The Shroom Boom: How magic mushrooms are being used to treat mental health
Description
June 12, 2021
Hallucinogenic magic mushrooms were thought to have healing properties for centuries. It extended right up to the 1960s, when their use was banned during the so-called war on drugs. Today, they're going through a research renaissance, and scientists are revealing their potential to help people with mental health disorders, like anxiety, depression and PTSD. Robin Gill reports for The New Reality.
