Liquid kratom is extracted from a tropical deciduous tree that remains green throughout the year. The tree falls in the coffee family and is native to the southern parts of Asia. The tree was first described by a Dutch colonial botanist. The same botanist was responsible for giving this plant its scientific name. Further studies about the substance have been conducted by modern day scientists and its effects are now known. It is used for medical reasons.
The tree is also called by other names such as kranthom and krantum. The way it grows varies depending on the climate within the area. For example, it is observed that it can grow up to nine meter maximum under ordinary circumstances although when given extra care, it grows to over 30 meters. There exists many strains under this plant family and each varies slightly from the other.
The stem of krantum is erect and produces branches at different intervals. The leaves have a dark green color. The length of the leaves is normally 7 inches while the width is 4 inches and are opposite in growth pattern. The shape of the leaves is ovate-acuminate. Flowers grow in clusters and are in most cases produced at the end of the branch.
Kranthom grows by itself in Southern regions of Asia though in other locations around the globe, it gets cultivated by humans. The tree grows healthily with no human involvement in Thailand in comparison to other places in the world where it requires special attention. Although it gets provided with much care, it still does not do very well compared to its region of origin.
Traditionally, men and boys in South Asia chew the leaves of this plant as a hobby or for pleasure. The plant is not considered harmful or as a drug in any way. As such, there is no stigma connected to the substance at all. Men start chewing it at the age of twenty five and continue till death in places where it grows naturally. However, there are some countries in the native region of this plant that make its use illegal.
Current scientific research shows that liquid extracted from kranthum has many health effects. It is composed of more than 40 unique substances including alkaloids like 7-hydroxymitragynine, mitragynine, and mitraphylline. Other active compounds consist of raubasine and corynantheidine.
It is found that it can be used for treatment of a number of conditions. It is used to treat addiction in people. This is possible because of the Mitragyna alkaloids that are present in the leaves of the plant. It is also used to treat many other medical conditions such as fatigue, diabetes, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. It is an effective antioxidant and is also used for treating high blood pressure.
Liquid kratom is forbidden in some nations around the globe because it is thought to cause undesired effects in users. Violators are usually sentenced to a jail time and/or charged a fine. The substance can only be accessed from health centers under prescription by certified medical practitioners.
