Hirsuta, Kra Thum Khok

Mitragyna hirsuta, better known as “Kra Thum Khok” in Thailand, is a remarkable tree that is indigenous to Southeast Asia and grows in several forests in Thailand.

This tall and majestic tree belongs to the Rubiaceae family and has a long history of use in the traditional medicine of the region.

For generations, local communities have relied on the beneficial properties of Mitragyna hirsuta to address various ailments, primarily due to its ability to support and soothe sensitive muscles.

While the family name shares similarities with its relative Mitragyna speciosa ( kratom), the Hirsuta ‘Kra Thum Khok’ has its own unique chemical composition. Praised for its powerful herbal benefits, Mitragyna hirsuta continues to play an important role in traditional use and provides natural support.

The enduring reputation as a potent herb underscores its place in the rich botanical heritage of Southeast Asia.

Compounds such as Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine naturally occur within the Mitragyna family. However, in the Hirsuta variety, known as ‘Kra Thum Khok’, only negligible or barely detectable traces of these compounds have been found, which clearly sets this species apart from other members of the same plant family.
