Psilocybin Treatment

What is Psilocybin?

Psilocybin is a natural occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms. A select few of these species are used for medicinal purposes under the supervised care of experienced clinicians.

How Does Psilocybin Work In The Body?

Psilocybin allows for increased neural pathways and connections between neuro-receptors in the brain that typically are not aligned. Connecting these pathways allows for communication between neuro-receptors.

Psilocybin converts to “Psilocin” when absorbed in the body which activates serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin is an essential “feel good chemical” and the key hormone that stabilizes our mood and creates a sense of wellbeing and happiness. Optimal levels of serotonin enables the brain cells to communicate more effectively with each other. Balancing serotonin levels helps to reduce depression, anxiety, and helps regulate sleep.

Psilocybin increases activity in the visual cortex of the brain. This region of the brain is responsible for processing visual stimuli and information. This process affects our perceptions in life and causes them to become more keen and acute. It decreases the part of the brain responsible for our inner sense of self; our ego.

Psilocybin has the ability to reset the Default Mode Network (DMN) in the brain. This reset in neurochemistry dramatically reduces anxiety, mood disorders, and depression and helps balance the neurochemistry of the brain which has many benefits
