Kratom is a type of herbal plant that is very beneficial for the health of body

Mitragyna speciosa, better known as kratom, is the East Asian wonder herb which is starting to take the West by storm.

A tropical tree in the coffee family, it’s becoming increasingly popular with students and professionals who want more drive and focus. As well as sufferers of chronic illnesses who want relief from their symptoms, and drug addicts who need help in overcoming their withdrawal pangs.

Though people in the West are only starting to see its benefits in recent years, its medicinal properties have a long-established history in its native East Asian countries like Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Farm workers in Southeast Asia would commonly chew on the plant’s leaves or make it into a tea to give them more energy and focus when working. And when opium was in short supply, addicts used it as a substitute as it has a similar effect on your brain’s opioid receptors.

It’s been used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes, diarrhoea, fever, and relieve pain. This is because it contains more than 40 compounds and over 25 alkaloids, most notably mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.

This means kratom offers a wide range of health benefits.

Here are a few of them: Pain Relief, Overcoming Addictions, Reduces Stress, Anxiety and Depression, More Focus on Your Work or Studies, Kratom Enhances Motivation Levels, Promotes Heart Health, Greater Sex Drive, Sleep Deeper for Longer, Lowers Inflammation, Combats Diarrhea, Antioxidant Action of Kratom, Aids Weight Loss, Combats Fatigue.
