In Indonesia, especially in Borneo, it grows a special plant named Kratom. The leaves of this plant, for hundreds of years were consumed by the Dayak people.
Thesekratom leaves have a number of special properties.
Nowadayskratom is cultivated, and even exported, and becomes a beverage ingredient like tea.
