Javanica, KraThum Na

The Mystical Tale of “ KraThum Na “

Deeply hidden in the pristine wilderness of Thailand, a remarkable tree known as “KraThum Na,” with the botanical name Mitragyna javanica, grows. This tree, with its elegant leaves and sturdy trunk, has been regarded for centuries by the indigenous people as a gift from nature. Although less well-known than its relative, Mitragyna speciosa, Mitragyna javanica carries its own aura of mystery and magic.

The indigenous people quickly noticed that the leaves of the tree possessed a special power. When they brewed an infusion from the leaves, they felt a calm energy flow through their body, as if nature itself was granting her strength. The tree became a symbol of balance and purity, with powers that only worked for those with a pure heart.

The Healing Tree of the Villagers

From generation to generation, Mitragyna javanica became a symbol of support and equilibrium. The villagers used its leaves to brew tea that helped with minor discomfort and in exciting times. While its effects were milder compared to other herbs, they valued the balance the tree offered without causing dependency.

The Secret of the Leaves

When Western researchers discovered the region, they became fascinated by the tales of Mitragyna javanica. Scientists began studying the tree and found that its leaves contained alkaloids, such as mitrajavine. Unlike kratom, Mitragyna javanica was subtler and safer, making it appealing to those seeking a natural way to find both energy and calmness.

Within the Mitragyna family, compounds such as mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine naturally occur. However, in Mitragyna javanica, also known as ‘Kra Thum Na’—a lesser-known species within this family—these compounds are present only in very minimal or barely detectable amounts. This gives Javanica a distinct profile that clearly sets it apart from other, more well-known species in the family.
