By now you may have caught some wind of new research being shared on how “magic mushrooms” are more than just a fun time, they are actually really good for your brain… But how are they good for your brain and what are some of these real benefits of ingesting Psilocybin? What’s really goin’ on up inside that noggin when you start feeling things kick in?
Lets break down a few exciting and literal mind-chaging processes that are taking place inside our human brains with Psilocybin:
Enhances emotional processing, creativity, resilience
Rewires brain network architecture, boosting flexibility
Stimulates neuroplastic mechanisms:
-
Grows new neurons and synapses (connections between brain cells)
-
Strengthen or weaken existing pathways
-
Rewire circuits in response to new experiences, learning, trauma, or healing
In fact, Psilocybin, is so powerful, it shows immense promise in combating cluster headaches, anxiety, anorexia, obsessive-
“When someone’s on psilocybin, we see an overall increase in connectivity between areas of the brain that don’t normally communicate well,” said Matthew Johnson, a professor in psychedelics and consciousness at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
What do all of these processes mean for overall brain health? Researchers are discovering that psilocybin can promote faster emotional healing, greater cognitive flexibility, better mood regulation and the possible slowing of degenerative diseases like Parkinsons and Dementia.
Many of these studies administered different doses of psilocin, which is what is created when psilocybin gets broken down into in our digestive track. Psilocin is also the exact molecular form that we use in our gummies that allows for that quicker onset and release of the brain enhancing properties of magic mushrooms.
