Amanita muscaria: use, microdosing, medicinal properties, price

The red fly agaric is familiar to most of us, if not from real meetings in the forest, then from cartoons and books from childhood - for sure. This is a very unusual mushroom. In Asia and many European countries, it has been actively used as a remedy since ancient times. But, it is important to understand that the mushroom is poisonous and has medicinal properties only in microdoses, and not in its raw form, but only after processing. Either in dried form, or in the form of various tinctures. Drying and making tinctures on your own is not worth it - entrust this difficult task to professionals. This requires experience and reliable equipment.

The chemical composition of the Red fly agaric has not yet been fully studied. While science can confidently state that the fungus contains chitin, various essential oils, xanthine, betanine, puterescine, as well as alkaloids: ibotenic acid, muscarine, muscaridine, muscimol. Amanita includes a number of psychoactive substances, and all of them are formed only in the cap of the mushroom, namely, in a thin film that has a characteristic red color (even in dried mushrooms). There is also muscarine, which in large quantities (more than 3 grams) causes poisoning, but its concentration in the dried mushroom decreases significantly. But useful substances remain and can really improve mood, increase concentration and get rid of a number of diseases, you can read more about this in our information section.
