This Wellness Tea Brew (Mashkiki), has antioxidants and immune boosting properties and may support gut health, while calming the mind, promoting sleep and reducing stress.
Mashkiki means medicine in the Anishinaabemowin language (Chippewa/ Objibwa). While the word literally refers to medicine, its meaning is expansive, encompassing herbal remedies, spiritual practices, and even people.
Several First Nations cultures, including the Cree, Anishinaabe, and Gitksan, have traditionally used chaga mushrooms for medicinal purposes. Its potential health benefits, cultural significance, and spiritual connections make it a valuable part of traditional medicine and a reminder of the deep connections between people and the natural world.
