Can You Drink Chaga Tea Every Day?

With chaga powder so readily available, its popularity has increased a lot in recent years and has become very well-known with the health and wellness industry. Available in a variety of different forms, from a fine powder to capsules, introducing these mushrooms into your daily routine has never been easier.

You’ll find the most popular way of having chaga is in a tea or coffee. Typically, people buy a blend of chaga and other beneficial mushroom powder that is said to release its benefits once added to hot or cold water. Packed with benefits to support the immune system, relief stress and anxiety. This probably explains how chaga has become so popular as it delivers such an impressive number of benefits to the body, but there is one question that continues to circulate, and that is can you drink chaga tea every day? So, stick around if you wanted to know more about the effects of having these beneficial mushrooms on a daily basis.

How often should you drink chaga?

This really boils down to personal preference and how much coffee or tea each individual consumes on a typical day. It is thought that you can have as many as 3 cups daily, however this is found based on pure chaga tea or coffee that no longer contains caffeine. Many find that weaning themselves off their normal coffee may take some weeks and should be done slowly. You’ll find in no time you are able to enjoy pure chaga powder as a great alternative to your morning hot drink.

Some have found that once they have introduced chaga into their morning coffees it is able to diminish the jittery effects that caffeine has on the body. Many also find that thanks to the ample amounts of antioxidants in chaga can also aid digestion and support the nervous system.

If you find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed or daunted by the idea of using chaga on a daily basis, avoid taking anything before seeking the advice of a medical professional or doctor.

How long can you take chaga?

Although chaga is a supplement that has be used and loved by many for centuries, there is still a great deal of lacking research understanding the full benefits of chaga. Having said this, if you find that you have been able to introduce chaga mushroom powder into your routine, without any negative side effects, you are able to continuously use chaga. As I have already mentioned, it is best to introduce chaga into your routine once you have been given the ok from your GP.

As for how long it takes to start seeing the results, if you are new to taking chaga you can expect to wait up to three weeks to see notable difference in their overall health and wellbeing.

How much chaga should you take a day?

As mentioned already, the amount of chaga taken daily can be altered to suit you and your lifestyle. With many people having up to 3 cups of chaga coffee daily, this can sometimes give you the misconception that these mushrooms can be added rapidly into your routine. To avoid any unwanted side effects, I would still suggest you introduce the powder into your diet slowly, starting with about 1-2 tablespoons a day. Bear in mind that all products and formulations vary, so always make sure you check the instructions on the packaging. 

When should you drink chaga tea?

Chaga mushrooms are a member of the group known as adaptogenic. These contain an array of health benefits that can help the body adjust to all manners of stress, from physical, chemical, and biological. It’s because of these properties that result in chaga tea needing to be consumed during specific times of the day. Here are some examples of proven ways of chaga delivering notable results to the body and improve your wellbeing.

1. In The Morning for An Energy Boost

Chaga is known for delivering an energy boost due to the adaptogenic properties stimulate your nervous system. This makes for a good alternative for those who are wanting to cut down on their daily caffeine intake as many find they suffer badly from the caffeine withdrawals and upset stomachs from having too much caffeine.

If you find you are happy with your caffeine intake, you can keep your routine but simply incorporate chaga into your coffee for an added surge of energy preparing you for the day ahead.

2. Improve Your Night’s Sleep

Although I have just suggested chaga for a boost in energy, the adaptogenic properties ensure the body is able to adapt to any exposure to stressful situations and encourage the body and nervous system to calm down. By teaming chaga with a soothing evening drink, such as chamomile tea, you will consume the perfect night-time drink that will aid a long and restful night’s sleep.

3. Drink More on Days You Are Feeling Unwell

As you know by now, chaga is a highly effective, natural immunity booster making it the perfect drink to have on days you are feeling run down or under the weather, especially during cold and flu season. Once you have established chaga in your daily routine, you can drink up to three cups of tea enriched with this powder throughout the day. With the continuous intake of antioxidants, you will help the body ward off any germs or bacteria from developing into nasty colds or flu.

Hopefully this clears things up a little and has given you a better understanding of when to use chaga throughout the day. Don’t forget to consult with a doctor should you have any concerns about introducing chaga into your routine.

How much chaga do you need for a cup of tea?

There are a variety of chaga products available so finding the best one for your routine can sometimes take some time. Adding 2 to 3 teaspoons of fine powder blend into an already brewed cup of normal tea is thought to be a favoured way. But you’ll find that there are tea blends containing chaga already in the bags which need to be left to brew for about 15 minutes. Whichever product you use, you will reap the rewards of the mushrooms and can be enjoyed in either hot or cold tea.

How does chaga tea make you feel?

We have already discussed how the adaptogenic properties of chaga can help the body reduce all types of stress. The nervous system is also calmed meaning anxiety is also reduced giving you a feeling of calm, relaxed, and tranquil. After having a chaga tea you will find that you are able to press the reset button and take control of your feelings of stress and anxiety ensuring you notice an all over improvement in your health and wellbeing.
