BANISH stress and depression with this Siberian ‘mood shroom’

For many, the answer ISN’T a “mood med.”

But that DOESN’T mean there’s NOTHING that could help.

In fact, some relief could come from a pretty UNEXPECTED source.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a type of fungus that grows on birch trees in the northernmost parts of Europe… Asia… and North America.

In fact, it THRIVES in the cold climates of Alaska and Siberia!

It’s called a “mushroom”… but with its black color and hard texture, it doesn’t look much like one.

You can actually use it to start a fire… so some folks call it the “tinder fungus.”

But it’s also MOST NUTRITIOUS of all tree growths.

Maybe that’s why the Japanese call it “The Diamond of the Forest”… or why the Chinese call it “King of Plants.”

In 1955, the USSR Ministry of Health added this “Gift from God” (as they referred to it) to the Soviet Pharmacopeia.

You’ve read before right here in eAlert how chaga mushroom could help REDUCE fatigue… SHARPEN cognition…

And even FIGHT cancer.

But what might’ve INTRIGUED the Russians is chaga’s power as an adaptogen – meaning, it helps our bodies AND minds adapt to stressful circumstances.

During the Cold War, Russia PIONEERED research in how adaptogens might help its soldiers survive battles…

And as it turns out, chaga could help you ENDURE whatever might be STRESSING you out…

And help keep your mood away from a downward spiral.

Chaga also offers powerful anti-inflammatory action… and excess inflammation has been implicated previously in depression.

What’s more, a 2021 study out of Penn State found that adults who eat MORE mushrooms tend to feel LESS depressed!

And chaga mushroom in particular has been associated with a calming effect.

Look for chaga mushroom extract in powdered, capsule, and tincture forms at your local health food store or online.

Chaga power can also be brewed in hot water as a tea or “coffee.” Chagaccino, anyone?
