Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree that is native to Southeast Asia. The leaves of the kratom tree have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including pain, diarrhea, and anxiety. In recent years, kratom has become increasingly popular in the United States as a natural alternative to opioids for pain relief.
The pronunciation of kratom is often debated, but the most common pronunciation is “kra-tom.” The word is derived from the Thai word “kratom,” which means “leaf of the kratom tree.” Kratom is also sometimes pronounced “kray-tom” or “krot-om.”
