A practical, approachable guide to using psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in mushrooms, for health and wellness, including information on varietals, microdosing, and the treatment of an array of mental and psychical ailments. Psilocybin is proving to have profound impact on health and wellness, particularly in the areas of mental health and addiction. From author and certified psychedelic therapist Stacey Simmons, MA, PhD, LMFT, Mushroom Pharmacy is the first comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to using mushrooms safely and effectively to alleviate symptoms, and potentially cure the underlying causes, of dozens of ailments from depression, anxiety, and addiction to OCD, PTSD, Lyme Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Migraines and more. In this deeply researched, practically oriented guide, Dr. Simmons helps readers understand how psilocybin acts on the brain, the key elements of responsible psychedelic therapy, and how the effects of this practice can lead to deep and permanent healing. The book also educates readers in the practical aspects of how to responsibly forage for or grow their own mushrooms, how to identify and use different more than 30 different psychedelic mushroom varieties, and how to understand the dosing and administration of psychedelics. Written by an expert in the field, this groundbreaking work is a must-have for anyone interested in the brave new world of psychedelic medical treatment.
