Psilocybin mushrooms have long been used as sacred medicines, facilitating spiritual experiences, introspection, and connection to nature and divinity. Today’s science is only just beginning to understand all their health benefits – in addition to psychoactive effects, mushrooms are rich sources of antioxidants and essential nutrients essential for maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing.

As part of their traditional methods for maintaining and exploiting all their medicinal benefits, mushrooms have long been dried. This process helps concentrate psychoactive compounds and may intensify their effect. Drying also mitigates against their strong taste that raw mushrooms often possess, making them more palatable and easier to consume; one popular preparation method includes making mushrooms into tea.

One of the most commonly employed preparation techniques for magic mushrooms is known as lemon tek (or simply “lemon syringe”, though its exact origins remain unclear). This quick and simple way of mushroom preparation involves grinding dried mushrooms into powder before soaking it in freshly squeezed lemon juice for 15 minutes; numerous anecdotal reports have confirmed this technique as helping prevent nausea as well as speeding up the onset of mushroom experiences.
