Psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms as medicine in the past<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The use of natural products as medicine has been an important part of human evolution. Even the most isolated tribes in every corner of the earth use plants and mushrooms as medicinal agents. Archaeology is also revealing that almost every society also used psychedelic\/hallucinogenic plants or mushrooms as medicine or as a means to gain closer religious faith. Due to the worldwide availability of magic mushrooms and their orally active nature, the psilocybin-containing mushroom is the most widely used and therefore the most tested psychedelic of antiquity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
