Chaga is a unique fungus which grows wild on birch trees. It is believed to be one of the most powerful healing fungi found on earth, and is often heralded as the ‘diamond of the forest’. Chaga mushrooms grow in unison with the birch tree, and they absorb some of the tree’s nutrients which are then supplied to those who consume it. Hybrid Herbs concentrate ten pounds of chaga mushrooms into one pound of fine extract powder, for a highly absorbable product that’s ready to be used.

Chaga has been used as an ancient folk remedy in Eastern Europe for thousands of years to treat a variety of illnesses, and is traditionally consumed as a tea to promote health and well-being. It was made famous in Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel "The Cancer Ward", where he claimed Chaga had potential as a cancer treatment. Chaga mushrooms are believed to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants found in nature, and the ORAC scale reveals that they contain even higher antioxidant levels than blueberries. Antioxidants are believed to protect the body from free radical damage. Chaga mushrooms are also rich in polysaccharides, enzymes, melanin, trace minerals and vitamins B and D.

Like all medicinal mushrooms, chaga mushrooms are commonly consumed to help strengthen the immune system by bringing it into a state of balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, chaga mushrooms are often recommended to people suffering with inflammatory disease, yeast and fungal infections and fatigue.
