Meet the Mushroom

Also known as the ‘diamond of the forest’, chaga is an old Russian word for mushroom and it has been a traditional medicine in Northern Europe and Russia for hundreds of years. Chaga grows on the bark of the birch tree, it harnesses the power of these ancient trees, drawing nutrients from their inner layers and converting them to active compounds to support overall health. 

History

Chaga is renowned for increasing vitality and supporting the immune system. Traditionally it was used in folk medicine in Eastern Russia, boiled to make a tea to support immunity and overall health.
