How does fly agaric affect the body?

General information about fly agaric

Due to little study and stereotypes, the red amanita mushroom is still perceived as a poisonous mushroom that should be avoided by the tenth road. However, research over the past 20 years disproves myths about its toxicity when used properly. Moreover, they confirm useful properties that can be used to improve health, prevent various diseases, treat addictions and some mental conditions. It should be noted that according to the report of "The North American Mycological Association" (The North American Mycological Association), not a single fact of poisoning by the red fly agaric was recorded during the hundred-year period from 1909 to 2009.

What substances are contained in amanita

Red amanita is a mushroom, the use of which for preventive and therapeutic purposes ensures an effect on the mental activity of a person. This feature is related to the chemical composition. The biological formula of red fly agaric contains special components that are toxic to the body at high concentrations. These substances include not only ibotenic acid, but also muscimol and muscarine. Ibotenic acid, concentrated in the fruiting body of the red fly agaric, is characterized by insecticidal properties. Muscimol is a product of ibotenic acid metabolism, so a high content of this component in the body causes human poisoning. But initially, excessive concentration of muscimol in the blood leads to a disturbance of the mental state, which is manifested by the appearance of hallucinations. Muscarine is an alkaloid that has a toxic effect on the parasympathetic nervous system. Signs of its damage are increased production of secretion by sweat glands, muscle weakness, uncontrolled lacrimation and associated symptoms.

In addition to the listed compounds, the fruiting body of the red fly agaric contains many other nutritional components. These include betaine, choline, amavadin. The use of red fly agaric in food is rarely practiced, because it does not have valuable taste characteristics, and it is easy to get poisoned with it if it is improperly prepared. To reveal the positive effect of red fly agaric, it is used in microdoses.

Factors of influence

Before conducting large-scale laboratory and clinical studies, it was believed that the consumption of red fly agaric in food always causes poisoning, which, in turn, is dangerous with a fatal outcome. A superficial study of the chemical composition of the mushroom, which is known to contain toxic ibotenic acid and muscimol, led to this hypothesis.

Later, it was established that different people are affected individually by the consumption of red amanita. According to research, this depends on several factors, including:

  • Dosage of substances that entered the body.
  • The method of using the mushroom.
  • Chemical composition of substances.

Depending on the individual characteristics of the organism, primary changes in the general condition and behavior of a person are observed half an hour after eating red amanita. Then comes the phase of active clinical manifestations of influence on the psyche. The degree of severity of such symptoms varies from person to person. Despite these features, the use of red mushroom is increasingly used in medicine for health purposes as specialists accumulate experience and conduct research.

Positive influence on the human body

The presence of neurotoxins in the composition is the main reason for the perception of the red amanita mushroom as a poisonous mushroom. Saturation of the blood with ibotenic acid and muscarine affects the main functions of the brain, which include memory, thinking, and the ability to concentrate. The correct use of red amanita causes the appearance of several psychoactive effects, so you can notice that:

  • Thinking has changed.
  • Anxiety disappeared, panic attacks decreased.
  • Increased energy potential, eliminated lethargy.
  • Work capacity has increased.
  • Visual sensations increased.
  • The quality of sleep has improved.
  • The feeling of connection with the environment has increased.
  • Mood improved.

Psychic effects of use

Red toadstool is a conditionally poisonous mushroom, which in case of improper use has an adverse effect on the psyche, causing a so-called altered state. The process of influencing the human psyche takes place in several phases:

  • The first phase (phase of influence) - occurs half an hour after taking red amanita. The duration of this stage varies from 1.5 to 4 hours. Signs that characterize the exposure phase: appearance of auditory and visual hallucinations, change in emotional state, disorientation in time and place.
  • The second phase (decline phase) is observed 4-6 hours after taking the mushroom. A person returns to his usual well-being, the signs of amanita consumption gradually recede. Symptoms that can potentially occur at this stage: feeling tired, headache, emotional depression.

Eating red agaric can affect a person's emotional state - euphoria can quickly turn into depression. That is why it is important to use it according to the principles of microdosing. Such an approach makes it possible to improve well-being, increase work capacity and own efficiency, overcome bad habits without negative manifestations.

Use in pharmacology

The red amanita mushroom is characterized by psychoactive and nootropic properties that are used in pharmacology. If you follow the recommendations and do not deviate from the prescription, the use of this mushroom provides a beneficial effect on the body. What are the effects of a moderate intake of red fly agaric:

  • Normalizes blood circulation in the brain, accelerates the process of speech recovery in people who have suffered a stroke.
  • Improves human cognitive abilities.
  • Naturally removes excess sugar from the body, cleanses the blood of toxic end products of metabolism.
  • Provides a mild psychostimulant effect.
  • Reduces heart rate.
  • Helps the brain to be better saturated with oxygen.
  • Provides a light anticonvulsant effect.
  • Reduces the impact of arterial hypertension, as it is characterized by hypotensive properties.

Microdosing as an effective scheme of use

The use of red fly agaric in microdoses has different effects on people. It should be noted that approximately 10% of those who use it for therapeutic purposes experience no effect, another 10% experience a strong effect from minimal doses (hypersensitivity), and 80% experience a number of positive changes in health and well-being.

Microdosing involves the use of 0.2-2 g of dried fly agaric per day. If you follow this scheme, you are not at risk of poisoning or unconsciousness. But you will feel the therapeutic effect. Such manifestations can be from several to a dozen, it depends on your individual characteristics.

As for the admission scheme, in general it is as follows:

  • Take half the dose in the morning and the other half in the evening. If the effect is not noticeable, try taking the full dose in the morning. Do not be afraid to experiment - your body is special and needs an individual approach.
  • If you do not have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, take the mushroom on an empty stomach.
  • If the minimum dose of red fly agaric does not give you the desired effect, increase it (but do not exceed the maximum of 2g).
  • If you feel that the body no longer needs to be supported by the useful components of the mushroom, stop taking it. Return to it when you feel the need.
