sports as it increases energy and reduces fatigue pharmacologically - Rhodiola reduces cortisol levels in the body, it increases oxygen and ATP usage by muscles and it increases Dopamine and Serotonin in the brain so its a very effective Antidepressant as well.
I like to combine Rhodiola with Yerba mate as this increases energy and endurance by double , amazing preworkout. I love to use that combination as a preworkout. Infact I just ordered Rhodiola root tea, cause I want to see how it compares to to the standardized capsules I use and one more note Rhodiola Rosea I use it for studying as well it helps my memory, concentration and focus. The side effects of Rhodiola are worse if you take a lot of it in one day, I keep my dosages between 250 to 500 mg. Also I took a high dosage of rhodiola with an energy drink and I felt chest pains and anxiety. I had no problem combining Rhodiola Rosea with Coffee or Herbal yerba mate tea and Coffee increases the effects of Rhodiola as does yerba mate but with energy drinks you get side effects such as overstimulation and chest pains. I cycle usage and I usually only take Rhodiola 3-4 times a week on the days that I workout and that I study a lot. This prevents tolerance from building and keeps it working effectively. Rhodiola is effective for increasing Energy levels, as a preworkout, as a study aid, to increase memory, to reduce fatigue, to increase Physical endurance and slightly effective as a antidepressant.
The next herbal ethnobotanical is Kanna, Sceletium Tortuosum a succulent herb from South Africa. The days I dont take Rhodiola I use kanna, It isnt good to mix Rhodiola with Kanna as it can feel quite overstimulating.
Currently I am using Powderized Kanna. I have used a rough cut or smokers cut that isnt powderized but stems and twigs, the rough cut is good for smoking and chewing in your mouth. Powderized Kanna you can snort, swallow and chew with gum.
I am very proficient at using Kanna, I have used it for a few years. I can actually taste a batch of Kanna and I can tell if it is legitimate and good or if its a rip off. A lot of stuff sold as Kanna isnt Kanna. Kanna has to have a slight bitter taste, the colour should be light yellow to brown. The active alkaloids are mesembrine, tortuosamine, mesembrenol.
Kanna has stimulating properties it is reminiscent of MDMA but a lot milder significantly milder. After I take it orally effects come up in 15 minutes, I feel stimulation and I can feel talkative as well, at times I feel a very strong mood lift and Euphoria of mild to moderate intensity. The mood lift is always there. A rushing sensation is also felt after taking it. Appetite seems to be reduced and Anxiety and Tension are significantly reduced as well. The duration and intensity of these effects depends on the dosage taken,it can also depend on how long you have been taking Kanna or at how many times you took it in a single day. Kanna has reverse tolerance and if you take Kanna a few days in a row or more frequently in a single day the effects come on stronger each time. Like today I took Kanna in the morning and just now and the effects feel a lot stronger the second time I took it.
Social anxiety lessens, you feel more talkative, I smile a lot when I take Kanna and I feel stimulated. It is a very nice feeling for me and a reason I enjoy using it. The effects of the buzz last for 1 to 3 hours for me. Kanna also produces a body buzz( my muscles relax) , and my appetite is lowered. Tactile sensation can increase too and Music can sound better as well when you take Kanna. The buzz is enjoyable. It is pretty much a herbal MDMA but just a lot Milder. I am taking an powderized extract and dosages of 300 mg to 1 gram per day when I use it.
Anyways if anybody has questions then write them on here ill answer sometime , I know a lot about Kanna, Kratom and rhodiola and I have used and researched them thoroughly.
