Mushroom Tea Boosts Endurance and Strengthens Immunity
Ashwagandha, commonly referred to as Winter Cherry or Indian Ginseng, has long been used in Ayurvedic practices as an herb with antidepressant, brain health and memory enhancing properties. Studies have also demonstrated its effect on anxiety reduction. Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps can all be combined with Ashwagandha tea blends for improved mental clarity, focus, durability and energy levels.
Mushroom adaptogen tea is one of nature’s superstars, providing natural energy through nutrients rather than caffeine. This recipe uses Chaga as the “Gift of the Gods” by Siberian natives combined with Ashwagandha as an Ayurvedic tonic for rejuvenation to provide relaxation benefits.
Benefits
Mushroom teas provide numerous therapeutic and wellness benefits. Studies have demonstrated how certain varieties can boost energy, support immunity and extend endurance – yet each type has its own distinct nutrient profile.
Most functional mushroom powders have undergone at least some processing to make them more easily digestible and absorbable while preserving bioactive compounds they contain. When selecting a mushroom tea, look for one processed between 71 and 72 degrees Celsius to soften the cell wall chitin for easier digestibility.

Preparation
Ashwagandha root is an adaptogen, or substance which aids your body’s natural response to stress. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy at lowering cortisol levels, alleviating anxiety and depression symptoms, increasing energy, enhancing focus and providing relief from fatigue–both stress-induced chronic and physical. Ashwagandha can be purchased either in capsule form or made into tea.
Ashwagandha powder may have caught your eye in the health food aisle; it’s becoming an increasingly popular sleep aid to aid those suffering from insomnia. Studies show ashwagandha can both improve quality of sleep and decrease its duration time, according to registered dietitian nutritionist Prajakta Apte of Right Nutrition Works.
Ashwagandha mushroom tea can be purchased at many specialty tea stores. Some products feature whole mushrooms while others use powdered forms of the herb which you steep into hot water to brew a cup. Certain brands of this ashwagandha tea may even incorporate additional ingredients, like hibiscus or licorice into its blend.
If you’re interested in trying ashwagandha mushroom tea, make sure you choose a product which has been tested for safety and purity before purchasing. Apte notes the importance of selecting a reliable brand to prevent potentially harmful side effects like liver issues from taking supplements that have not been examined thoroughly by an independent lab; additionally it is a good idea to consult your physician as certain supplements could potentially interact with medications you already take, she notes.
Some brands sell a blend that contains whole mushrooms such as chaga, reishi and lion’s mane as well as herbs like rhodiola and Siberian ginseng. You may also find chaga tea made by simmering three whole chaga mushrooms for three minutes in boiling water.
As well as drinking it as tea, chaga or other adaptogens can also be consumed in capsules, tinctures or powdered blends specifically designed to be mixed into liquid beverages such as coffee or smoothies. If purchasing these supplements in capsule form (capsule, tablet or liquid extract) be sure to read labels closely, as not all ingredients may be listed.
