Let’s go on a walk into the great Boreal forest together to meet one of the most hyped of all the medicinal mushrooms.🍄
These fungi are at the forefront of the health food world’s attention these days as they provide potential miraculous benefits to those who consume according to new science & research.
Little do most people know Chaga actually grows in abundance in our province of Alberta Canada!🇨🇦
Chaga grows on Birch Trees, to find the Chaga you must find the Birch Trees!🌲
When harvesting remember to just take a chunk off and leave the rest to grow! Come back next year and you will see the Chaga will have regrown for another harvest! 👷👷♀️👌
Chaga’s benefits speak for themselves (according to scientific research):
Chaga: (inonotus obliquus)
* Adaptogenic (Stress Relieving)
* The Most Potent Anti-Oxidant Ever Discovered on the Face of The Planet
* One of the Most Alkalizing Substances known to Man
* Immune Enhancing (Anti-Viral, Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Fungal)
* Anti-Inflammatory
* Blood Pressure Moderating
* Blood Sugar Moderating
* Rich Source of Zinc
Preparation: How To Consume Chaga
Decoction :
Bring to a boil, 2 Tbsp of mushroom in one litre of water, turn to low and simmer this concoction for at least 20-30 minutes, up to several hours. The same mushrooms can be brewed over and over again until you see there is no more colour being extracted. Large quantities can be made and stored in the fridge to be used as needed. Feel free to combine other herbs that also require decoction!
By far the yummiest way to enjoy Chaga (that guarantees you will be taking your medicine) is the following:
