Work, family, relationships, school or other adult responsibilities have you feeling glum? You’re not alone. Understanding why you’re in a bad mood can help you better manage how you feel…but sometimes, that’s not enough.

NOTE: We’re not talking about depression here. If you’re clinically depressed, always seek out the help of a trained medical professional who can offer guidance, support, counseling, and if needed, medication.

What we’re talking about here is what millions of us feel daily, weekly or monthly. That slump in the day, or stress about life just seems to get the best of us and put us in an altogether unpleasant mood.

Be it feeling down, angry, upset or deflated…kratom might be able to help and here at The Kratom Connection we can advise you.

Kratom: An Uplifting and Euphoric Mood Enhancer 

Who doesn’t like feeling peppy and uplifted throughout the day? Whether you’re feeling tired, worn out, unappreciated or simply unmotivated, certain strains of kratom might be able to pick up your spirits.

In fact, one of the traditional uses of kratom by natives of Southeast Asia was as a euphoric energizing supplement to help them get through the monotonous and physically demanding workdays.

Sound familiar? Yeah, us too. We might not be slaving in fields for 15 hours a day, but sometimes it sure does feel like it. Coffee helps, but it can leave you jittery and only goes so far, while energy drinks can be quite unhealthy over time.

Enter Kratom, a botanical powder made from the harvested leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa. This evergreen tree, native to Southeast Asia, has long been a staple supplement in the east. In recent years, however, Western societies have flocked to this supplement, with more than 14.5 million users in the USA alone.

Much of kratom’s popularity comes from its versatility, being capable of offering both a relaxing and sedating effect, as well as an uplifting, energetic and invigorating experience (depending on the strain and dose).

Kratom Strains to Uplift Your Mood 

Kratom is available in several strains, often called ‘veins’. Although each strain is from the leaves of the same species of tree, they vary greatly in effect.

Factors that Influence a Strain’s Effects Include:

• The region where it was grown
• Climate 
• Maturity of the leaves 
• Veins of the leaves harvested
• How the leaves are processed

Green Malay Kratom 

Considered by many users to be among the most ‘euphoric’ of veins, Green Malay is made from the mature leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree. Green Malay is known for its strong aroma and effects, Green Malay is sourced from the Kapuas Hulu region near the borders of Malaysia. 

The strain is known for its uplifting and mood-enhancing properties, offering a strong to moderate euphoria mixed with a gentle energizing feel. This combination makes it best suited for those who want to uplift their mood, but not become too relaxed as a result. In other words, if you want to drown out the world and sink into the couch while you watch Netflix or take a nap, Green Malay isn’t the best option. It is also moderately strong as far as kratom strains are concerned, so beginners may want to start slow.

White Borneo 

A great strain for getting things done while taking the edge off and transforming any task into an enjoyable one. One of the more well-rounded strains, White Borneo offers a euphoric experience that is uplifting and motivating without being too energizing. Sourced from the Island of Borneo may be the balanced blending of mood enhancement and focus you’ve been looking for.

Green Maeng Da

Lighting energizing and moderately calming, Maeng Da strains rank among the most popular of kratom strains, and with good reason. They provide ample potency, reliable effects, and, depending on the particular strain (red, green etc.) can be either highly relaxing or incredibly uplifting. When it comes to Green Maeng Da, users benefit from both, with this particular vein of kratom providing subtle energy, mild euphoria, and a better mood that’ll help you get through the day.

Red Bali

Among the most popular strains, Red Bali comes from leaves with red veins, giving them a unique blend of naturally occurring alkaloids to elicit its desired effects. Enriched by native volcanic soil and the humid climate of Indonesia and Bali, this strain is potent and effective. While low doses offer a slightly energizing and uplifting feel along with improved mood, at moderate to higher doses Red Bali takes on a sedative soothing and mellowing effect.

The Best Strains of Kratom for Elevating Your Mood 

When it comes to kratom, personal preference, body chemistry, dose, and more can all play a big role in how it will affect someone. Because of this, many novice users often experiment with different strains and doses to find the perfect ‘sweet spot’ for their personal goals.

The options in this guide will give you a good head start in finding your own personal blend for uplifting your mood on those days when life has you down.

Remember, always enjoy responsibly.
