Overview

Psychedelic drugs reduce inflammation and alter immune responses in animal models, suggesting new therapeutic approaches.

Key Points

  • Psychedelic drugs can influence inflammation through modulation of immune responses.
  • In vivo studies show that psychedelics like (R)-DOI reduce inflammation in animal disease models.
  • Clinical studies indicate that psilocybin impacts cytokine levels in humans, supporting its use in therapy.
  • Emerging PIPI drugs may offer anti-inflammatory effects without psychedelic experiences, expanding treatment options.
