It is now well established that many soldiers return from active duty with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). In the last few years many psychedelics, such as psilocybin and MDMA, have shown promise in treating PTSD. A recent New York Times article now adds ayahuasca to the list of psychedelics with benefits for veterans and others suffering from PTSD and other mental health conditions.
For author Alex Seymour, however, this is not breaking news. After returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan as a member of the Royal Marine Commandos, he needed a way to cope with losing 7 men in his unit and having his best friend critically injured by a bomb. His search leads him to the Amazon where he discovers the healing power of ayahuasca. He shares his page-turning ayahuasca adventure in the book Psychedelic Marine.
Thankfully our modern world is beginning to recognize the full potential of psychedelics as medicine, from ecstasy and magic mushrooms to cannabis and ayahuasca. And our Park Street Press imprint will continue to publish ahead-of-the-curve researchers and cutting-edge books on these topics -- you can check out the full selection in our Psychedelics and Entheogens bookstore category.
