Microdosing Magic Mushrooms For Anxiety & Depression

&nbsp Microdosing magic mushrooms have been known to have multiple beneficial effects on adults, including reducing the effects of Depression and Anxiety. With such alarming numbers of Canadian’s suffering from both, patients and scientists both have looked towards microdosing magic mushrooms as a possible treatment for depression and anxiety.Psychedelic researchers had been conducting extensive investigations on the medical benefits of hallucinogens in the 1950s and 60s; however, these researchers were limited in the 70s when political and cultural pressures forced them to cease their studies. Since the 90s, many researchers began once again looking into the medical benefits of hallucinogens, including psilocybin. One such study done in 2010 set out to explore the safety and efficacy of microdosing psilocybin in patients with advanced-stage cancer and reactive anxiety. The study concluded that there were no adverse effects of psilocybin. Furthermore, patients demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety at 1 and 3 months after microdosing and a drastic improvement of mood within 6 months.

Microdosing Magic Mushrooms For Anxiety & Depression

 

Microdosing Magic Mushrooms helps those with depression and anxiety by targeting the serotonergic 5-HT2A receptors, which in turn promotes the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and increases the transmission of Glutamate. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that is vital to the maintenance, survival, and growth of neurons in key brain circuits which are involved in emotional and cognitive function. Those with anxiety or major depressive disorder are known to have reductions in BDNF, which is why microdosing psilocybin has been used to treat those with depression as it increases the production of BDNF.

Microdosing psilocybin causes parts of the brain that would normally not communicate together to communicate with one another. These brain connections are made by decreasing the activity in our Default Mode Network (DMN), which is often a very overused part of our brain. The DMN in our brains is responsible for numerous mental activities such as thinking about the past/future and self-reflection. With an over-stimulated DMN, these mental thoughts often lead to thoughts of depression and anxiety. Since microdosing has been proven to slow down the activity of our DMN, it leads to humans naturally thinking in new ways which would otherwise be inaccessible to us. These new thought patterns help remove and forget about depressive and anxious thoughts altogether and allow people to be present in the current moment.

Scientists and medical researchers have been conducting tests and experiments for years to pinpoint all of the medical benefits of microdosing psilocybin. Studies are still coming out at a high rate which outline new potential medical benefits of microdosing psilocybin. Although microdosing to treat depression and anxiety has caught mainstream appeal as of late, it may not work for everyone as all humans are individually wired and microdosing may have adverse effects for those with other pre-existing medical issues. We recommend speaking to your doctor or other health care professional prior to trying any of our microdosing supplements.
