1 : Mushrooms revered
One of the most powerful of all the mushrooms revered for their life enhancing qualities is a rare,
precious mushroom called Chaga. With a mystical history, Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) has been referred to for centuries as the ‘King of Herbs”. Siberian Chaga contains a unique and potent variety of antioxidants and phytonutrients when compared to other fungi or mushroom (see Fifth Kingdom).
For centuries, Chaga has been revered for its life enhancing properties. Chaga was ingested by the local people of the Siberian mountain regions in tea or powder form,
inhaled from smoke, and even applied to the skin for its beneficial properties in promoting good health.
2 : scientific research lending support
According to recent scientific research lending support to a wide range of historical references,
certain mushrooms are now touted by many experts to have numerous health benefits including providing anti-aging antioxidants and phytonutrient coumpounds that support a healthy immune system.
This botanical family of fungi have powerful nutrients to maintain our health and immunity.
For millennia, Ancient Medical Masters, documented and revered mushrooms as the superior “King of Herbs” for creating “Chi” or life-energy balance,
the key to general health and longevity. They often brewed Chaga tea from crushed granules to support good health and for the overall balancing of the body’s immune system. Today, Chaga is wildly touted and sought after throughout Asia.
3 : Pigments including melanins,
Chaga, is a polypore fungus (Polyporaceae or Gym enochaetaceae family), which grows on birch trees. The fungus produces a black perennial woody growth called a “conk” and is a member of the Basidiomycetes (true mushrooms).
Chaga contains an extraordinary amount of phyto-nutrients such as beta glucans, (a unique family of sugars called polysaccharides known to be immune activators), special compounds such as betulinic acid, special pigments including melanins, amino acids and nucleosides.
4:harvested
Because of its irregular shape and the way it is harvested, until now Chaga has generally been sold as dried, cut pieces of varying size. To find high potency Chaga, it can only be harvested in the wild. Many attempts to grow Chaga under commercial harvesting techniques have failed to reproduce the viable potency and quality.
