🌿 What is Kratom?
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family, native to the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. The leaves of this plant have been used for centuries in traditional herbal practices, especially among rural communities seeking relief from physical fatigue, mental stress, or pain.
📜 Origins & Historical Use
For centuries, kratom leaves have been used by native communities in Southeast Asia as a traditional remedy to combat fatigue, increase productivity, and provide natural relaxation. Farmers would often chew the leaves or brew them into tea to stay energized during long hours in the field.
The plant was first scientifically classified in the early 19th century by Dutch botanist Pieter Willem Korthals, who named it Mitragyna speciosa due to the mitre-shaped stigma of its flowers.
🔬 Alkaloids & Active Components
Kratom leaves contain more than 40 biologically active alkaloids. The two most prominent are:
- Mitragynine – most abundant, thought to produce stimulating effects at low doses.
- 7-Hydroxymitragynine – less abundant but more potent, often linked to sedative effects at higher doses.
These alkaloids interact with the body’s opioid, adrenergic, and serotonergic receptors, which has made kratom a subject of increasing interest in neuroscience, pharmacology, and natural wellness studies.
