I had accidentally run into a video promoting [microdosing] Amanita. I was surprised at how many times she mentioned that Amanita Muscaria could help psoriasis. I have a severe case of psoriasis and found the thought to be intriguing. So I set upon a 6-month journey to see if the proposition was true.

I noticed right away that there was an effect on the patches. They were not as puffy, turned pink from red, and after the skin sloughed off, the scales which came back were thinner and lighter. From day one, the itching was reduced dramatically.

My journey started slowly because I didn't understand anything about Amanita. I started with some gummies I found at my local smoke shop. Once I realized that I would be dosing more frequently, I started to buy my gummies online. This then led me to discover using the real fruit caps. I experimented with tea before I became comfortable just eating the crisp dry caps. My greatest results came when I used an amanita oil to put on the skin externally in combination with eating the mushroom caps.

To find my dose, I first experimented with gummies which had a little "ibotenic" kick to them. I ate one gummy every 45 minutes until I had all five. The first two gummies gave a calming feeling. The next two gummies brought about increased energy and all the colors around me were saturated. The last gummy floored me, I was incapable of moving and I stared up at my ceiling to see rainbows. It was not head trippy at all, and I found myself wanting to get out of the beautiful rainbow trap that seemed to last forever. The come down was easy though and I was happy to be normal afterwards.

That being said, I decided my perfect microdose was 2 grams. For the first 3 months of my journey, I was taking 1 gram in the morning and 1 gram at night daily. Eventually increased to 2 grams in the morning and 2 grams at night. (This is "the Russian" protocol.) The overall effect on my skin was the reduced itching, puffiness, and thinner scales. On a hunch, I decided to blow my dose up the next three months. I ended up taking 2 grams in the morning, 2 grams in the afternoon, and 2 grams in the evening. I was also putting the Amanita oil on my skin every night.

What happened was the most wonderful surprise. I finally had the baby skin I had always wanted. I was so excited. However, all good things must come to an end. Amanita is more like an adaptogen when you use it like medicine. So...at the end of the six months, my skin began to reject it and started itching like crazy again.

Was it worth it? I say yes. I wanted a plant-based medicine for my psoriasis and the healing it provided lifted me from my depression and gave me hope. I realize that I needed to take a break from Amanita, but that I could use it for a potential rotation in my plant-based medicines. I might take a 6-month break before I try it again.

I wish I could share the photos. It would add so much more value to the story. It was truly a miracle.
