FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS

• The effects of mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, typically start to be felt within 10-30 minutes of ingestion, with peak effects occurring around 60-90 minutes after ingestion. However, the onset and duration of effects can vary depending on several factors, such as the potency of the mushrooms, the method of ingestion, the individual's tolerance, and the individual's metabolism. 
• Eating mushrooms on an empty stomach can lead to a more intense and rapid onset of effects, as there is less food in the stomach to slow down the absorption of psilocybin. However, there is limited scientific research to support this claim. 
• In general, we recommend to eat mushrooms on an empty stomach or with a light meal, as a heavy meal can slow down the absorption of psilocybin and potentially delay the onset of effects. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol and other substances that could interact with the effects of mushrooms.  
• Mushrooms can upset your stomach for several reasons. One possible reason is that mushrooms contain chitin, a tough, fibrous substance that is difficult to digest. This can cause discomfort and bloating in some people, especially if they eat a large amount of mushrooms.

A microdose of mushrooms typically refers to consuming a very small amount of psilocybin, usually less than a typical recreational dose. The exact amount can vary, but it is typically in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 grams of mushrooms, every few days or once a week. Which is below the threshold for experiencing any noticeable hallucinogenic effects. 

Microdosing helps with feeling more focused, alert, and creative, as well as having a greater sense of well-being and a reduced tendency toward anxiety or depression. 

As a goddess who deeply values the balance and harmony of the body, mind, and spirit, I wanted to remind you of the importance of taking breaks from herbal medicine to allow your body to adjust and rebalance. 

We recommend taking regular breaks from herbal medicine to give your body a chance to reset and adapt. This can be as simple as taking a few days off every few weeks or alternating different herbs or formulas to avoid overloading your system. 

 During these breaks, focus on supporting your health through other means, such as nourishing foods, gentle exercise, and restful sleep. Allow yourself to fully rest and rejuvenate, as you trust in the natural wisdom and resilience of your body.

As a goddess who deeply values the health and wellbeing of our customers, I wanted to remind you of the importance of staying hydrated.

Water is essential for all of the body's functions, from regulating body temperature to lubricating joints and transporting nutrients. It's especially important when using herbal remedies, as it helps to support the body's natural detoxification processes and maximize the benefits of the herbs.  

In addition to drinking plenty of water, you can also stay hydrated by consuming other hydrating fluids like herbal tea, coconut water, and fresh juices. Eating water-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and soups can also help to support hydration. 

Remember that staying hydrated is an act of self-care and a powerful way to support your health and wellbeing. By taking care of your body's hydration needs, you are nourishing yourself at the deepest level and supporting your body's natural healing processes.
