Amanita Muscaria Tinctures and Extracts Have Many Benefits
Amanita Muscaria tinctures and extracts are being used more and more by experienced consumers. Unlike dehydrated A. Muscaria mushrooms, which vary widely in the amount of psychoactive components, tinctures and extracts have a consistent amount throughout. This makes for easy dosing and a consistent therapeutic effect.
What is Amanita Muscaria?
This mushroom has been seen throughout mainstream media for quite some time. It has a red cap with white spots. Many people refer to it as the Mario mushroom or the Santa Claus mushroom. Amanita Muscaria mushrooms are primarily found in wooded areas in Europe between July and October. They have also been found in other parts of the world, but not as often. Cultures across the globe have been consuming this mushroom for its therapeutic benefits for centuries. Muscimol and ibotenic acid are the primary psychoactive ingredients. They have been known to create a euphoric state where many have reported increased energy, enhanced creativity, even a sensation of floating.
What is Amanita Muscaria Tincture?
Amanita Muscaria tincture is made either with an alcohol base or a water base. Some people don’t consume A. Muscaria tincture. Instead, it is placed externally on the skin to alleviate pain. Many report that it is perfect for relieving sciatica and back pain. Tinctures can be consumed, but the effect is more psychoactive and less pain relief.
Amanita Muscaria tincture is relatively simple to make. Take the dried mushroom, chop it up, and then let it sit in alcohol, like vodka, that is 60% ABV (alcohol by volume) or higher. After a month, strain out the liquid and apply it to any aches and pains. There is also a two step water bath extraction method many use because muscimol dissolves in water better than alcohol. However, the concentration of these active ingredients are relatively small compared to an extract and can vary in potency throughout.
What is Amanita Muscaria Extract?
Amanita Muscaria extract can be a liquid, resin, or a dry powder. The processes to create these various extracts involve solvents and specialized equipment. Using much of this equipment requires specific training. The resulting concentration of muscimol and ibotenic acid can be significantly higher than a tincture. There are also refinement processes in extracts that can reduce the amount of ibotenic acid which is known for causing many of the negative side effects. Extracts provide a specific dose and potency that is consistent with every use.
Benefits of Amanita Muscaria Tincture and Extract
Since a tincture can be applied topically, it is best used for pain relief. However, like an extract tinctures, can be eaten and interact with the GABA receptors in the central nervous system. Deeper sleep, reduced anxiety, enhanced creativity, increased energy, and vivid dreams are just a few of the benefits of consuming Amanita Muscaria tincture. Due to the higher concentration of ibotenic acid and muscimol, extracts may have stronger effects.
