SUPER FOODS TO IMPROVE WELL BEING

Superfoods contain a variety of nutrients, such as antioxidants, which have been lauded for all kinds of health benefits. Additionally, they may contain healthy fats, which are thought to help with heart disease, and fiber, thought to assist with diabetes and digestive problems. They may also contain phytochemicals, the chemicals in plants responsible for deep colors and smells, which can have numerous health benefits. When you consume superfoods packed with nutrients, you help your body ward off disease, support its internal health, and most of all, improve your wellbeing.

KRATOM IS A SUPER FOOD

Kratom is a superfood that supercharges well-being and wellness. At ETHA Natural Botanicals we sustainably harvest kratom, an alkaloid rich plant. For centuries kratom has been used to help with pain and energy by those doing strenuous labor.  Traditionally, kratom was an anesthetic that helped with coughs, and with intestinal issues like diarrhea. Another popular way to enjoy kratom would be to brew some leaves in hot water to make a kratom tea. Today, you can enjoy kratom in our convenient kratom herbal tea bags.

In summary, kratom is not a drug and not a synthetic. Rather, kratom is a superfood that goes beyond nutrition to promote and improve overall well-being.

Whereas a lot of companies provide kratom in vein colors or by region, ETHA does things differently. The reason most vendors call kratom certain names is purely marketing. Here at ETHA, we use the specific alkaloid combination to create our proprietary kratom blends targeted to support specific human issues/ailments. We harvest from several different forests and grow our own kratom in our greenhouse. We lab measure alkaloids and use the data to determine which harvest goes into which blend. That way each of our kratom products is always consistent.

What is Kratom? Where Does Kratom Come From?

Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family (⁠Rubiaceae⁠) native to Southeast Asia.

Traditionally, kratom was used throughout Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Kratom was used for⁠ pain ⁠and ⁠energy⁠ support by laborers. Kratom was used as a local anesthetic to help with coughs and with intestinal issues like diarrhea.  Workers would chew on kratom leaves and/or brew kratom leaves in hot water to make a ⁠brewed kratom drink⁠. This would be particularly popular in the ⁠morning⁠ before work and in the ⁠evening⁠ during a meal with friends and family.

Today, millions of people throughout the world use and rely on kratom for its many potential benefits. ⁠Benefits include⁠: Energy, Anxiety, Sleep and Rest.
