Try something different this morning by switching up your breakfast routine with mushroom tea – an immune-boosting beverage with earthy and subtle flavor, but no caffeine content that’s sure to perk you up on a chilly morning!

Mushrooms have long been revered as functional foods, offering many of the same advantages found in other fruits and vegetables such as antioxidants. Mushrooms also serve as immunomodulators to balance hormone levels and control blood sugar, while their anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate symptoms associated with chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

But for many who are unfamiliar with eating mushrooms, drinking mushroom tea is often the preferred method of consumption. A mushroom-rich tea blend may offer more balance while being easier on your digestive system than taking raw, whole mushrooms directly. This may especially benefit those just getting started eating mushrooms!

Outside their health benefits, mushroom teas are widely known for inducing psychedelic experiences that range from pleasant to challenging depending on individual factors like environment and preparation. Setting and time play an integral part in any psychedelic experience; choosing an optimal place and time for mushroom tea consumption can reduce risks of unpleasant or difficult experiences.

Tea made from mushrooms is traditionally prepared by steeping dried mushrooms or powder in hot water, most commonly the Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Chaga mushrooms (Ganoderma taenifera). Reishi and Chaga mushrooms are considered adaptogens due to their balancing effect on the body, helping with stress relief, anxiety reduction, digestion improvement and improved restful sleep.

Numerous types of tea can be created from medicinal mushrooms and are an excellent addition to any wellness regime. Because medicinal mushrooms provide powerful immunity-boosting support, it’s wise to include them regularly into one’s daily life via tea as it makes this convenient method possible.

Though mushrooms do pose some risks, indulging in mushroom tea may greatly mitigate them. As opposed to eating mushrooms directly, drinking the tea reduces nausea while providing more precise dosing information. It is recommended to consume small amounts daily in order to help combat seasonal allergies and boost your immune system.

One of the benefits of this emerging wellness trend is how easy it is to find mushroom tea blends at local health food stores and coffee shops. Different mushroom tea blends have different effects and can target specific needs in the body – for instance reishi and ashwagandha blends can promote relaxation while Cordyceps increases energy and focus levels. Before trying any new supplements it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider first as they will know what dosage to take as well as any interactions it might cause with any medications you are currently taking.
