What’s Psychedelic Therapy

Psychedelic therapy is a technique that involves the use of psychedelic substances to aid the therapeutic process. Hallucinogenic substances have been used in holistic medicine and for spiritual practices by various cultures for thousands of years.
Research on the use of psychedelics flourished during the 1950s and 1960s until such substances were made illegal in the U.S. While psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin are still illegal in the U.S., they are believed to have the potential for the treatment of a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Over the last two decades, researchers have gotten approval from authorities to conduct trials on the use of these substances to treat various conditions. What researchers have found is that psychedelic substances can have beneficial therapeutic effects.
When utilized under supervision in a carefully controlled setting, these substances can produce lasting and significant psychological and behavioral changes.
