Chaga resembles a large body of growth and can look like burnt charcoal. It grows on white birch trees within cold climates. Chaga can be found in Russia, Korea, eastern and northern Europe, northern United States in the mountains of North Carolina and in Canada. Chaga absorbs and concentrates the immune compounds in the birch tree. In over 15-20 years it reaches maturity, and brings the important nutrients into a form we can consume. It can actually grow on other trees but then it's not Chaga and it's not medicinal. It has been used as a health remedy by the people of Siberia, Japan and China for hundreds of years. After a long history of being ignored by western pharmacologists, Chaga is currently enjoying a resurgence as a possible treatment for a wide variety of diseases and health problems.
