Chaga Mushroom is prized by natural health practitioners who consider it far superior to anything else in nature. The Chaga Mushroom has been appreciated for thousands of years, dating as far back as the 16th century traditionally used in Eastern European folk medicine as a natural remedy for tuberculosis of the bones, gastritis, and ulcers. Worldwide it is considered 'The Medicinal King of Herbs' and a precious gift from nature. Chaga Mushroom draws its nutrients out of living birch trees, rather than from the ground. The amazing properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from birch trees, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapy agent. Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, as well as the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as maitake mushroom and shiitake mushroom.

For centuries Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have used Chaga Mushroom for general health, longevity, beauty, and as a remedy for the most serious health conditions. In Asian culture, the Chaga Mushroom is referred to as the 'Mushroom of Immortality' used to boost immunity, supporting the body's ability to eliminate toxins while stimulating the nervous system. Raw Chaga Mushroom is a wonderful source of Melanin providing youthful looks and vibrant skin. The Chaga Mushroom is known for its wonderful antioxidant and inflammation reducing properties and is said to have the highest antioxidant level of any mushroom!

Today, the Chaga Mushroom is commonly used to combat hypertension, viral infections, and support a healthy cardiovascular system. Chaga Mushroom contains large amounts of phytonutrients and immune activating compounds such as Beta Glycans and polysaccharides which enhance immune function stimulating the body's ability to set up cellular defenses. It has even been said that the Chaga Mushroom can balance metabolism and one's chi or vital energy levels.

The Chaga Mushroom is native to Western Siberia, Canada and USA and typically grows on the trunks of birch trees. Unlike other mushrooms with gills or caps, the Chaga is has pores and is irregularly formed looking much like a burnt piece of charcoal. The Chaga is a parasitic mushroom that feeds on the white part of birch tree bark where the antimutagenic action of the molecules inhibits free-radical oxidation producing interferons enhancing DNA repair. This white part of the birch bark is also where the Chaga Mushroom obtains the powerful betulinic acid which may fight abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

Raw Chaga Mushroom is 100% natural and harvested in the wild. It contain over 215 phytonutrients, has 25 to 50 times more SOD antioxidants than Agarigus, CoQ 10, vitamin C and wild blueberries, and is rated among the highest on the ORAC.

How To Make Chaga Tea

Ingredients: Wild Harvested Chaga, 2 Quarts (64oz) of Water, Medium Size Boiling Pot With Top

Simply Put: Put a chunk of Chaga into a pot, fill the pot up with water, boil the water for as long as you like, and then let it cool a bit before pouring into a mug, enjoy plain or with your favorite sweetener.
* I like to boil it for about 2 hours, the longer the boil, the stronger the tea. I like the plain taste of Chaga Tea
but I also enjoy using raw honey.
More Precise Steps on how to make Chaga Tea:

Step 1: Put two (2) quarts of water into pot and place the top on the pot
leaking a crack for some heat to get out, this will help the water build heat,
but wont heat the water too quickly, which keeps the integrity of the water.
Step 2: Turn a burner on 6 and bring to a boil
Step 3: Take a piece of Chaga the size of a Silver Dollar:
*You can use a chunk which is easier to work with or
you can cut the chaga into very small pieces with a knife
to increase surface area of the herb. Some people even powder it.
I prefer keeping it simple with just using chunks of Chaga.
Step 4: After the water starts to boil, you can turn the heat down to a 3 or you can
can choose to leave the dial at 6. Let the water in the pot boil down to about
half of the amount in the pot. This will create a strong brew.
*If you’re pressed for time, you can boil it with higher heat for 15-20 minutes
Step 5: Turn off the heat and let the Chaga steep in the pot with the top completely covering the pot
Step 6: If you would like to flavor your Chaga Tea with Mint Leaves or any other herb, now is the time to add it
to the pot. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, or just 5 minutes if you like.
Step 7: Strain Chaga tea off into a mason jar, let cool down to a safe temp, enjoy

Quick Coffee Pot Method:

You will need: Coffee warmer or coffee machine, tea cup strainer (single cup strainer), powdered chaga, water


Step 1: Powder your chaga with a vitamix or chop up finely with a knife and you can also use a mortar and pestle to grind up chaga.
Step 2: Place 2 Tea Spoon or Table Spoonful of Chaga in the Coffee Pot
Step 3: Add Water
Step 4: Let hot water mix with chaga for 20 minutes - Add flavored tea bag if you like.
Step 5: Strain into cup or mason jar
Step 6: Enjoy wild nutrition!

Crock Pot Method (My favorite method)

Step 1: Fill up a crock pot with water and turn on low
Step 2: Put multiple chunks of Chaga in the crock pot
Step 3: Let the herbs continuously break down in the crock pot (Add more water as needed)
Step 4: Enjoy fresh and strongly brewed Chaga Tea throughout the day from your crock pot
* This is my favorite way to make my Chaga Tea because you don’t have to babysit a pot on a stove all day. You can put your herbs in the crock pot, leave for the day, and come home to a strongly brewed, vibrance inducing tea!

How to Use The Wild Mushroom Extracts

Step 1: Use 1 Dropper Full Two Times Per Day A.M. & P.M. –

Step 2: Put 1 Dropper Full Into 2 ounces of Juice or your favorite drink

*I put 1 Dropper Full underneath my tongue and I close my mouth so the alcohol does not evaporate and I leave it in my mouth for at least 90 seconds. I feel this method helps the extract transfer into the body really quickly.

Really? I thought Reishi was The Mushroom of Immortality,
and the most prized tonic herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"If there were one herb that has built a backbone in holistic health, it would be reishi. It has been over two thousand years since it was first written about in the very first Chinese herbal text, Shennong’s Pharmacopeia. Within these pages, he wrote about all different types of herbs, their effects, what they used them for, and their “class.” Even in this ancient text, red reishi was not only recognized as being in the superior class of herbs, but also at the top of its class."

I think they refer to many mushrooms as "the mushroom of immortality." I don't know that chaga bestows immortality but it would certainly give ya a big boost with it! I think chaga is really meant to refer to the fact that it helps to prolong one's life and promote extreme good health in the long run. It's great for whatever ails you
