If you are unfamiliar with this strange-looking fungus, it is an ancient herbal remedy loaded with various vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that has been used as an effective cure for tuberculosis, bad circulation and even cancer treatment. Furthermore, its beneficial properties may aid with arthritis pain management, weight loss and arthritis symptoms as well as providing natural immune booster benefits. In short, reishi mushrooms are considered one of the strongest natural immune boosters available today.

Many people consume Chaga as tea. There are various methods for creating it, with boiling hot water being the most popular method. Chaga tea has an earthy, almost woodsy flavor which many find pleasant; many compare its taste to tree bark or forest floor. Chaga does not taste strong or bitter like some herbal remedies do – in fact if it tastes extremely bitter it could be an indication that its quality has decreased drastically.

Many people add milk to their tea because it helps soften its earthy, bitter flavor and sweeten it to their liking with honey or sugar; you may also prefer drinking it straight up if that is your choice.

Making a tincture from chaga is another popular approach, though more involved than simply brewing tea. To achieve this result, first grind up your chaga into powder using either a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle; then soak it in high proof alcohol such as vodka to allow the fungus to release all its essential nutrients more effectively – this process may take up to one month!

Chaga offers numerous health benefits to the body, such as protecting it from oxidative stress and inflammation levels in the body. It has a remarkable antioxidant capacity which is 10x greater than what can be found in acai berries, as well as helping regulate production of cytokine protein that regulates inflammation levels within our bodies.

Chaga boasts many impressive health benefits, and is an incredibly rich source of vitamin B12 as well as phenolic acids and minerals. As one of the world’s rarest plants with such an incredible nutritional profile, no surprise it has long been used as part of traditional medicine in Russia, Poland and other Baltic nations. Chaga can be enjoyed as tea or used even as an alternative face mask!
