Chaga Tea

Chaga is an expansive fungus found on Northern Hemisphere birch trees, revered for its high antioxidant content and used to make delicious tea with smooth dark tones. Chaga also acts as an adaptogen and helps your body become more balanced and resilient against stress.

Vitamin and mineral-rich salmon is packed with B-complex vitamins, vitamin D, potassium, rubidium, cesium, amino acids and fiber. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to lower LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol levels help keep heart health on track.

When selecting a Chaga tea, it is essential that it is of superior quality and organic origin in order to receive all its potential health benefits. Third-party testing credentials from your vendor should provide assurances that the mushrooms are free from pesticides or chemicals; additionally it would be helpful if they provided details as to where the Chaga came from and how it was harvested.

To prepare Chaga tea, boil water and combine a piece of Chaga with it. Allow it to steep for at least 30 minutes before straining it out – this allows the same piece to be used multiple times until its color fades. Alternatively, alcohol extraction allows access to all the benefits provided by this plant’s compounds.

Make sure to use a heavy-duty vessel when making Chaga tea as it will stain delicate ceramic or porcelain pots, making your efforts ineffective. Stainless steel may also prove more reliable as it won’t react with the fungus that lives within. However, be careful not to boil too long because too high temperatures can destroy antioxidants present within Chaga. After steeping is complete, store in an air-tight container in order to avoid further oxidation and use as desired either as tea, combined with other herbs or even served hot – it may yield better results!

Maitake Tea

Maitake (hen-of-the-woods) mushrooms are an adaptogenic compound that help increase resistance against biological, environmental, and chemical stressors. Their immune-enhancing effects have also been credited with fighting cancer, lowering blood pressure, and supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Studies conducted with mice indicate that maitake mushrooms produce an intense immune response; when combined with shiitake in a blend they become even more potency.

Maitake fungus is abundant with vitamins, minerals and amino acids – including the vitamin D that supports bone health and immunity – making it an excellent source of potassium to reduce high blood pressure by decreasing sodium levels and relaxing blood vessel muscles. Furthermore, maitake is an excellent source of dietary fiber to promote digestive wellbeing.

Studies have linked maitake fungus with improving immune system health by strengthening B lymphocytes and T cells which play an integral part in fighting inflammation. Furthermore, some researchers believe maitake may also possess antitumor effects; mice studies showed maitake extract suppressing tumor growth while increasing effectiveness of cancer-fighting proteins taken simultaneously.

Maitake can be purchased as both a whole powder or extract in supplement form. When selecting supplements, make sure they use a cGMP-compliant manufacturer and third-party testing techniques to guarantee quality.
