Video Transcription

hey guys doing this way virus mass outdoors got some information about chaga for you today so don't go away alright so for those of you that don't know this is tinder fungus chocolate okay and I've been getting a lot of questions actually lately about this so that's why i'm doing this video alright guys so chaga is actually a fungus basically a mushroom that grows on perch doesn't always have to grow a birch you know I've seen it I have actually seen it personally on other trees it's very rare you know chocolate in itself is pretty rare it's I think it's one out forty thousand trees is what I've read several times so it's pretty rare you know me myself I've seen dozens and dozens of chagas and I've left him alone because I got a box the stuff at the house you know if you have some of the stuff and you're not using it regularly on a daily basis if you have what you need leave it maybe somebody else will get it maybe it will just live outs life cycle it will eventually kill that birch tree but that's just the nature of things as what it is what it is you know it takes a long time for 27 years for that fungus to kill that tree you know so I hear a lot of things about overharvesting chaga and you know I don't really appreciate overharvesting of anything so alright guys so in my mind there are some different types of chaga you know you harvest the stuff get it in your house get it by campfire or camp stuff get it try it out as soon as you can you can't just let it dry naturally it will be fine but this stuff right here that's what you're looking for if you're looking for a tender fungus that bright orange it's real spongy kind of the consistency of like a dart board quark dart board you know it's got a cork consistency to it that's what you're looking for if you want to start a fire if you want to use this stuff for a medicine this is what you're looking for given that the black stuff it can be used medicinally in teas and tinctures and things like that but this is what you're looking for if you want to use this medicinally as a tea you know a lot darker than this you see the difference pull it back a little bit even the light side this is the chops I'd this is the inside of the chocolate is darker than this but i would call more for tender this will take a spark even from flint and steel and there are a host of things that chaga is is used for and it's good for it's one of the world's most dense this antioxidants that is known there are complete books that are written about this stuff you know it's it's hosted as just a miracle cure for cancer if use it in tinctures and things like that my let you guys do your own research on that because I could sit here for hours literally and talk about chaga but medicinally tease I wouldn't use this as a in a decoction i would i would make a hot infusion but i wouldn't boil this you know you wouldn't want to go to you would any more boil your water cold infusions take forever but there are the best because you're not boiling that out tinctures are amazing and have like ops have been hosted as you know miracle cures for cancers and preventatives for cancers and things like that but like i said do your own research on it some of its controversial some of it you know hasn't been proven you know the FDA obviously isn't going to come out and say this is a miracle cure for anything but like I said do your own research just a little quick tip for me about Jagran you

alright so chaga is one of nature's most densest antioxidant very good for the four you know and a four three two one
