Chaga "mushrooms" have been used for centuries in Siberia and other parts of Asia as a medicine to boost immunity and improve overall health. Chaga is naturally packed with antioxidants.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a type of fungus (not actually a mushroom) that grows mainly on the bark of birch trees in cold climates. Traditionally, chaga was grated into a fine powder and brewed as an herbal tea.
Scientific studies indicate that chaga extract may provide certain health benefits:
may boost immune system by promoting beneficial cytokines to stimulate white blood cells.
may reduce inflammation by inhibiting harmful cytokines, which trigger inflammation and are associated with disease
