Mitragyna Speciosa – commonly known as Kratom – is an evergreen tropical tree. M.Speciosa grows mainly in areas of Southeast Asia. The natural ecosystems of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand are home to most of the 'wild' M.Speciosa. Under the right conditions in these tropical jungles, the height of the plants exceeds 15 meters.
The first written accounts of the use of Kratom by indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia date back 150 years. They reported that chewing the leaves had stimulating effects and greatly helped with hard manual work, while boiling them into tea had analgesic and relaxing effects. Considering that the tree is native to various countries in Southeast Asia, it is a reasonable assumption that its traditional use by local societies has a history of thousands of years.
We provide you with the leaves of the plant in a more special, whole form. You can try to test the whole leaves in a way that is more "traditional" - by chewing them. Anecdotally chewing Kratom leaves seems to lead to more uplifting effects in comparison with using the powdered leaves orally. A possible explanation is that more uplifting effects have to do with buccal absorption of the bioactive substances of Kratom. We can also add that the leaves in their whole form have intact their stems and veins, leading to more full spectrum effects. And last but not least, when the leaves are whole instead of powdered, their tea is certainly less bitter. Mixing them with other Kratom strains from our collection could lead to interesting experiences!
