Dehydration caused by kratom: Interesting facts and hidden risks

Although this is not substantiated information, we can state with the highest probability that the connection between kratom and the beginning of dehydration of the organism really exists. Let's focus on the established evidence on this topic and how to possibly avoid unpleasant situations associated with this problem. 

Loss of water in our body is observed very often among kratom users. These are not striking differences, but even small nuances in the water content can make a decent difference in our body. How to fight with unpleasant conditions or how to prevent them completely?

You will learn everything important in the following lines!

Can kratom really cause dehydration?

Mitragyna speciosa, as kratom is called in Latin, is a tree native to Southeast Asia. Natives have been using it for decades to solve their everyday problems. In our country, its ever-increasing popularity only appeared in recent years. 

There is insufficient clinical evidence for kratom-induced dehydration, but users are clear. According to anecdotal studies, there also appears to be a connection between plant alkaloids and the excretory system.

The compounds in kratom affect our entire body. The alkaloids in kratom can delay the feeling of thirst in our body and in this way we are able to get to the point of dehydration.

Apart from this fact, kratom is also a diuretic supplement, which means that it can increase the excretion of fluids and electrolytes from our body through the kidneys. The combination of reduced need to drink and increased diuretic activity can result in the aforementioned dehydration. Among other things, during excessive excretion, important minerals and salt also get out of our body, which can greatly disrupt our homeostasis. 

Symptoms of dehydration after taking kratom

Let's take a closer look at how dehydration after kratom can manifest itself. We should not ignore these symptoms and should always address this problem immediately. 

Dizziness

Dehydration causes a drop in blood pressure. This process can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. 

Drowsiness

The onset of dehydration is also accompanied by fatigue, reduced concentration and problems maintaining attention. 

Headache 

These pains can range from mild to severe. 

Dry mouth

A completely clear indicator is also dry mouth, which can make it difficult for us to speak or eat food, for example. This is one of the clearest signs that it's time to increase your water intake. 

Dark colored urine

If you have been dehydrated for a long time, you will probably notice that your urine has a dark yellow or even brownish tint. 

Confusion

Difficulty concentrating can get to the point where you don't know where you are and your thoughts are foggy. 

Increased heart rate

The heart starts to beat faster due to the lack of pressure and we can feel very strong and fast beats in our chest compared to the normal state. 

Muscle cramps

Increased excretion of salt and minerals from our body also results in increased muscle spasms. Muscles are also weaker and we may experience problems with movement even during normal activities. 

Dry skin

Dry skin shows an "unhealthy" color, among other things, it is more susceptible to infections and other dermatological problems. 

We would certainly find a larger number of similar symptoms, but this list will be enough for us to get an idea. These are the most common side effects of dehydration, and more than one kratom user has experienced some of them. 

How to avoid dehydration after kratom?

If you use kratom on a regular basis, it is very important to follow the basic recommendations regarding use and dosage. Let's look at the basic principles of how we can avoid dehydration after taking kratom:

Do not mix kratom with diuretics

We do not assume that you use diuretics on a regular basis, but you should avoid using them together with any medication. The still limited knowledge about kratom and its effect on other drugs is the subject of current research, therefore we should avoid different combinations, since even scientists do not know the exact patterns for interactions of individual drugs with kratom. 

Hydrate your body and skin

One of the simplest recommendations is hydration in general. The drinking regime is one of the cornerstones of overall prevention against all undesirable conditions of our body. So we shouldn't underestimate it even if we don't use kratom. 

As for our skin, we should also take special care of it. Quality lotions, moisturizing creams and various other cosmetics can greatly help our skin and prevent it from drying out. Adequate hydration of the skin minimizes the risk of various bacterial infections or eczema, among other things. 

Replenish electrolytes

Especially during intense training in hot temperatures, sweat secretion increases and our body becomes dehydrated again. In this case, we recommend using, in addition to pure water, various ionic drinks or drinks containing electrolytes, which can quickly replenish the missing substances and thus we will feel hydrated throughout our training. 

How to manage dehydration after kratom?

If you have already started to observe some of the symptoms, it is time to move on to a quick solution to this problem. If we don't deal with this condition, we could probably end up with much more serious unpleasant conditions that would probably have to be dealt with by a doctor. Here are some basic tips:

Food supplements

Nowadays, there is a truly abundant amount of dietary supplements on the market, which, according to sellers, can "help us with every problem". During excessive excretion, a large amount of minerals, vitamins and salt are removed from our body, so we would recommend first supplementing these basic stones of our normal functioning. Later, we would consult everything with the attending physician or, for example, a nutrition specialist. 

Reducing the dose of kratom

In the event that you begin to experience the first symptoms of dehydration after kratom, there is nothing easier than reducing the dose of kratom administered. It is important to keep the dosage under control at all times and to pay constant attention to it, because tolerance to kratom develops very quickly. 

Focus on your lifestyle

A healthy diet and clean water can really do wonders for our body. When dehydrated, diet is even one of the most important factors on the way to normal functioning. 

How to avoid dehydration in general?

If you think that drinking enough water is enough, you are wrong. Yes, drinking is the main factor in dehydration, but there are many other factors that we will discuss in detail in the following lines. 

Drinking regime

As we have already mentioned, the drinking regime is one of the main factors. We recommend setting up a water drinking schedule that you will follow every day. Each of us is unique, so it is impossible to determine the exact value that is sufficient as a drinking regime. We should replenish liquids continuously during the day, for these purposes a compiled drinking regime plan will help us very well. By following the drinking regimen, we avoid not only dehydration, but also many other problems that are associated with a lack of water in our body. 

Foods with a high water content

Even if it doesn't seem like it, water often appears in our food as well. For example, cucumber, watermelon or orange are known for their high water content and we should also include them in our diet. 

Caution with starting dehydration

In the event that you begin to experience some of the above-mentioned dehydration symptoms after kratom, it is very important to follow the advice that you have been able to find in this article. If even these absolute basics do not help you and the side effects keep escalating, it is time to find a doctor who will surely know how to deal with this problem. 

If you decide to buy kratom, always look for it from reputable sellers who guarantee its quality and that there will be no additives in the products that could make dehydration worse. Also, pay attention to the basic rules of using kratom and follow the drinking regime.
