About this audiobook
What is Kratom? A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding the Plant, Its Uses, and Risks
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, traditionally used for energy, stamina, and pain relief. For centuries, workers in Thailand and Malaysia chewed its leaves to fight fatigue, while others brewed it into tea for relaxation. Today, kratom is consumed worldwide in the form of capsules, powders, and extracts.
At low doses, kratom acts as a stimulant; at higher doses, it produces opioid-like calming effects. Many people use it for pain relief, mood enhancement, or to ease withdrawal from narcotics. But while some see it as a natural alternative, concerns remain. The FDA warns of serious safety risks, toxicity, and the potential for dependency.
