WHY CHAGA?
ANCIENT USES OF CHAGAS
Chaga has had many uses throughout history among the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. It was used to start fires, and its nutritious properties made it ideal for making a tea that provided energy during the cold winter months. It was also fermented with seal fat to create a valuable oil. Chaga also played a role in animal husbandry, as it was given to dogs to enhance their health and increase litter size. It was also made into a natural soap, known for its cleansing properties, which helped to keep both skin and hair healthy and strong.
Naturally harvested Chaga is hard as rock and very difficult to process and use. They shared with us their ancient secrets for finding and processing Chaga so that its properties could be fully utilized. That's when their legend became our story.
Harvested from the wild boreal forests of the central Alaskan plateau, protected from the world's pollution by Mt. Denali to the south and the Brooks Mountain Range to the north, Polar Chaga is strong after battling the bitter cold of the Arctic winter. It has the highest levels of powerful, bioactive compounds and is unlike any other Chaga mushroom in the world.
