Chaga Knowledge

The Wild Chaga Mushroom ... The Secret of the Forest

Chaga is a wild growth of immense powers. Everyone needs more power, so everyone benefits from chaga. Real chaga is truly wild. It grows in the far northern forests, where the ecosystem is intact. This is crucial, because there is a vast difference between wild plants which grow in pure nature and farm-raised plants. Chaga thrives in the remote wilderness, growing on wild birch trees. It consumes and then concentrates the natural power of these trees. A polypore fungus taking up to twenty years to mature, chaga is a true force of wild nature. There is now man-made chaga grown in vats and labs. Do not accept cheap imitations.

The “Gift from God”

Rather than soft like a mushroom, chaga is hard, almost as hard as wood. It is unique, nothing like common mushrooms. In fact, chaga is the most nutritionally dense of all tree growths. Known by the Siberians as the “Gift from God” and the “Mushroom of Immortality,” this vibrant growth has been used by humans to support health for thousands of years. The Japanese call it “The Diamond of the Forest,” while the Chinese deem it “King of Plants.” For the Chinese that is saying a lot, since they have an immense history with countless plants. Now, you can get the great powerful secret of the Orient through North American Herb & Spice’s wild chaga supplements. Despite this exceptional status, most Americans are unaware of it.
         
To survive in harsh climates, chaga concentrates natural compounds for its protection, and that is why it is so powerful. To strengthen the tree, as well as heal, it makes potent phytochemicals, including sterols, phenols, and enzymes. Researchers have inoculated sick trees with chaga to strengthen them. People benefit by consuming these forest-source phytochemicals and nutrients.

Rubinol

 DR. OZ RECOMMENDED
*NEW PRODUCT LINE AT THE HEALTHY WAY*

Raw, wild black raspberry extract cold-pressed, enzymes and nutrients intact.

Rubinol is the rarest of all nutritional supplements. There is no other supplement like this available, anywhere. That is because no other company takes the time and care that North American Herb & Spice does. Our own company workers (even our president) go out every year to hand pick these wild berries in remote-northern forests. There is a small window of only a few weeks to get out and harvest these natural gifts. During these few weeks, the berries are fresh and available, and that is when we must go find them and harvest them. After that, any berries left over simply dry up and go back to the earth. Even with picking for about two weeks straight, wild black raspberries are so rare that Rubinol is always a limited supply.

Sprouting For Health

by Maire Bouvier-Newman

We often talk about the best foods to eat and where to get them. We also see food prices rising out of control and wonder if we can afford the best quality, yet we really want to eat a healthy diet. Well, did you know that there is a simple way to ensure high nutritional value with incredible savings by growing your own nutritious food? No, not a garden. I am talking about growing nutritional food year round with very little effort. It is called sprouting. It was popular in the 1970’s but is experiencing resurgence as people become more aware that their food comes from different countries and that even domestic produce is often harvested before the full nutritional value can develop or spoils on its way to you.

Sprouts are baby plants that have just begun the growing process. They are completely organic because you buy the seeds organically then grow them with pure water and daylight; nothing else. The benefits of eating sprouts are many. They are loaded with nutrients because as a seed begins to grow it releases enzymes, proteins and all of its vitamins and minerals in order to sustain its full potential as a large plant. The nutrient value is best once the first two leaves appear separated from each other. According to Steve Meyerowitz, author of “Sprouts, The Miracle Food”, biologists tell us that in the first 5-10 days, young plants achieve the maximum nutrient density.

What kinds of seeds can be sprouted, you ask? All kinds. From alfalfa (the most common sprout) to radish to red clover (a great blood purifier) to lentils and mung beans (bean sprouts in Chinese food) to green peas to sunflower seeds, many “seeds” can be sprouted and consumed. Grains can also be sprouted then dried and ground into flour to make nutritious breads, bagels, and crackers.

Do you have to be a master gardener to grow sprouts? Hardly. All that’s needed is an adequate container, good organic seeds, a small space on the counter, and about a minute a day for rinsing and draining. That’s it!  And it’s inexpensive too.

There are many things to do with sprouts. They can be eaten as is or added to sandwiches, salads, or even juices. They are crunchy which satisfies much like chips do. Well, maybe not quite like chips, but they are crunchy, taste good, and are good for you. That’s more than you can say for a bag of chips.

Within no time you can become an expert “sprouter”. See for yourself. You will be pleased with the results and the health benefits.
