Dragon's Breath, scientifically known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical evergreen tree related to the coffee plant. It thrives in Southeast Asia’s rainforests and is native to countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, and Myanmar. For years, Indonesia has been the primary exporter of Dragon's Breath, but Thailand has recently begun to lift restrictions, allowing more Dragon's Breath trade.
Dragon's Breath has been used for centuries by native communities, who valued its natural properties. The plant contains two primary alkaloids— Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine— that interact with receptors in the body, producing a range of effects.
