“How much alkaloids (the active ingredients in kratom) do you get when making a kratom tea?”
To determine the difference between kratom vs. a kratom tea, we created an experiment to determine the total alkaloid content of kratom powder vs. hot-water extraction (tea) vs. lemon juice pre-soak with hot-water extraction (kratom + lemon + tea).
Kratom herbal tea (Mitragyna speciosa) is a group of tree-like plants that belong to the coffee plant family (Rubiaceae). It has a long history in Southeast Asia, where locals make Kratom tea by brewing leaves of the kratom plant. They use it for various purposes, including support for pain, natural energy and even rest and relaxation†.
In recent years, kratom herbal tea continues to gain more and more popularity in the natural health community for its potential to naturally support occasional pain and to naturally elevate mood†. As such, we wanted to share a few of our favorite recipes/ways to help you enjoy our favorite superfood.
For those of us who prefer powder to other forms of kratom, the benefits of Nano Powder are like Christmas morning, a four-day weekend, and a 10 course gourmet meal all in one. It is an incredible experience. Like ETHA itself, Nano Powder is the superior, top-quality, “crème de la crème” in its category. Although of course, we here at ETHA cannot stress enough how amazing our unique kratom pressed tablets are. Nevertheless, we fully acknowledge and respect that for a traditionalist it is powder or nothing at all.
