| | | WINTER 2025 | | | | | Happy New Year! As we enter the winter months, we’re reminded of the importance of self-care, resilience, and community. This season can be a time for reflection, renewal, and finding ways to nourish both body and mind.
In this issue, you will learn about a new clinical trial that aims to help breast cancer survivors manage joint pain with innovative treatment approaches and discover practical tips for using Integrative Medicine at Home (IM@Home) to maintain physical activity and emotional well-being during the colder months. We will explore Ayurveda’s role in cancer care, investigate the latest research on psilocybin, and share our upcoming workshops and series that provide a space for learning, connection, and self-care.
Thank you for being part of our integrative oncology family. Wishing you a warm and healthy winter!
Be well,

| | | About Herbs: Psilocybin
| | Psilocybin is a substance found in fungi that are commonly known as magic mushrooms. The mushrooms are consumed for their hallucinogenic effects, added to other foods to hide their bitter taste, or brewed as teas.
Studies suggest that psilocybin may benefit patients with multiple psychiatric conditions – including tobacco and alcohol addictions, treatment-resistant depression, and end-of-life anxiety. Larger clinical trials are needed to find out the long-term effects.
For more details about psilocybin see our full write-up on the About Herbs website or download the About Herbs app (available for Android via Google Play and iOS via the App Store).
