Jini Says +

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a mushroom that is well-known for its numerous health benefits!

Growing mainly on the bark of birch trees in Northern Europe, Siberia, Russia, Korea, Northern Canada, and Alaska, it has been known to lower inflammation, support immunity, and hold a high level of antioxidants-amongst many other health benefits!

My assistant Linsy uses this product to treat her ulcerative colitis, boost her immunity, and ensure that inflammation is reduced throughout her body. Even her physician recommends this amazing mushroom to his patients with IBD!

She likes it because Chaga mushroom extract has been known to suppress edema (swelling) and mucosal damage within the gut - and has an anti-inflammatory effect at sites in the colon and rectum. It helped her with inflammation she had in the lower colon/rectum from her ulcerative colitis.

She has also found Chaga to be beneficial in helping strengthen her immune system. Whenever she feels under the weather, she takes an extra dose of this powder and feels better very quickly!

Her preferred way of using this product is to add a scoop into her daily shake routine - it’s super easy and blends very well!

Generally found growing on birch trees and other hardwoods, chaga is a sclerotium, or mass of mycelium, resembling burnt charcoal. The sterile conk has been prized for centuries by northern indigenous populations and herbalists alike for its beneficial properties. Our chaga mushroom powder is ground from organic Inonotus obliquus. Chaga powder can be tinctured, decocted, encapsulated, or blended into a mushroom hot chocolate.

The antioxidant activity of polysaccharides (beta-glucans) contained in chaga help maintain cell integrity and fight free radicals. Chaga is used in traditional Russian Folk Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support gastrointestinal health, and as a tonic to support overall health.*

Chaga is a fungus, a parasitic carpophore that looks like the charred remains of burned wood on the side of a birch tree (sometimes growing on Elm and Alder, but Birch is its favorite). It is not the fruiting body of the fungus, but a sclerotia or mass of mycelium. The parasite enters the tree through a 'wound' in the bark of a mature tree. It then grows under the bark until it erupts in a deeply cracked, black charcoal like extension. It usually takes another 5-7 years for it to fully mature, at which point it falls to the forest floor, most times killing the host tree in the process. Chaga has been a part of folk medicine in Russia, Poland, China and numerous Baltic countries for many centuries. It was documented by Chinese herbalist Shen Nong in his herbal texts as early as the first century B.C.E.

Chaga supports immune health to help you stay feeling your best and supports the body’s immune defenses to stay feeling healthy.*

Chaga is typically and historically ingested as a tea, but it also has been made into a tincture, and less commonly into powder that is then used as a tea; Encapsulation seems to be rare. There have been reports of it being the base for liqueurs and as a substitute for hops in beer. In Russia, it can be found as a syrup, a tablet, an aerosol, and even as a suppository. If you are using the cut chaga for the purpose of making a tea, you can re-brew your material a second time without loss to flavor or potency. Our chaga powder is milled from the entire sclerotia.
