April is Earth Month, a time to reflect on the health of our planet and renew our commitment to practices that protect its precious resources. As we turn our focus to sustainable health solutions, let's delve into one of nature's most powerful gifts—the Chaga Mushroom. Known as the "King of Medicinal Mushrooms," Chaga has been revered for centuries in traditional medicine for its incredible health benefits.
At Morningside Naturals, we celebrate all the earth has to offer not just this month, but every day. We celebrate the bounty that the earth provides by taking a shot of Woodroot Tonic, that harnesses the power of the Chaga Mushroom.
We’ve incorporated Chaga because of its remarkable antioxidant properties, which are crucial for promoting gut health and overall well-being.
History of Chaga Mushrooms
Chaga Mushroom has a rich history of medicinal uses particularly in traditional medicines across Northen Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia. Russian folklore often refers to Chaga as the “Mushroom of Immortality,” which reflects its value in traditional medicine.
Throughout history it has been commonly used to treat gastrointestinal issues, heart ailments, and liver problems. It was also used as a treatment for tuberculosis in the early 20th century.
The medicinal properties of Chaga are believed to stem from its high content of melanin, antioxidants and polysaccharides.These properties provide health benefits such as immune support and anti-inflammatory effects.
Sustainable Foraging
Foraging Chaga is a difficult process that requires much care and knowledge to do it properly. Chaga can take years to develop and while attempts have been made to grow Chaga in a lab, these attempts have proved unsuccessful as there has yet to be a way to recreate the nutrient dense qualities of wild Chaga.
We’ve developed a relationship with TruNorth for our Chaga. They use sustainable practices that allows for the harvest of Chaga while also ensuring to not destroy the fungi. This allows it to continue to grow back for future generations.
Sustainability in foraging Chaga is a crucial step for the health of the planet and the humans that use it medicinally. View this video below to learn more!
Why is Chaga in Woodroot Tonic
In more recent years, Chaga has gained popularity in the West as a “superfood” because of its antioxidant properties and as an adaptogen. Antioxidants fight oxidative stress in the body, which is linked to inflammation and various diseases. By nutralizing free radicals, the antioxidants in chaga can help protect tissues from damage and reduce inflammation.
When used in Woodroot Tonic, Chaga helps contribute to a healthier you by
- Enhancing digestion and reducing discomfort by calming inflammation in the gut.
- Strengthens the immune system and protects against illnesses.
- Boosts energy without the crash associated with caffeine.
- Help improve focus and mental clarity, aiding in stress management and cognitive function.
- Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in Woodroot Tonic can contribute to clearer, healthier skin by combating oxidative stress and inflammation.
Chaga’s effects can be enhanced when it is combined with other anti-inflammatory and health-supportive ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, and ashwagandha. The synergy can create a more comprehensive approach to reducing inflammation and supporting digestive health.

I have been drinking Woodroot Tonic everyday for about 3years now and have never felt better. I start every morning with a shot and it’s great because it doesn’t break my fast “I intermittent fast everyday” so it’s a great addition to my morning routine. My energy levels are up, I never have stomach issues of any kind, and I’m rarely sick. When I do feel a cold or cough coming on I double up my daily dosage and am never unwell for more than 48hrs. I love this product and everything about it. - Zachary S - Verified Customer
