Mountain Rose Herbs – Chaga Extract 16 oz

Extraction Method Double Extraction Method. Contains 25% alcohol Overview ‘,
“Chaga is a fungus, a parasitic carpophore that looks like the charred remains
of burned wood on the side of a birch tree (sometimes growing on Elm and
Alder, but Birch is its favorite). It is not the fruiting body of the fungus,
but a sclerotia or mass of mycelium. The parasite enters the tree through a
‘wound’ in the bark of a mature tree. It then grows under the bark until it
erupts in a deeply cracked, black charcoal like extension. It usually takes
another 5-7 years for it to fully mature, at which point it falls to the
forest floor, most times killing the host tree in the process. Chaga has been
a part of folk medicine in Russia, Poland, China and numerous Baltic countries
for many centuries. It was documented by Chinese herbalist Shen Nong in his
herbal texts as early as the first century B.C.E.” Packaging and Shipping 1
