How To Measure Kratom Without A Scale?

The new favorite herb of everyone, Kratom is now available to international destinations.

The historical myths about the potency of Kratom are no more a secret now. Today the whole world knows what magic can a Kratom create.

Kratom works best only on a certain amount. If you use too much of it, it can make you sick.

If you use it in less quantity, Kratom may not even work. It suggests that the working of Kratom needs a precise dosage and administration of it.

The dosage planning is dependent on quantity. You have to set an absolute limit and use it as a standard.

It is the reason that measuring Kratom should be very accurate and close to the exact dosage.

Dosage design is a tricky thing which no one knows before taking Kratom. This article will help you to understand how to measure Kratom to set a suitable dose.

Why is measuring Kratom necessary?

It is a common practice to use supplements and medicines in a particular amount. This quantity is called a dose which brings the best effects of it.

In case of Kratom, the whole power is due to the bioactive compounds called alkaloids.

Some prominent names among these alkaloids are mitragynine, 7 OH-mitragynine, and others. All of these are present in a particular quantity.

The human body responds to different amounts of these alkaloids differently.

For a standard type of effects, a user must consume some certain amount which is why we need an accuracy of dosage.

The accuracy of dosage is one thing, next thing is how to do it with ease. The best way to do it through a measurement.

Indirectly, measuring Kratom means selecting the dosage quantity for use.

How to measure Kratom at home?

If you are using Kratom powder, there is a dire need to gauge the powder by yourself.

Measurement is a calculative term which you can’t just guess it.

Also, you can use randomly high and low doses; they won’t help anyway.

The most common method to measure Kratom is a weighing scale. For this reason, one can use a standard kitchen scale or a chemical balance for more precise calculations.

The problem with using a scale is that not everyone has it. It is expensive to buy for many users, or some people may not know how to measure through scale.

Also, sometimes you just don’t have access to the scale, i.e., when you are out on vacation.

For this reason, it is a substantial requirement to understand and know the measuring methods of Kratom powder when you don’t have a scale.

The measurement is not a problem if you are using capsules. The measurement of Kratom is only necessary for Kratom powder and dry leaves.

What is a wrong way to measure Kratom?

Before knowing how to measure Kratom correctly, you must know which standard practice is not working.

For example, taking Kratom with any random size spoon from your kitchen is not a wise idea.

It has fewer chances to be consistent in one same spoon size with all strain types.

It is nearly impossible to guess how much Kratom you are taking. Hence, using any XYZ spoon becomes fiction and not a fraction.

Another bad practice is to use a hand for consuming Kratom powder. It doesn’t make any sense to use the hand for setting a dose.

The worst ever idea with using Kratom does not measure at all. It never satisfies the user and can never be a good idea.

Either it will show extreme effects or no effects, at all. Both ways, it is uncomfortable and damaging.

What is the right way to measure Kratom?

If you are new to Kratom, you need less amount to use. The moderate dose is what works best for most of the people. Both these types of dosages work better if you set them by using a

  • Tea spoon /Table spoon
  • Measuring cup
  • Digital measuring scale

This sequence is in descending order. Measuring through scale is the best way to know how much Kratom are you taking.

Using a tablespoon and tea spoon are second and third best methods respectively.

What is the alternative of scale?

The scale is a device which measures the weight.

It is same like your body weight machine or bathroom scale which you use to know your body’s weight.

For kitchen use, it is much lighter and has a lesser capacity.

The chemical balance is more sensitive than your average kitchen scale.

The alternatives of scales are easy to use kitchen utensils such as measuring cups and spoons.

  • Heaped spoon has extra Kratom powder which can disturb your dosage plan.
  • Always take one teaspoon at a time. Although it is okay to use up to 4 teaspoons Kratom if you are using toss and wash method, your mouth can’t handle more than one teaspoon at a time. It is bitter and fragrant. In more than one teaspoon it will make the user very uncomfortable.
  • Be quick while ingesting Kratom. Take the spoonful of Kratom and quickly take a big sip of water or orange juice.
  • Wish the water until you don’t feel any remaining Kratom powder. Consume it at once. Drink more water if you feel some powder is still remaining.
  • For multiple dosing, follow this same method again. However, do not take more than two doses of Kratom in one day to be on safe side.
