Health Benefits of Chaga Sorce:
Mother Earth News!
Most of the medical research on chaga has been done in Russia where the mushroom grows in abundance as it prefers cold climate forests. Chaga mushroom is an adaptogen. Adaptogenic plants and mushrooms help to bring the body back into balance and have beneficial effects on the nervous system, immune system, the GI tract, the cardiovascular system and the endocrine system. By supporting the body and mind in these ways, adaptogens help us to cope with stress, stay healthy during the cold and flu season, fight cancer, and lift us out of the dark depths of depression and adrenal burnout. They have immune-modulating properties that make them helpful in treating auto-immune diseases and have high levels of anti-oxidants that protect cells from damaging free radicals. Adaptogens gently tone and support the body systems over time and need to be taken for a minimum time of two months to develop the full effect of their healing powers. Enjoying a cup of delicious chaga tea daily during the fall and winter months ensures that your are receiving support when it is needed most.
Chaga mushroom tea has a pleasant and oh so slightly bitter taste with a hint of vanilla and reminds of a blend between strong black tea and coffee without the nervous jitter as it does not contain caffeine or any other stimulants. I enjoy it very much with almond or hazelnut milk and sweetened with a touch of maple syrup or honey.
It is an excellent alternative for people suffering from ulcers or adrenal fatigue who have to stop drinking coffee. Not only does the taste and color of chaga resemble coffee, it will also help to heal the underlying caffeine induced health problem.
Chaga Beverages Chaga Tea: To make a simple chaga tea take a handful of small chaga chunks and simmer them in about one quart of water with the lid closed for at least 10 minutes. If the color looks light like tea, simmer a little longer. Strain and enjoy with optional nut milk and/or maple syrup.
Chaga Chai: We have been making Raven Black Chaga Chai Tea at Raven Crest Farm this winter and it turned out to be everybody's favorite. Deliciously sweet, warming, and spicy. You can add other spices than the ones we are using, the sky is the limit. Be creative and make small batches until you find the spice mix you like most. You can also add medicinal herb roots to your blend to give it even more beneficial action, such as astragalus, burdock, or eleuthreo.
• 4 oz chaga chunks or powder
• 1 tsp maca powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon back chips
• 2 tsp dried orange peel
• 1 tsp dried rose hips
• 1 tsp cardamon pods
• 1 tsp cardamon seeds or powder
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, thinly sliced
Blend all dry herbs together and store in an airtight jar. Boil 4 tablespoons of the chaga blend together with the fresh ginger in 1 quart of water until raven black. Strain and serve with almond milk and optional honey or maple syrup. Boil same blend at least 10 times.
