When it comes to psychedelic mushrooms, a little too much of a good thing might be harmful. Those who have tasted magical fungi in their entirety know that they taste like the ground (or tree) from which they came and can cause mild to severe nausea. Fortunately, these less-than-pleasant effects are not a necessary part of growing up. People can get the benefits of this expansive psychedelic while avoiding stomach churns, feeling the effects faster, and reaping many benefits from the added plant ingredients. Mushroom tea is the method.
The majority of individuals take psychedelic mushrooms in their whole form, and not everyone dislikes the taste and smell. In fact, some people like ingesting magic mushrooms because they don’t mind the taste and enjoy the long-lasting advantages that slow digestion provides. Many others, though, prefer a different path to a similar hallucinogenic destination.
Because it tastes better, acts faster, subsides faster, decreases nausea, and adds therapeutic components to the mix, magic mushroom tea is becoming increasingly popular. Psilocybin mushrooms are brewed in herbal or caffeinated teas such as hibiscus, licorice, chai, and green tea. Some even add taste enhancers like honey, milk, or lemon to the mix.
Because grinding mushrooms and steeping them in hot water produces extracts with up to 400 active components, those who brew mushroom tea enjoy a variety of additional benefits as a result. Simultaneously, the mushrooms are ground into a fine powder, allowing the infusion to act faster and feel more strong. Why? Fine powder enhances the surface area of the mushroom, allowing the gastrointestinal system to absorb more of the substance faster. Whole dry mushrooms, on the other hand, have a smaller surface area, requiring the stomach to spend more time breaking them down and losing some psilocin in the process.
People prepare mushroom tea with almost any psychedelic mushroom and optional add-ons like lemon peels, orange juice, vanilla, or coconut milk in herbal or caffeinated tea. Psilocybe cubensis is the most common psychedelic strain. Psilocybin mushrooms aren’t the only form of fungus that can be used in homebrewing.
In reality, medicinal mushrooms including shiitake, maitake, Lion’s Mane, cordyceps, and chaga are used in ancient Chinese, Japanese, Greek, and Russian remedies to treat everything from infections to cancer. Now, fast forward to today, when Western societies have embraced adaptogenic mushrooms in their quest for optimal health. Bags of powdered mushroom extract combined with various teas ranging from ginseng to chai can be found at Whole Foods.
The advantages of mushroom tea vary depending on the ingredients used and the goal of the person making it. Medicinal adaptogenic mushrooms, which have been used in traditional Eastern medicine to treat sickness for ages, are said to help the body adapt to stress and regain balance. Western science, on the other hand, is a little more cautious regarding mushrooms’ therapeutic potential.
Although human clinical evidence does not support particular disease-fighting claims, most researchers believe that medicinal mushrooms are powerful antioxidants that efficiently combat inflammation, which is at the base of most diseases. Adaptogenic mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane, maitake, and cordyceps also aid to relax the nervous system, improve homeostasis, and reduce stress.
The advantages of magic mushroom tea are a little more ethereal. The psychedelic experience may zap some people into the present now, allowing them to interpret memories and relationships in completely new ways. Others may have a more hallucinatory experience, which helps them clear their minds once the voyage is over. The physiological potency of a magic mushroom stems from its potential to alter one’s mental and emotional state by forming new brain connections. Magic mushrooms may provide further synergistic effects when brewed in hot water with medicinal herbs like relaxing lavender or invigorating green tea.
Shroom Garden offers ready-to-drink blended psilocybin tea. You just need to soak it in hot water and be ready to enjoy your magic mushroom tea.
