Why do psychedelics heal brain damage?

How can they possibly do that?

Imagination explosion. 

There isn’t actually a physical brain or psychedelics unless you imagine it to be.

Who said they do?

I haven't seen any evidence of psychedelics healing brain damage, but there is a substantial and growing body of research that psychedelics, when properly integrated, can help heal a variety of mental illnesses, including OCD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Not surprising, when you understand that the root of many mental illnesses is thought-entrapment. Awareness surrounds itself in a fortress of false thoughts, meant to keep it safe, but which entombs it. Psychedelics and other spiritual practices create enough chinks for the light of the absolute to shine through, gradually dissolving the walls until only the barest outline of a shadow remains.

This mini-review described the possible benefits of psychedelics for recovery from stroke and traumatic brain injury. Currently, studies in cell and animal models and clinical studies in humans suggest that psychedelics could be beneficial for these injuries by modulating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis, promoting neuroplasticity, and increasing brain activity complexity.
