Microdosing To Combat PMS

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a condition that many women experience during their lives in anticipation of their periods. PMS symptoms include depression, anxiety, fatigue, cramps, nausea, headaches, and backaches, to name just a few. That time of the month, as many women call it,  is met with feelings of dread.  “Will I be able to concentrate on my work?” “Might I lash out at my friends and family?” “ “Will I be too nauseous to get out of bed?”  

What can be done then?

Luckily, microdosing can help with PMS. When women come to their doctors with how their symptoms affect their daily lives, they are often dismissed as exaggerations. Even the more extreme version of PMS, Premenstrual Dysmorphic Disorder (PMDD) is regularly dismissed. As of now, there are prescribed medicines like ibuprofen or contraceptive pills that subdue the symptoms. But there are two things to consider. 

1) Women who experience stress (which in this day-and-age is basically EVERY woman) in the two weeks before their period, are 2-3x more likely to experience worse symptoms of PMS. Anti-inflammatories don’t really target the mental symptoms, nor do they act as a stress reliever.

2) Contraceptive pills subdue the symptoms early on, with lighter to no symptoms, and even no periods. But the side-effects to contraceptive pills are harsh — which can mean that often doctors advise against taking them. From unbearable mood-swings and changes in personality — to higher risk of blood-clots — there are many women who find themselves between a rock and a hard place when given this option.

As a result, women have begun to seek alternative treatments, and in tune to the world of psychedelic treatment. One of them is microdosing magic truffles for PMS! 

Microdosing To Help With PMS

If you want to combat PMS, you can microdose magic truffles. One way, is habitually microdosing following one of our microdosing methods. Even if your period is not due, microdosing will enhance your overall feeling of well-being. And, unlike contraceptive pills, there are no side effects to microdosing magic truffles. A magic truffle microdosing routine reduces our stress levels. And less stress can mean milder-to-zero symptoms of PMS! Another way is only microdosing when you feel the early onset of PMS symptoms coming on.  

The main psychoactive compound found in magic truffles is psilocybin. Psilocybin interacts with the brain’s serotonin. Instead of boosting your brain with more physical serotonin, it makes the brain believe there’s more. Which, unlike traditional medications that boost serotonin levels, you won’t have the corresponding serotonin withdrawals or dips.  

Studies show that by tricking the brain, you reap the positives of serotonin. These positives include: 

• better quality of sleep 
• improved energy levels 
• reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety

Microdosing For The Mind AND Body 

Studies show that this same psychoactive compound, psilocybin, helps with physical ailments too! With a subtle dose of magic truffles, the psilocybin acts as a vasoconstrictor. Which means, it reduces the blood flow to parts of the body, by constricting blood cells. Meaning — it reduces inflammation which causes the cramps, headaches, and back pain associated with PMS.

Is Microdosing Magic Truffles During PMS Right For Me/ My Partner/ Sister/ Friend/Etc.?

Since no woman’s menstrual cycle is the same, we suggest that microdosing magic truffles is a viable way to combat PMS symptoms, as it can be tailored to your body. With women having suffered from PMS and PMDD since the beginning of time, without adequate treatment, maybe microdosing psilocybin can finally turn the tide.
