What Is Kratom?

Kratom is an evergreen tree indigenous to Southeast Asia that is quickly becoming popular among American people because of its health and wellness properties. Kratom comes from the Rubiaceae family of plants, making it a cousin of the coffee bean. The scientific name of Kratom is mitragyna speciosa and was given by Peter Korthals, a Dutch botanist who first documented Kratom from a historical perspective. The Kratom is very peculiar and only grows in certain climates, usually hot and humid temperatures, this tree requires certain elemental characteristics in order to survive. The tree needs excessive water and rich fertile soil in order to present the most potent leaves for the consumer.

The earliest known uses of Kratom leaves by people were from the late 1880s as was documented by Korthal’s, however, Kratom has been used for centuries by the natives living in these areas. Kratom has been involved in their society for long periods of time as an ancient medicinal herb by these people long before the outside world discovered this tree.

The leaves of the Kratom trees are farmed and then harvested at our sister locations in various spots around Indonesia. The leaves are then put through a drying process to arrive at the desired blend we require. Next, the leaves are ground into a fine powder and shipped to us where it goes through strenuous lab testing before we put the finishing touches on it. Each stage is a process that requires attention to detail that every vendor should be involved with.

What Is The Importance of Kratom?

The most beneficial part of the plant, which has been known to host certain wellness characteristics when consumed, are compounds in Kratom called alkaloids. Since the beginning of 1921, scientists have been interested in the Kratom leaf. Particularly because of the alkaloids that present in this plant. These alkaloids have been said to have medicinal properties and, depending on the age of the tree, climate changes, and other variables like these, make up a potent alkaloid content of the leaf. Scientists discovered there were two main alkaloid properties that make up the Kratom leaf.

These two alkaloids are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Upon further discovery, researchers discovered that mitragynine was the most abundant alkaloid found in the leaf, however, it was not fully elucidated until 1964. It was through this elucidation process that scientists discovered the second alkaloid called 7-hydroxymitragynine. While 7-hydroxymitragynine is not found in abundance as mitragynine, researchers learned that 7-hydroxymitragynine was definitely the most powerful alkaloid of the two. While these two alkaloids are not the only alkaloids present in the Kratom leaf, they are the most profound and one of the reasons why consumers love this plant so much.

Is Kratom Legal Abroad?

In Thailand, one of the countries of origin, Kratom powder is illegal to consume without prior approval and several other countries also are considering a ban as well. Kratom is native to Thailand, where the consumption of this plant is illegal to drink. However, the Thai government has recently approved the use of medical Kratom powder to specific individuals who apply for this permission. Over the years, Kratom’s native land has applied laws and regulations against the use of this powerful plant, thereby creating a black market of sorts in this country. The Thailand government not only doesn’t allow the possession of Kratom tea to their citizens, but they also do not allow the tree to grow. In fact, any Kratom tree discovered without prior admissible approval by the Thailand government will be cut down. In 2010, Thailand’s Narcotic Control Board advocated for the decriminalization of Kratom claiming that Kratom tea was part of their society’s culture for thousands of years.

Kratom has a bad reputation in Thailand, but this country is not the only country that feels pressure to criminalize it. Australia, Burma, Denmark, Finland, Romania, Poland, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Lithuania have also banned the usage of the Kratom.
