Can a Controversial Tree Help End the Opioid Crisis?
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Integrative Medicine Research Lecture SeriesKratom (botanical nameMitragyna speciosa Korth) is a tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) indigenous to Southeast Asia. Its leaves are the source of a Thai traditional drug, kratom, that possesses unique pharmacologic actions — e.g., stimulant actions like those of the coca plant plus depressant ones like those of opium. Traditionally, in its countries of origin, kratom extract has been used as an opium substitute; in Thailand, it has been used as a treatment for addiction.Recently, human case reports have increa...
