I received some chaga from Toddy of this parish and have felt so much better after taking it for a few days, so have been playing around with different combinations then I remembered that I had Turmeric root in the freezer and decided to simmer them both in milk it had a earthy look and flavor but not unpleasant Has anyone tried turmeric drinks and did you get any noticeable results? here is recipe I found

Turmeric-Ginger Tea Serves 1 1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Splash of milk or soy milk
Honey or maple syrup, to taste
In a small saucepan, bring water to boil. Add turmeric and ginger, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in milk and strain tea into a cup. Add sweetener to taste.

I suffer from bouts of IBS which has gone my body feels invigorated I have more energy and a clarity of thought, I also feel very calm not jittery at all on top of that my joint pains have eased this may partially due to the meadow sweet oil but even muscles I have not treated seem better.

Try fresh fennel - just the fronds from the plant. No need to make tea, you can just chew it and the oils are absorbed in your mouth. Has a fairly miraculous effect on settling digestion.

WHY chaga Guys?

My wife has osteoarthritis affecting her knees & back, & tendinitis in her ankles & I have constant pain from planters affecting my feet & heels.

I am thinking as an anti inflammatory, could the properties of Chaga be beneficial to both me & my Missus?

whats the deal Guys?.

I've read Consultation of a gp is advisable before taking chaga...

What say you Guys?

As far as I know there are no side effects from either Chaga or Turmeric but the health given effects are huge try it in small amounts and see how you get on, I suffer from bouts of IBS which is in remission at the moment since taken the chaga, I also suffer from joint pain after years of practicing and teaching martial arts which at the moment is bearable this might be due to the meadow sweet im not sure.
I got given some chaga from a very kind person on here and if you want to try some I will happily sent you a piece for free unfortunately I don't have anymore fresh Turmeric root but I could get you some in the near future if you think it may help.
