In light of the potential toxicity it has been shown to best reduce nausea and vomiting by making a tea from dried amanita muscaria.

1. Cut into small pieces and dry in an oven at just over 72C | |||
2. Weigh 15g dried from varying sizes of caps | |||
3. Place in distilled water 200ml. | |||
4. Add a very tiny amount of lemon juice or citric acid powder, stir, and then measure the pH of the water. Keep adding a tiny bit more until the pH value is between 2.5 and 3.0. | |||
5. 20 minute simmer should smell like baking bread | |||
6. Filter through metal sieve, try to stop any large particles from going through. | |||
7. Pour into a sterile jar. | |||

For dosing, start with a small amount such as 1/4 or 1 teaspoon while you are awake, and see how it affects you. Each new separate day while you are awake, increase the amount by a little until you then have the dose or dose range you want to experiment with. If your liquid is extra potent you can experiment with this same liquid at expected dosing for several weeks (or all year if used infrequently). | ||
