African Mitragyna Strains

[DieFlotteHilde]

Was doing some research and came upon this:

Ethnobotanical use of Mitragyna species other than Mitragyna speciosa Kratom, as medicine or for psychoactive effects, has been reported both in Asia and Africa but no detailed studies have been published yet.
West African species as Mitragyna inermis and M. stipulosa are known as traditional remedies against malaria, the former having also been shown by modern science to also help fight leukaemia. Another species, Mitragyna africanus, is traditionally used in Nigeria to treat mental illness, while M. ciliata (also known as M. ledermanni, M. stipulosa, Hallea ciliata, Hallea ledermanni or Hallea stipulosa) is traditionally used to treat inflammation, hypertension, headache, rheumatism, gonorrhoea and broncho-pulmonary diseases.

I was wondering if anybody has more info on those strains. The fact that they are being used to treat mental illness and headache indicates pain relieving and psychoactive properties.

Interesting link - Kratom dot NET - A Forum started ten years ago... that never got off the ground?

Looks like someone's hobby project and he didn't allow vendor talk so... nobody bothered to join.

Well if it was a hobby project he found some valuable information. I didn't even know of the presence of the varieties listed above!

M. Javanica and Hirsuta are all over the net; it surprises me that the others have gone unnoticed...
