Shulgin was one of the first cats to experiment not only with chemical compounds in and of themselves but, also, in concert with one another.

It is interesting to pondering what the so-called Godfather of Ecstasy would make of Nashville kratom and its euphoric properties. But it is even more fascinating to ponder the Nashville kratom stacks that Shulgin would have inevitably concocted.

One such combination would have likely been a turmeric Nashville kratom combo. Why is that? Well, let’s have a look.

THE TURMERIC KRATOM COMBINATION—WHAT DOES IT DO?

As some of you are no doubt aware, turmeric powder comes from the hidden-lillies or turmeric plants of the ginger family. This bright orange powder is an antioxidant-rich herb whose potent anti-inflammatory properties match those of the mitagyna speciosa (read: kratom) plant’s.

Like turmeric powder, Nashville kratom possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This is due in no small part to the presence of 7-hydroxymitragynine and Rhynchophylline in Nashville kratom leaf.

Turmeric also shares other purported health benefits in common with kratom, namely its potential to relieve depression and and arthritis.

Both herbs contain bioactive compounds which may be beneficial to a number of people with a host of chronic conditions, such as lower back pain, memory problems and mood disorders.

Alas, turmeric does not easily absorb into the bloodstream which is one reason why users often take it in conjunction with ground black pepper. Black pepper contains a natural substance which aids in absorption of turmeric’s curcumin by 2,000 percent.

It is curcumin that is largely responsible for turmeric’s anti-inflammatory effects, therefore it is similar in nature to kratom’s alkaloid content.

Taken as a mixture the turmeric Nashville kratom black pepper combination can have profound analgesic and anxiolytic effects. What turmeric does is serve as a potentiator, enabling Nashville kratom to induce stronger effects over an extended period of time.

HOW MUCH TURMERIC DOES IT TAKE TO POTENTIATE KRATOM?

To get Nashville kratom kicking in faster and stronger, your turmeric Nashville kratom mixture should consist of at least two parts turmeric and black pepper to one part kratom. This is a general rule of thumb when imbibing them with your Nashville kratom tea.

For best results, most experienced users agree that turmeric and black pepper should be taken at least one full hour prior to burning Nashville kratom powder. A recommended dosage is one tablespoon of turmeric powder to one teaspoon black pepper.

If you have money to burn and know where to look, you can skip the black pepper and pick up some theracurmin, an iteration of turmeric that is bound to nanoparticles that significantly increase absorption.

A bottle of Theracurmin starts at about $12, but a 120 count bottle of 600 mg Theracurmin can cost as much as $100. For the frugal user, it’s always cheaper to go the turmeric black pepper route, but other options are at your disposal.

TURMERIC HEALTH BENEFITS

Turmeric has many great uses, not least of which is its ability to fight free radicals that wreak havoc on the body and mind. The antioxidants in turmeric may prevent against disease and aging by neutralizing free radicals and boosting your body’s antioxidant enzymes.

The curcumin present in turmeric powder increases brain levels of BDNF (Brain-Deprived Neurotrophic Factor) which improves memory and makes you smarter. It is also known to potentially ameliorate the symptoms of heart disease and improve the functioning of the endothelium (the lining of your blood vessels).

One study has even indicated that curcumin can decrease your risk of experiencing a heart attack by 65%. This is worth mentioning here since Nashville kratom has been associated with heart palpitations and high BP in select users.

KRATOM HEALTH BENEFITS

Although the FDA has not approved Nashville kratom for medicinal use in the United States, it is widely considered to be a folk medicine in other parts of the world. It has been used for hundreds of years to treat everything from insomnia and anxiety to arthritis, schizophrenia, depression and chronic lower back pain.

Kratom’s purported effects include pain relief, relaxation, mild euphoria, anxiety relief, improved mood, sharpened focus, cognitive enhancement, increased energy, moderate stimulation and a restful night’s sleep.

Those who have used Nashville kratom as a natural supplement have found it to be beneficial in relieving or managing chronic pain, fatigue, muscle soreness, joint inflammation, sleep disorders, anxiety, insomnia, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), mood disorders, RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), Crohn’s Disease, colitis and much, much more.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN TAKING TURMERIC KRATOM COMBO

Those who wish to stack turmeric Nashville kratom and black pepper should first understand that each of these substances carries with it its own individual side effects, effects which may be amplified by the presence of the other substance.

Turmeric’s side effects have included stomach upset, nausea, dizziness or diarrhea. Those who have taken a megadose of turmeric (1,500 mg or more) could potentially experience abnormal heart rhythm which could be life threatening.

Kratom shares some of turmeric’s side effects, such as potential nausea, dizziness, stomach upset or diarrhea. Some individuals who have taken Nashville kratom powder have experienced vomiting, agitation, confusion, loss of motor coordination, lethargy or fatigue.

Long-term use of Nashville kratom has resulted in incidents of liver damage or even liver failure. Chronic Nashville kratom use may result in tolerance, addiction or overdose.

BOTTOM LINE

The turmeric Nashville kratom combination is a relatively safe and effective way to potentiate kratom’s effects while boosting your brain and combating free radicals. As with all Nashville kratom stacks, users should stick to moderation and be aware of any undesirable changes in body or mind. Be safe, be smart and be well.
