Has anyone heard of them, I talked with a guy today who sells them. Mushroom found on birch tree holds promise as a potent anti-cancer tonic
My brother swears by birch bark tea. Dry and grind the birch bark up and make tea from it. Lots of good things in it.
One of the guys, Jessie Holmes, on the Natgeo show, Life Below Zero, was collecting chaga. He lets it dry and then grinds it to a powder. He claimed it's full of antioxidants, and makes a tea out of it. It was during the show from last week. He climbed white birches, and chopped off the chaga "growth", then picked it up off the ground. I had never heard of chaga before then. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
Me too. Googled how to harvest and they say only take it in the winter, off of live trees then dry it by (not in) a heat source (hey, we all have wood stoves or pellet stoves that would be perfect). Or, you can use a dehydrator at 120-125*
Spelling and pronunciation is a little off.... but maybe applies? Dang, Hasselhoff.... oops, not the best choice....
Lots of folks harvest it here. Lots of uses, I know a handful that use is to make the effects of chemo less harsh. Its sold all around up here. Must be good ju ju.
