Step into the forest around a rural Malaysian village, pluck the  red ,  green  or  white-veined  leaves off a kratom tree, and start chewing. At a small dose, the leaves will act as a stimulant helpful for getting through long hours of hard labor. At a much higher dose, they may cause nausea, vomiting and indigestion, followed by euphoria.

  A survey done in 2019 tallied that 15,600,244 people use kratom in the US, with 1,950 metric tons imported to the country every month. So, what makes kratom special? Well, it’s being employed as a stimulant, mood enhancer, and pain-relieving agent. It comes from the Mitrogyna speciosa tree. The leaves are harvested after maturation and then processed into  powders ,  capsules ,  extracts , or the raw leaves boiled to  make tea . Long ago, traders wanted to preserve the leaves for export because they rot fast. They found that grinding them to a fine powder was the only way to preserve the chemical content.

However, for this same reason, it could be very unsafe, and some studies hint at its possible side effects. Due to its lack of regulation, a few US states have banned kratom ( Kratom Legality Map and information . States, Cities and Counties where Kratom products are prohibited). One of the major controversies surrounding this substance is kratom-induced liver injury. Drug-induced liver injury is a commonly researched topic, and studies have linked excessive kratom use with acute liver injury.
