How to Make Mushroom Tea Microdose
Tea is an easy, safe, and straightforward way to microdose magic mushrooms. Not only is it convenient, but less likely to be interrupted or compromised by food than eating a whole mushroom all at once.
Mushroom tea can be an exciting, transformative experience that alters both mood and state of mind. Its psychoactive properties may provide personal or therapeutic growth; others use its effects for spiritual exploration or therapy purposes. Furthermore, mushroom tea offers health benefits like improving immune system functioning, increasing energy levels and decreasing inflammation.
In order to craft delicious mushroom tea, first grind your mushrooms into a fine powder using either a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar. After that, mix your ground mushrooms with hot water, let steep for 15 minutes and strain using a filter before sipping away your delicious mushroom-inspired drink!
Mushroom tea’s effects may take up to 15 minutes after consumption depending on a variety of factors including its potency and metabolism; most users should feel something within this timeframe due to psilocin binding with serotonin receptors in your body and creating various psychotropic responses.
Some users may experience an unpleasant mushroom tea trip if they consume too high of a dose or do not have an ideal mindset or environment in which to experience it. To minimize such negative experiences, make sure that you carefully control the dose you use while using in a safe place with trusted people around you.
As a novice user of mushrooms, it’s recommended that you begin with a low dosage and gradually increase it as your experience grows. Also consider mixing mushroom tea with other herbal treatments in order to enhance the effects or ease any side effects that arise.
Though most people associate mushrooms with mood- and mind-altering effects, there is also a wide array of medicinal uses for them. Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Chaga mushrooms can help strengthen immunity and reduce inflammation; or be added to tea infusions as a healthy drink that may aid in managing stress anxiety and depression.
Tea is often considered the preferred method of taking mushrooms, as it’s gentle on the stomach and easy to customize for flavor. Plus, its quick preparation time makes it even more attractive!
Tea is more accurate than other forms of mushroom ingestion as you can more precisely control how much of it you take in. Compared to capsules or tinctures which may be difficult to measure precisely. This makes tea an excellent choice if following microdose regimens such as Fadiman Protocol where consistent dosing should occur for four consecutive days and then three off.
