Chaga? Heard of it? This might just be one of the most healing foods/herbs/mushrooms/fungi on earth! Seriously. Meghan heads off to Northern Ontario to hunt for some of these bad boys. Does she succeed?

  • Hey, I like your video, however I think it's important to note that Chaga mushrooms actually grow on LIVE trees (that may have been damaged in the past), so when taking them off, it is important not to remove the bark all the way around, and also important not to dig too far into the tree.

  • @TheMermanda That is a very good point. I have since learned the very same thing- we were first advised they grew only on trees near death but that is not the case at all. Thanks for sharing that important information!

  • for free on a tree!!!! life story

  • Its not in dying trees..

    Chaga and Birch Tree's have a symbiotic relationship.. If the birch is dying, it can use the SDO's healing powers of the chaga mushroom to stay healthy.

    Dr. Cass Ingram talks about it.

  • who is the song artist in the background?

    also, thanks for the vid

  • FYI contrary to what the video says some polypores including chaga do grow on live trees, so be nice to the birch.

  • Do you know what are the side-effects of drinking too much chaga? Could diarrhea, fatigue and feeling tingly/pulsating be some of them?

    Do you discard all pieces of the chaga which naturally fall off when cleaning it of white spots (fungus I assume) and the blonde wood parts of the birch tree?

    If a large whole chaga is boiled in a little water is there any risk of getting a super-saturated/high concentration overdose?

  • Nice video,, I personally can't find chaga near where i live so i found a great company which sells chaga products. You can find them at sayan health dot com. I really like their tea. Or sometimes i just use an extract powder added to by shake.Go ghaga users, spread word around
