Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has taken the world by
storm, and this is the original informational site, with
up-to-date research on anything related to this versatile
plant, including the best sources we've personally discovered.
We seek shops who offer Kratom incenses made
from only the highest quality leaf, such as Rifat
(Red Vein), Maeng Da, or Thai leaf. Kratom incense is an integral part of my world,
and the places I recommend here are
places that I personally buy kratom from.
So, if you wish to buy Kratom, one absolute favorite all-time source is
Shaman's Garden
and the other is the
IAmShaman Shop. Both places have been around
longer than just about any other vendor on the web;
they've earned the reputation as the most reliable,
lowest priced, and in possession of the highest quality
Kratom incenses anywhere.
Both websites above offer the exact same Kratom incense products (or
better) for far less than what is offered at places like
www.sagewisdom.org. Both shops
often have
Kratom Seeds as well, which we discuss in detail in our
growing kratom
article.
Speaking of; want to grow your own
Kratom plants? - We're extremely
proud of our article entitled
Kratom Plant Secrets, which discusses the most effective way to keep
your new (and expensive) seedlings that you buy online
alive and well. We've had nothing but great
customer service from both shops and we have no complaints
whatsoever.
Both the RIFAT and the
BUMBLEBEE strains are now reportedly shipping to USA
addresses from both of the above websites.
More on Kratom
Look the the left and you will see images of the gorgeous
flowers of this plant; they look like some kind of
"space spikes" and can grow to be as big as a fist.
(We have a beautiful close-up of a
kratom plant as a reference if you're interested. The Mitragyna genus, part of the family
Rubiaceae, is found in
tropical and sub-tropical regions of Asia and Africa.
Asian Mitragynas are often found in rainforests, while the
African species (which are sometimes still classed in a
separate genus, Hallea) are often found in swamps. Most
species reach heights of almost
100 feet.
Thailand is a Southeast Asian,
predominantly Buddhist kingdom almost smack dab in-between
India and China. For centuries it was known by outsiders as Siam,
and Thailand has been something of a Southeast Asian
crossroads. It is here where we find accounts of the
earliest stories of Kratom.
Thailand has an area of 517,000 sq km, making it slightly
smaller than the state of Texas in the USA, or about the
size of France. Its shape on the map has been compared to
the head of an elephant, with its trunk extending down the
Malay peninsula. The center of Thailand stands Bangkok,
and Thailand has perhaps the most diverse climate in South
East Asia.
There are high mountains in the in the North where little
grows
(the southernmost extreme of a series of ranges that extend
across northern Myanmar and south-west China to the
south-eastern edges of the Tibet Plateau) to
limestone-encrusted tropical islands in the South that are
part of the Malay Archipelago.
These broad geographic characteristics divide the country
into four main zones: the fertile centre region, dominated
by the Chao Phraya River; the north-east plateau, the
kingdom's poorest region, rising some 300m above the
central plain; Northern Thailand, a region of mountains
and fertile valleys; and the Southern peninsula, which
extends to the Malaysian border frontier and is
predominantly rainforest. This lush rainforest is the home
of most of the Mitragyna trees.
So, throughout the website, we've offer an ever-increasing
amount of useful information about all kinds of kratom
incense. Please feel free to peruse our site, where you will even
find articles about our own personal experiences with a
a number of online venders, including our own pitfalls and
recommendations that we have found throughout our
history as the premier informational site regarding this
plant.
