Mitragyna hirsuta is a tall tree found in parts of Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. It’s closely related to Mitragyna speciosa and the leaves have similar paradoxical effects: both stimulating and sedative at the same time.

Effects

The effects are simultaneously stimulating and sedating, noticeable quite quickly and lasting up to several hours.

Usage

The average dosage of Mitragyna hirsute is 20 grams. Make a tea with 20 g for one cup and let it steep for 30 minutes. Slowly drink it over the course of the next 30 minutes.

Beginners are advised to use 15 gram. If you’re familiar with this herb, use 25 gram per tea cup.
