Hair loss is a common problem faced by a large population of people in the world. It is now considered a medical condition. Hair loss can result from several underlying medical conditions and diseases. In normal health conditions, hair falls continuously after completing their age and new hair grow in their place. However, in hair loss conditions, the new hair doesn’t grow in the place of old hair. There are many possible reasons behind hair loss, for example, hereditary hair loss which can develop in both men and women. It is the most common cause of hair loss throughout the world.

According to the research studies, Kratom is a strong antidepressant, anti-anxiolytic, and mood-lifting substance. All these properties are very helpful in improving the growth of hair after hair loss. Kratom provides all these benefits by interacting with the opioid receptors in the brain through its active alkaloids. As we have mentioned here, Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine are two major active alkaloids of Kratom. These alkaloids interact with those opioid receptors in the brain which are responsible for mood-lifting.
