Likewise, Chaga is a type of medicinal mushroom that is commonly used in traditional medicine for its various health benefits. It is particularly rich in antioxidants and beta-glucans, compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Some studies have also suggested that Chaga may have anti-cancer properties and may be useful in managing diabetes and high cholesterol.
