How to Make Psilocybin Mushroom Tea
Mushroom teas can become medicinal and health-supportive beverages when prepared with the appropriate ingredients, elevating this trend from hipster buzzword to medicinal beverage that supports brain function, immunity, immunity reduction, inflammation reduction, detoxification support and increased energy production. Psilocybin mushrooms have long been revered for their ability to enhance creativity and focus, as well as providing profound emotional healing – something used as therapy since 1960s! While psychiatrists may criticize magic mushrooms due to potentially hazardous side effects; other neuroscientists have conducted promising research proving their usefulness for treating mental illness.
Psilocybin has long been prescribed as a drug to assist individuals suffering from anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But many users prefer taking it recreationally or spiritually for spiritual reasons instead. While any form of mushroom consumption is dangerous if exceeded beyond recommended dosage levels, mushroom tea offers an easy and safe way to experience psilocybin without swallowing its entirety.
There are various methods of creating psilocybin mushroom tea, each providing its own distinct experience. Many users select their desired method depending on personal taste and desired effect intensity.
Most techniques involve boiling water and infusing psilocybin mushrooms or powder into it for infusion. This allows the psilocybin to break down and dissolve into the liquid over 15-30 minutes, usually using a cup.
Alternately, mushrooms can also be ground and mixed into smoothies or beverages to achieve similar effects – known as microdosing – which may help improve mood and creativity over time. Psilocybin may be disguised by flavorful ingredients in these beverages.
Some enthusiasts enjoy mixing mushroom tea with other herbal supplements for additional benefits. Reishi mushrooms, in particular, are known to help improve sleep quality and decrease stress levels; Chaga mushrooms may reduce inflammation while strengthening the immune system; while Lion’s mane mushrooms possess neuroprotective properties which may enhance cognitive performance.
Lemon Tek is another widely practiced way of preparing psilocybin mushrooms, and involves soaking either mushrooms or mushroom powder in lemon juice before taking. The acidic environment helps digest psilocybin more quickly, speeding up its effects. Some people soak their mushrooms or mushroom powder in fruit juice to increase concentration levels of this compound.
Some people also make mushroom tea using cordyceps or lion’s mane to give themselves an extra energy boost, making this suitable for office environments that demand long periods of productivity. It should be noted, however, that taking too much psilocybin may cause unpleasant side effects; additionally psychedelics in general may aggravate mental health disorders or trigger them in those predisposed to them.
