Beautiful river patch, fading flower, seems like a good period to dig-out smelly but precious valerian roots 🫚⚕️🩵

Long and hot summer came to closure ☀️ October seems like a great period to focus on autumn "treasures", dedication to medicinal cabinet and plant preparations 🍄🍯🍁

Death-Cap Mushrooms Are Terrifying and Unstoppable

A new study drawing on two large UK birth cohorts, covering more than 21,000 people, found that those who had used psilocybin or L*D at least once in their lifetime were more likely to hold pro-environmental attitudes and to follow a vegetarian diet. Past psilocybin users in particular reported a broadly healthier eating pattern, including more salads and raw vegetables. Analysis pointed to people’s environmental views as what linked their psychedelic use to their diet.

A retrospective study like this one can only show possible associations rather than causes, but the population-level view makes it interesting in a field where questions are usually studied through small samples. So while participants were reporting on their own past use and habits, and people already inclined towards nature and vegetarianism may be more drawn to psychedelics in the first place, the findings suggest that shifts in how people relate to the natural world may be part of why their habits change.

✨ "Iako je interes za psihodeličnu terapiju u naglom porastu, dostupna istraživanja još uvijek uključuju ograničen broj sudionika i relativno kratka razdoblja praćenja da bi povukli jasne zaključke. Zbog toga ostaju nejasna sljedeća pitanja: koliko dugo traje terapijski učinak, postoji li potreba za ponavljanjem aplikacije i u kojem periodu, koji si sigurnosni rizici i komplikacije.

Kako uklopiti uporabu u zdravstveni sustav uz jasno definirane standarde te zakonska regulativa, riješiti etička pitanja, razviti terapijske postupke te financiranje iz proračuna.

Sumarno, psilocibin, L*D i DMT pokazuju značajnu korist u liječenju poremećaja raspoloženja, problema uzrokovanih prekomjernom konzumacijom alkohola, tjeskobe, intrapsihičke napetosti te u liječenju neurodegenerativnih poremećaja."

Psihodelici – mogu li kontroverzne supstance postati terapijski pristup? Psihodelici su tvari koje mijenjaju percepciju, emocije i način obrade informacija, a dijelimo ih na sintetičke i prirodne. Najpoznatiji su psihodelici dietilamid lizerginske kiseline (L*D), dimetiltriptamin (DMT), psilocibin i meskalin.

The bright red Amanita muscaria mushroom has fascinated people for centuries, but scientists still know surprisingly little about how it is prepared and experienced in the real world. Now, researchers are asking the public to help answer those questions.

The University of Wi******er has launched an anonymous research survey for adults who have used Amanita muscaria within the past five years. Researchers hope to better understand preparation methods, frequency of use, reported experiences, and both positive and negative outcomes under real-world conditions.

The study is especially interested in how preparation methods, including heating and decarboxylation, may influence reported experiences. By collecting anonymous information, scientists aim to improve future safety guidance and expand scientific knowledge about this unique mushroom species.

The online survey takes around 20 to 30 minutes, collects no names, email addresses, or IP addresses, follows GDPR privacy standards, and has received ethical approval from the university. Researchers say every response could help improve future mushroom research.

💐 Bouquet of Saint Anthony 💐

Tradition heard about from the island of Silba couple of years ago. Since then keeping the tradition a-live and feel-good resonance to honor the "flower cycle".
St. Anthony bouquet is a flower bouquet created out of 13 herbs (medicinal plants) that represent 13 virtues of the Saint Anthony;
💐 ruzmarin/rosemary
💐 mirta/myrtle
💐 orah/walnut
💐 gospina trava/st. john's wort
💐 menta/mint
💐 "zacje usi"/lamb's ear
💐 perunika/iris
💐 sljez/marshmallow
💐 lavanda/lavander
💐 kadulja/sage
💐 smilje/immortelle
💐 lovor/bay-leave
💐 kamilica/chamomile
Via verbal information (since didn't find any writings) tradition follows ceremonial way of collecting herbs through procession path from church in the village center to Porat Sv. Ante (chapel of St. Anthony). After collecting the plants, bouquet is made out of fresh plants and tight to hang up-side-down until it's fully dry. On 13th of June (Feast of St. Anthony and patron saint of Silba) bouquet is shared among the family and friends as "protection".
Bouquet of St. Anthony is kept in living room and if part of family or close friends with ill-health and/or "evil eye", bouquet is burned and space where did the revelation occurred is smudged to clean and purify 💐💨❤️
