Microdosing for neuroplasticity

I am a Doctor of Chinese Medicine who specializes in treating physical, mental, and emotional trauma. I offer a unique approach to healing that combines acupuncture, Chinese herbs, breathwork, and somatic techniques.

The body keeps the score of our emotional experiences, stressful events, traumas and accidents. Unprocessed emotions can create blockages in the body, leading to physical ailments and mental distress. Emotion is energy, and this energy needs to be transformed and released from the body to maintain optimal health.

I have found that one of the most influential tools for working with trauma is neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the nervous system and brain's ability to reorganize and adapt its structure and function in response to various internal and external factors, including new experiences and learning. It is the ability of the brain to change and reorganize itself throughout a person's life.

As most of you know, I am passionate about living in harmony with nature and using its resources for healing. Psilocybin is one of the most effective ways to achieve neuroplasicity in a natural and non-invasive way. I am talking specifically about microdosing.

What is macrodosing?

Microdosing involves taking a very small amount of psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, on a regular basis. Psilocybin has been shown to have a profound impact on mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improving overall well-being. It is also believed to promote new neural connections and increase the brain's flexibility, which can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from trauma.

Psychedelics have been a controversial topic in the past few decades, but there is growing evidence to support the use of psychedelic substances like psilocybin in microdosing regimens to promote mental health. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in certain types of mushrooms, and has been shown to have a variety of therapeutic benefits when used in small doses over time.

As a health care practitioner, I have seen firsthand the positive effects that alternative therapies can have on mental health. Traditional Chinese medicine views the mind and body as interconnected, and seeks to promote balance and harmony between the two.

In microdosing, individuals take small, sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin over a period of several weeks or months. Unlike traditional psychedelic experiences, microdosing does not produce intense hallucinations or altered states of consciousness. Instead, it is meant to be a subtle, ongoing therapy that works to promote mental and emotional well-being over time.

Research has shown that microdosing with psilocybin can have a number of benefits for mental health. It has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and can help to promote feelings of calm and well-being. One study found that microdosing with psilocybin led to improvements in creative thinking and problem solving, suggesting that it may have cognitive benefits as well.

Microdosing with psilocybin is thought to work by promoting neuroplasticity in the brain. Psilocybin binds to serotonin receptors in the brain, which can lead to changes in neural pathways and connections. This can promote the growth of new neural connections and help to rewire the brain, potentially leading to long-term improvements in mental health.

As with any form of therapy, microdosing with psilocybin should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. While psilocybin is a natural substance, it is still a potent psychoactive substance and can have side effects or interact with other medications.

In conclusion, microdosing with psilocybin is a promising therapy for mental health that can promote neuroplasticity and improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. As a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, I believe in taking a holistic approach to health and wellness, and believe that alternative therapies like microdosing can have an important role to play in promoting mental and emotional well-being.
