Mushrooms have long been utilized in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine practices as health support, often touted to fight diseases or reduce tumor size, as well as being adaptogenic, which helps the body adapt to stress (whether fatigue, trauma, or anxiety). Our USDA Certified Organic Chaga is harvested from parasitic species of fungi found on birch trees; grated pieces can be made into tea-like beverages which have been likened to mild coffee cups; longer steep times allow chunks to be reused.
