Journal of Psychedelic Studies April 2, 2025 Hope Kronman, Alison Locker, Abdi Assadi et al.

Her symptoms eventually improved when treated within a Traditional Chinese Medicine framework. The authors argue that psychedelic treatment, particularly during the integration phase, may benefit from techniques that address energies not recognized by Western medicine.
