In recent times, a trend has become increasingly vital that aims to use "recreational drugs" in a completely different way, as powerful allies for well-being. A particularly virtuous and consolidated example is full CBD cannabis which in recent years has conquered thousands of people around the world, helping them to sleep better and to relieve chronic pain.
A new trend has also emerged in the field of magic mushrooms, which if taken in “microdoses”much smaller than those needed to get high can turn into real health supplements, improving mood and creativity and even raising energy levels.
The best mushrooms to get incredible results through microdosing, which can also be declined in the intake of synthetic supplements, are the over 600 species of the species Cordyceps, in addition to the famous Lion's Mane, a fascinating oriental mushroom that we talked about in a past article. More and more researchers are conducting studies on the benefits of regular intake, which is thought to be linked to better neuronal health and improved energy levels. In the meantime, important studies are being conducted on the effectiveness of psilocybin (the main active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to reduce the symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The only real limit to these experiments seems to be a discussion that has little to do with science, that of legality.
Luckily they are springing up around Europe. Resellers that provide mushroom supplements (renamed “functional mushrooms”) without going through the illegal market. According to some consumers who have tried microdosing regularly, it is possible be more clear and focused without the harmful side effects of coffee (anxiety, reflux and palpitations).
Microdosing is truly a field of research and experimentation promising. It is necessary that each one finds his own minimum dose needed to “get into the flow” and that's when everything can change. The main gift of psilocybin, from which all the others descend, is the ability to shift the point of viewIt is sufficient to introduce only one small change in your routine mental to finally have the “brilliant” idea you’ve been waiting for, to realize what’s wrong in your life and change it, or simply to accept the flow of events and be with it in a more “zen” way.
For those who have never done microdosing it is highly recommended get help from an expert or follow the instructions to the letter, in the case of synthetic doses. The basic idea is to always stay far below the psychoactive dose: while this is generally 5 milligrams, for the average person the right dose for microdosing is around 0.2 milligrams contained in approximately 0.2 grams of dried product.
It is very important that the intake is not done on a daily basis but rather at intervals: one dose every 72 hours, for example. It is possible to take mushrooms for 8-10 weeks and then take a break of variable length before starting them again: as you can see, it really doesn't take much to get results and at the same time keep the dangers of addiction and dependence at bay.
