Psilocybin-Based Breakthroughs in Natural Medicine

Abstract

Nature created a mushroom-based compound known as psilocybin that can biochemically alter perception
and affect mental anguish. Medical research shows that psilocybin activates the brain, engendering new
cognition and awareness. Although psilocybin usage dates to ancient times, its contemporary medical
usefulness is still in its infancy. This review discusses a potential breakthrough in natural medicine;
psilocybin-based therapy may be a life-changing experience bringing hope to many suffering from
mental anguish based on emotional and physical pain.
