Chaga Mushroom Powder Australia | Nimbin Apothecary

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a medicinal mushroom that grows symbiotically on birch trees and has been used in Russian and Northern European folk medicine for centuries. Remarkably, chaga has been shown to help heal birch trees that have fallen ill or are dying, which speaks to its potency as an immune and adaptogenic tonic.

Chaga has one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scores of any natural food, making it exceptionally rich in antioxidants. It is traditionally valued for immune support, fighting free radicals, supporting healthy ageing and maintaining cardiovascular health. There is also growing interest in chaga's potential to support healthy blood pressure and digestive balance.
