Introduction to the veins
There are three different veins namely:

Each vein is unique in its own way.
White veins

but with the White vein it is mainly mental. You are more focused, and you will find that you work neatly and orderly. Ideal for a long active working day.

Red vein kratom provides the most relaxing and relaxed feeling of the three veins. Perfect for relaxation after a long stressful day or chronic pain.
Green vein
Is often described as a combination of the White vein and Red vein. It is relaxing, energizing and euphoric. Relaxing and energizing may sound a bit odd, but in reality, it feels really great.
The euphoric effect makes you want to do things while you feel calm and comfortable in your head.
