Kratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Its botanical name is Mitragyna speciosa. The leaves of the kratom tree contain alkaloids, such as mitragynine and 7-hydroxy mitragynine, which can produce various effects when consumed.

How is Kratom Traditionally Used?

In traditional Southeast Asian medicine, kratom leaves have been used for their stimulant, analgesic, and sedative effects. In the Western world, kratom has gained popularity as a recreational drug and as a natural remedy for various conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and opioid addiction.

How is Kratom Used Today?

Kratom is usually consumed by chewing the fresh leaves, brewing them into tea, or grinding the dried leaves into a powder that can be mixed with water or other liquids. It is also available in capsule and extract forms.

The leaves of the plant can be used to make tea or chewed fresh. When consumed raw they produce effects similar to that of opiates or stimulants such as caffeine or nicotine. When brewed into a tea, it produces sedative effects similar to opiates or benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium®) or chlordiazepoxide (Librium®).

Some Benefits of Kratom

Kratom has been used for over 1,000 years in these regions of the world where they pick and chew the leaves for many reasons, not the least of which is, the promotion of energy for working, increased mental clarity, help to get through a hard working day, and much more. In the USA, most kratom is typically sold in powdered form (either in capsules or bulk powder), or in extract form (liquids, powders, tablets, etc)

Quality Kratom is pure kratom plant leaves and nothing else added to "enhance" or artificially alter the effects.
