Though mushroom tea may be relatively novel to Western culture, its ancient usage can be found throughout Eastern cultures. According to research studies conducted on Eastern populations, mushroom tea may help strengthen immunity, improve cognitive performance and subtly energize people – particularly cordyceps and lion’s mane mushrooms that are commonly brewed into tea for this effect.

Most people can tolerate moderate amounts of mushroom tea without becoming nauseous, but excessive consumption could have adverse side effects. Nausea can be an indicator of an underlying medical issue; for this reason it’s crucial that you seek medical help at either your physician’s office, walk-in clinic or emergency room immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, notice blood in your vomit, or have been vomiting continuously over 24 hours.

Nausea can arise for various reasons, ranging from pregnancy to bacterial infection. When feeling queasy, it is essential to keep food and water close by, in order to avoid going too long without eating or drinking anything at all. When possible, foods that are gentle on the stomach like boiled eggs, toast, low-fiber cereals milkshakes smoothies custard pudding potatoes pureed into soup or even soft cooked foods such as custard pudding potatoes pureed into soup can all help restore equilibrium quickly and safely.

Nasal congestion, nosebleeds or throat congestion is often the source of nausea. Nausea can vary from mild to intense; symptoms often worsen with lying down. Nausea can also occur from taking certain medications or supplements on an empty stomach such as painkillers or multivitamins that cause stomach upset.

While mushroom tea can help ease nausea, ginger adds even more anti-inflammatory compounds that will further help your body and mind relax. You could also try mixing in some gingerol or shogaol which interact with serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors in the brain for additional antiemetic benefits.

But it’s important to keep in mind that eating mushrooms in unconventional ways may lead to psychoactive effects. If using an extract such as powder without medical advice from your physician, such as following manufacturer instructions carefully can help you prevent hallucinogen-induced persisting perception disorder (HPPD) trips. Alcohol and other mind-altering substances should also be avoided while taking this medicine; otherwise their hallucinogenic properties will amplify.
