What is mitragyna speciosa

Mitragyna Speciosa, also known as Kratom is tree, not an herb, which is native to Southeast Asia including Indonesia, Thailand, the Malaysian Floristic Region and several surrounding countries. The leaf of this tree is typically ground into a fine powder and ingested orally for many medicinal purposes. These include, but are not limited to Pain Relief, Decreased Anxiety, Mood Enhancement, Decreased Hypertension, Decreased Fatigue, Increased Focus, Relief of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Increased Energy and more.

This leaf has been used for centuries by the indigenous populations of these regions for increased energy, relief of dysentery, sedation in higher doses, pain relief and focus. The leaf was originally chewed or crushed and boiled for tea.

Kratom effects the opioid receptors in the brain similarly to an opiate, although it is NOT an opiate. Kratom is NOT a substitute for opiates. Over the last several years Kratom has been used as an aid for the management of opium withdrawal and is currently being endorsed by several addiction treatment clinics throughout the United States. In addition to its many natural benefits, it has been found to successfully curb the craving and withdrawal symptoms experienced by opiate addicts.

Kratom has seen extensive therapeutic use in Thai ethnomedicine as an antidiarrheal, a treatment for opioid dependency, and the increase of sexual performance. The general consensus in Thailand among public health officials, academics and policymakers is that the use of Kratom causes little to no health risks.

The benefits of kratom for the user.....

According to Jodi Elizabeth kratom is very helpful in treating opiate addiction that he experienced for 20 years while we know the opium is sap raw material narcotics obtained from opiate material (papaver somniferum or paeoniflorum) immature. Because kratom can neutralize opium and addiction, in addition to kratom can also help overcome chronic pain and improve mood. Jodi Elizabeth in her speech she loves kratom and is very helpful in opium, please do. does not prohibit this plant because this plant helps in opiate dependence. would be better without opium, and now the FDA wants to ban the very tough kratom plants that circulate in the United States because they link 36 deaths due to kratom, but the news circulating does not prove strong in banning kratom ..

please help kratom to remain legal and useful for mankind ...
