How to Do Mushroom Tea
Mushrooms are an incredible source of nutrition that can enhance immunity, lower stress levels and foster focus. A popular way to ingest mushrooms is via tea, as this allows one to access all their benefits more fully – this is particularly true of teas containing reishi, chaga or lion’s mane mushrooms which have long been used by ancient traditions like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for overall wellbeing purposes.
Making mushroom tea is easy: all it requires is steeping dried or fresh herbs with hot water in either your kitchen or office, or you can find ready-made mushroom tea at many specialty stores and natural health food markets. When creating your own tea from scratch, fresh, organic ingredients and non-GMO components should always be used if possible; also important is brewing at an ideal temperature as overheating may degrade some beneficial compounds.
Mushroom tea offers several advantages when it comes to consumption. The brewing process breaks down cell walls of mushrooms, making it easier for your body to absorb their nutrients. Reishi, chaga and lion’s mane varieties have been shown to boost energy levels, reduce stress levels and support immune health; some studies even indicate they may help slow the effects of aging as well as reduce cancer and cardiovascular risks.
Psilocybin mushroom tea, prepared by steeping dried psilocybin mushrooms in hot water, has recently become increasingly popular as a means to experience their psychedelic effects. Such effects include altered states of consciousness, sensations of euphoria and feelings of well-being; usually taking 40 minutes before effects begin kicking in and lasting up to 6 hours or longer.
Mushroom teas can be customized with herbs and spices for different flavors and effects. Ginger mushroom tea, for instance, can aid with nausea and digestion as well as reduce inflammation and promote healthy blood sugar levels. Reishi mushroom tea blended with sage is another popular blend that may help calm nervous systems while encouraging restful sleep.
