Q: Some people are selling Chaga powder is it better?
A: We prefer to take it straight from the tree and let you use it as see fit. You could grind/mill it then use, its debatable how this effects Chaga, just as for example went using a centrifugal juicer on vegetables, the cutting can effect the enzymes. We have no proof of the but at Ancient Purity we like our Chaga in chunks, so that how we provide it.

Q: How many times can I re-boil a chunk of Chaga?.
A: Personally, I will 3 or 4 times, but I tend to then just add new pieces to the pot rather than throw an old bit away.

Q: I have a major health issue, how should i use Chaga?
A: We recommend David Wolfe's book "Chaga" King of the Medicinal Mushrooms.
