What is Kratom? 

In the simplest sense, Kratom is an evergreen tree that grows natively in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts of South-East Asia. The tree has been used for hundreds if not over 1,000 years by the native and indigenous peoples of SE Asia to aid their lives in many ways. Tradition is held strongly regarding fresh organic kratom. The workers in the farms and villages would pick kratom leaves (Mitragyna Speciosa) and chew on the leaves in a similar fashion as chewing tobacco. Allowing the active chemicals in the plant to absorb sublingually through the mouth and bring on positive feelings such as elevated mood and emotions, more energy than coffee but without the downsides and crash afterwards.
