Psilocybin, the active ingredient in [psychedelic magic mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroom-gummies1), has long shown a lot of promise as a potential treatment for PTSD, but dosage control and safety oversight has been a persistent challenge. This is precisely what Madrigal's nasal spray technology looks to overcome. The system, invented by Professor Amnon Sintov of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, uses biodegradable nanoparticles to offer focused and rapid delivery of psilocybin in controlled doses. While preclinical trials and in-human clinical trials will need to be conducted to help bring the treatment to market, the advent of a spray-based psilocybin therapy method is a promising development for the nascent [psychedelic therapy market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compassion-center).
