A possible and unfortunate side effect of shrooms is the nausea that can accompany its consumption.

Why Does It Occur?

Chitin: The cell walls of magic mushrooms contain chitin, a tough substance that can be difficult for the digestive system to break down.

Individual Sensitivity: Reactivity varies between people and some are more susceptible to nausea than others.

Sensory Overload: If your setting is overloaded with different sights, sounds, smells etc. the risk of inciting nausea will increase.

Dehydration: Insufficient water consumption can debilitate your digestive system’s ability to process magic mushrooms.

Dosing: Higher doses can increase chances of stomach discomfort.

How To Resolve The Issue:

Food: Avoid eating shrooms on a completely empty stomach. Eat a light meal or snack before ingesting your dose. Avoid junk food and don’t drink anything that is overly sweet ex. Soda.

Carbonated Water: Drink carbonated water as it hydrates and relieves any excess gas in your stomach that may trigger nausea, forcing you to burp it out.

Tea: Ginger, Peppermint or Lemon balm are compounds known for their anti-nauseating properties. Taking them in tea form with your shrooms can be immensely helpful in reducing unwanted side effects. Especially if they’re all concocted together.

Lemon Tek: Alleviates nausea by facilitating the breakdown of chitin. Mix powdered shrooms (1-3 grams) with fresh lemon juice (1-3 lemons) and let it sit 20-25 minutes (mixing every 5 minutes) before consuming.

Aroma Therapy: Lemon, Ginger, Lavender, and Cinnamon, can ameliorate smell induced nausea.

Deep Breathing Exercises: Breath work centers you and mitigates anxiousness which can trigger nausea.

Quality: Source fresh and high caliber mushrooms.
