Reishi mushroom offers us a subtle yet powerful opportunity to alter our consciousness. By shifting our nervous systems into a quieter rhythm, reishi invites us to notice aspects of the living world and of ourselves that may have gone unnoticed.
Chaga mushroom contains extremely high levels of antioxidants (1300x higher than blueberries!) that protect our bodies from oxidative stress. Its high levels of melanin also feed our pineal glands and help regulate circadian rhythm.
Chaga is currently being over-harvested in the wild. To protect this important medicine we must protect our mature forests and educate ourselves about responsible wildcrafting. What does this mean at Forest Folk?
1. We limit our annual chaga use and harvest to 5 lbs or less. If we sell out, we sell out.
2. When wildcrafting, we always leave behind at least 25% of a chaga conk to allow for regrowth.
3. We make medicine for you, then use the "leftover" chaga grounds up to 10 times in our home kitchen for personal use.
4. There is no guarantee that we will continue to formulate with chaga. We evaluate this decision every year.
5. We place great value on our forests, working to protect them locally and supporting those acting on a more global scale.
