What are tonic herbs?
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the herbal world, the most fully developed herbal system in the world.
The tonic herbs have always held a very special place in cultures all over the world. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living, and thus are associated with the ideals of long life, slow aging, glowing health, happiness, wisdom, physical vitality, adaptability, sexual vigor and response, mental acuity and clear intuition, love and compassion, and harmonious relations with nature and with one's fellow human beings.
The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not medicinal in the usual sense. Tonic herbs help to regulate our mind and body functions so that the body can re-establish and maintain balance, adaptability, vigor and vitality.
Why Consume Tonic Herbs?
Tonic herbs are not medicinal. They nurture the growth of life, they nurture the growth of the human spirit. They help to slow down the aging process. They protect us on every level - physically, immunologically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
What distinguishes the tonic herbs is that face that the emphasis is on promoting health. Where as other systems usually emphasize the remedial over the preventive, meaning most systems focus on treating disease and illness, instead of focusing on promoting true health and vitality.
Tonic Herbs Are Transformative
Almost every person who uses tonic herbs for any extended period of time experiences noticeable benefits. In some cases a person will notice the benefits instantaneously and profoundly, yet in others the effects may be subtle at first, with cumulative effects developing over time.
One of the profound benefits of the tonic herbs is their ability to help change "vicious cycles" into "benevolent cycles." The tonics help reverse the process of one problem leading to more problems. The fact is that something good usually happens when you start taking these herbs. You start to feel balanced and strong inside. You start having abundant energy when you need it and yet you feel relaxed and at peace. You become more and more adaptive so that you can do a lot of things that may have seemed impossible before. You find yourself taking on challenges you couldn't have handled before, doing things that you used to avoid or that you thought you were incapable of doing.
A word of advice: protect yourself.
The world is a dangerous place, and may be becoming more dangerous. Use the tonic herbs to help regulate and boost your protective functions. You can tune your immune system so that it may be highly reliable and effective, even If everyone around you is sick.
You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to feel good and be healthy. You deserve the highest quality and quantity of life. The tonic herbs are the easiest and most effective way to allow both of these things to happen.

What is Chaga?
What is chaga
It is a parasitic fungus on Birch trees. The sterile conk is irregularly formed and has the appearance of burnt charcoal. It grows in birch forests of Russia, Korea, Eastern Europe, Northern areas of the United States and in the North Carolina mountains.
Chaga takes 5 to 7 years to grow, is very rare and cannot be farmed
Highest orac score
There is no argument that antioxidants are crucial for one’s health. Yet chaga has the highest ORAC score ever recorded in any natural food! Testing of Siberian chaga has shown that chaga has the highest ORAC score recorded in any natural food: 1,104 ORAC units per gram. This is more than 6 times as powerful as açaí berries, more than 10 times the antioxidant power of pomegranate and 46 times higher than blueberries. This means that Siberian chaga has far greater capacity to wipe out free radicals in your system.
Medicinal uses
Since the 16th century, there are records of chaga mushroom being used in folk medicine and the botanical medicine of the Eastern European countries as a remedy for cancer, gastritis, ulcers, and tuberculosis of the bones.
In 1958, scientific studies in Finland and Russia found Chaga provided an epochal effect in breast cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, and gastric cancer, as well as in hypertension and diabetes.
Herbalist David Winston maintains that it is the strongest anti-cancer medicinal mushroom. The antimutagenic action of the molecules found in the white part of birch bark where chaga feeds inhibits free-radical oxidation and also induces the production of interferons, which helps induce DNA repair.
The anti-cancer properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from chaga, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapeutic agent. Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, and it also contains the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as reishi, cordyceps, and maitake.
An adaptogen
Chaga is a premier adaptogen. Adaptogens are natural substances, found in certain plants, that increase the human body's natural resistance to physical and emotional stress, fatigue, depression and organic illness.
The concept of adaptogens was identified by Nikolai Lazarev in the early 1940’s, and later more closely defined by his protégé, Dr. Israel I. Brekhman and I. V. Dardymov. According to their criteria, which are still generally accepted today, adaptogens:
Show some nonspecific protective effect, increasing bodily resistance to physically, chemically, or biologically noxious agents or factors;
Have a normalizing influence on a pathologic state, independent of the nature of that state; and
Are non-toxic, have no side effects, and do not disturb normal body functions
In closing
By consuming chaga know that you are consuming the highest antioxidant food on the planet which will be detoxifying your body, boosting your immune system, decreasing inflammation, and also helping your body adapt to the myriad of stresses that if faces every moment of every day.
