Kidney Stone and Kratom

Kidney stones (which are also called urolithiasis, nephrolithiasis, or renal calculi) are the term used for the deposition of minerals and salts inside of the kidneys. There are several causes of kidney stones such as medications, certain supplements, medical conditions, and excessive body weight. A diet that is excessively rich in minerals and salts can also cause kidney stones. From kidneys to the bladder, kidney stones can affect any part of the urinary tract. The formation of stonesusually results from the sticking together of minerals when the urine becomes concentrated.

In ordinary conditions, stones cause no permanent damage. They can be passed out from the body by drinking excess water and taking pain medications. However, the passing of kidney stones can be quite painful. Sometimes the kidney stones become lodged in the urinary tract which can lead to a urinary infection or cause complications. In these situations, surgery is compulsory to remove kidney stones.

Some major signs and symptoms of Kidney stones are as follows:

• Severe and sharp pain
• Radiating pain to the lower abdomen and groin
• Fluctuating pain
• Pain with burning sensation during urinating.

People use different treatments to get relief from kidney stone pain such as pain-relieving drugs, opiates, or painkiller pills. All of these treatments have some sorts of side effects. For example, opiates which can produce analgesic effects can develop their dependence in the body as well. Some people even develop an addiction to pain-relieving drugs after using them for a long period.

In this situation, Kratom can be a potential natural treatment for the pain caused by kidney stones. Although it is not a medically accepted treatment of kidney stone, Kratom has strong pain-relieving properties, according to the research studies.

How does Kratom work for Kidney Stone?

Before discussing the working of Kratom in the alleviation of kidney stone pain, it is important to mention here that Kratom does not play any role in the passing of kidney stones from the body. So, you can only take it to alleviate the pain caused by kidney stones.

Kratom (especially leaves) is rich in several active alkaloids. According to a scientific study, Kratom contains almost 20 different alkaloids among which 2 are most important. These 2 alkaloids are Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine. These active alkaloids interact with the opioid receptors responsible for pain regulation in the brain. After binding with these receptors, both Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine produce pain-relieving effects in the body due to which Kratom provides relief from the pain caused by Kidney stones. The pain-relieving properties of Kratom are so strong that Kratom is 13 times more potent than morphine.

So, an appropriate dosage of Kratom can provide relief from the radiating pain caused by Kidney stones. However, you should always avoid a high dosage of Kratom because it can cause cognition impairment and strong sedative effects.

Apart from providing pain relief, there are many other health benefits of using Kratom for Kidney stones such as:
