In a significant shift, Thailand has recently legalized the Kratom plant (Mitragyna speciosa), opening doors to extensive research and application of this traditional remedy. According to a recent study conducted by Chulalongkorn University, as reported by Nation Thailand, kratom exhibits promising pain relief, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification benefits. This move is part of Thailand’s broader initiative to integrate natural and locally sourced solutions into healthcare. Researchers are now focusing on validating centuries-old local wisdom that harnessed kratom’s therapeutic properties, which could lead to more natural treatment options available to the public.
