Mushroom tea contains adaptogenic properties, which may help manage stress and promote normal immune function. Making this part of your morning ritual could provide benefits in terms of immunity health, focus, and clarity.

1. Chaga Mushroom

Though mushrooms may come to mind when thinking of side dishes or adding them to soups and stews, there are also edible varieties which could provide health benefits. Chaga mushroom, an edible species found growing on birch trees in cold climates that has long been used medicinally in Russia and Northern Europe, is often included as an ingredient in herbal teas, powders, or extracts.

Chaga contains high concentrations of antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, which is linked to heart disease and other ailments.

You can buy Chaga at most natural food stores as powder or capsules; it can even be mixed into coffee or hot water to make tea! It should be taken in small doses at first to assess any reactions; because Chaga is unregulated like medication by FDA it’s best advised that any adverse reactions occur before increasing its consumption if taking medications such as Chaga could potentially harm them; furthermore it should be noted that those suffering from an autoimmune disease should consult their healthcare practitioner prior to starting Chaga consumption.

Chaga not only boosts immunity but has also been proven to decrease tumors and slow cancerous cell growth in studies with Petri dishes and mice.
