What are the Uses of Medicinal Mushrooms?

Research on psilocybin as a form of substance therapy has been on since the 60s. Since then, studies have shown how magic mushrooms can alleviate cluster headaches, supplemental therapy to treat several kinds of addictions such as smoking, cocaine, and heroin. Psilocybin is involved in therapy for mood disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety. A pilot study also tested psilocybin as a relief for end-of-life depression and anxiety for those with terminal cancer.

Dried magic mushrooms usually wear off the short-term effects in 6 to 12 hours. However, higher doses of psilocybin can lead to significant hallucinogenic reactions over a longer period of time.
