Mushroom tea contains medicinal and nutritional compounds that not only taste delicious, but can also aid your health in many ways. Many of these benefits have been shown to strengthen immunity, reduce inflammation, regulate stress levels, support cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, facilitate digestion and help the body detoxify itself.

Magic mushrooms contain the active compound known as psilocybin, which is responsible for altering states of consciousness and producing psychedelic experiences. Psilocybin can also help stimulate your mind and elevate mood while acting directly on your brain to change how your senses perceive the world around you.

Psilocybin is one of the most potent natural hallucinogens on the market, both naturally and synthetically produced in labs. Psilocybin can be extracted from mushrooms or chemically created synthetically; either way it’s popularly used recreationally to have fun, relax or attain spiritual purposes – though its risks should always be known prior to using.

One recent case in the news involving an individual who prepared his own “magic mushroom tea” and then injected it directly into his bloodstream to experience its effects demonstrates just how risky such consumption can be. Unfortunately, this act led to serious complications including blood fungal infection and multi-system organ failure due to fluid build-up in his lungs – yet miraculously survived and is currently taking antibiotics and antifungal medicine for his recovery.

Mushroom tea can be prepared by steeping dried psilocybin mushrooms in hot water for several minutes until their contents have disintegrated and been exposed to an enzyme known as chitinase, releasing their contents into the liquid. Chewing long before swallowing will allow maximum exposure of these components to chitinase enzyme and allow for its breakdown process to commence.

While your tea brews, add spices such as cinnamon (ground or whole quills), star anise, cardamom, and pepper to enhance its flavor and prevent nausea. These herbs have proven their worth as helpful additions.

If you prefer premade mushroom herbal teas over making your own, there are numerous readymade versions available at stores or online. While some contain just small doses of psilocybin, others may contain higher quantities. You’ll find both organic and non-organic options of these teas available to select. Alternatively, mushroom extract capsules offer another convenient method to consume these herbs, since you don’t have to wait a set period of time between doses; additionally they come with or without added ingredients like ginger renowned for relieving nausea-reducing properties!
