Chaga Mushroom: Immune Builder

Chaga mushroom is all about building immunity—something we all want in our lives. Chaga (not technically a mushroom but rather pre-mushroom growth) possesses immune-system-enhancing nutrients that revitalize white blood cell count by increasing the production of lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils, so that your body can battle invaders such as toxins and pathogens, as well as fungi such as yeast and mold.

This incredible wild food also strengthens red blood cells and bone barrow, balances blood platelets, and staves off cytokine storms, which are the result of the body overreacting to a pathogen or toxin. This type of reaction occurs because the immune system is racing to die out a fire. Cytokine storms can result in blood vessels expanding (which can lead to hemorrhaging), hives, rashes, and fever.

With chaga on your side, the body is much better equipped to deal with pathogens and toxins. Chaga is one of the most medicinal tools and overall tonics of the century. The phytochemicals in chaga are wonderful for helping with cancer prevention, regulating blood sugar, boosting the adrenals while regulating the rest of the endocrine system, breaking down and dissolving, and destroying unproductive fungus in the intestinal tract.

There’s a trending misconception that mushrooms and other edible fungi are bad for you, because people fear that ingesting fungus results in fungal overgrowth in the body. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Mushrooms are some of the best fighters of unproductive fungus that we have, including Chaga.

How To Use:

You can use chaga powder in smoothies, or make a tea with it by stirring the powder into hot water. It’s a great alternative to coffee or hot chocolate and has no caffeine. Add raw honey to the tea to enhance the healing properties.
