Please Note: As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have recently switched from tins to biodegradable bags in our packaging. Sourcing tins has become challenging, especially in the post-COVID period. Our new bags are designed to be airtight, ensuring the freshness and flavors of our teas last longer. We apologize for any confusion caused by the difference between the product photos and the packaging you receive. Our website's photos will be updated soon to reflect this change. This adjustment allows us to deliver exceptional quality while reducing our environmental impact. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this sustainability journey together. The Story I was in the woods harvesting morel mushrooms almost 10 years ago. And I was a bit lost on my way back out, so I took a short cut and looked up before I almost ran into a birch  tree. And there it was. Sheer beauty, a  black crusted clump on a tree as if the birch tree had been stamped with Mother Earth's seal of approval. I had to find out what it was. I was excited and out of breath as I ran back to my car a 1/4 mile away. I went home and identified it as Chaga Mushroom (Latin: Inonotus obliquus, Ojibwe: Skitagaan). I went back out to harvest it and that was the beginning of almost a decade of harvesting this wonderful medicine. Oh the adventures we could share.  Chaga Mushroom is a wild mushroom hot tea drink harvested sustainable from wild white Birch tree in pure Midwest and Ontario Forests by or under the direction  Herbal Lodge Owner Nathan Wright a certified mushroom expert. Our name of Chaga Thunder came from several birch trees stuck by lighten. As a Native American I have great respect and reverence for such things. I had to leave it, and let it continue to grow. I am sure it stays where I left it hidden in the woods. Awaiting the next bolt of life force. I found this to be the center of the area we harvest from.  We go there often  and make offerings for our harvests. May I share our blessings and invite you to enjoy a wonderful cup? Maintains More than 1600 studies by various sources have demonstrated the medicinal effects of the Chaga Mushroom for various conditions.

What You Should Know About Chaga Thunder Mushroom Tea Sourced from the heart of nature, our Chaga Thunder Mushroom Tea honors the essence of pure, wild-harvested chaga mushrooms.  Traditionally used by Native American tribes like the Ojibwe for a myriad of wellness benefits, Chaga mushroom tea has a long history of versatile medical use. With potential benefits ranging from enhanced vitality and disease prevention to immune support and digestion relief, chaga mushroom tea is an effective alternative for an array of holistic wellness needs!  Typically found on birch trees in colder climates, this slow-growing and nutrient-rich mushroom takes on the appearance of a clump of burnt charcoal. Harvested by hand at the peak of the season, we carefully remove sections of the mushroom without damaging the trees or overharvesting Chaga. By replicating these time-tested Native American harvesting practices, we preserve the integrity of this rare species while simultaneously offering our customers the purest mushrooms that nature has to offer. Despite its odd appearance, this healthful mushroom offers a smooth and delightful tea-sipping experience. Its mildly earthy and bitter tones are balanced by the naturally-occurring vanillin (the same as a vanilla bean) found in Chaga, making this a wonderful daily tea that’s equally great for you!  Benefits of Chaga Mushrooms  According to numerous subjective experiences and ongoing research regarding the efficacy of pure Chaga mushroom tea, the potential benefits of this rich tea are incredibly promising.  Chaga tea may provide:  Oxidative protection: Chaga tea’s potent antioxidant profile aids the body in the fight against oxidative stress. As a result, Chaga tea may help in reducing inflammation and other health issues caused by free radicals.  Improved stress hormone regulation: The adaptogenic qualities of Chaga may assist in balancing stress hormone levels, which can help the body adapt to both physical and emotional stressors with greater resilience. Boosted vitality: Chaga contains B vitamins and other nutrients that provide a mild energetic lift without any unwanted jitters or crashes. Enhanced immune response: Chaga contains compounds that are known to stimulate and regulate our body’s defenses, resulting in a healthful immune boost with every sip.

Other potential benefits: Reduced LDL cholesterol levels, cancer prevention, heart health, and all-around wellness from the essential nutrients, minerals, and amino acids found in Chaga tea are all possible benefits. Despite the promising potential of Chaga and tea for nerve pain, it’s important to note that these tea claims are based on subjective experience and ongoing research. You should always conduct your own research/consult with a physician before trying Chaga mushroom tea or any other natural product.  If you would like to learn more about our wild harvesting practices or the many ways you can integrate the goodness of Chaga tea into your routine, reach out to our experts for helpful information today!

Minagin Natural Pain Relief Salve: A Powerful, All-Natural Solution with a Legacy of Relief Minagin Natural Pain Relief Salve, the pinnacle of Anti-Inflammatory Relief, stands as a testament to the enduring power of Indigenous wisdom and modern science. This revolutionary product is rooted in the rich tradition of the Anishinabek people, who have relied on Balsam Poplar for thousands of years to address a wide array of ailments, including chronic pain and inflammation. With its potent blend of therapeutic properties, Minagin combines ancient knowledge with cutting-edge research to deliver unparalleled relief.  Harnessing the Power of Balsam Poplar At the heart of Minagin lies Balsam Poplar, an extraordinary and relatively unknown natural ingredient packed with powerful anti-inflammatory compounds such as salicylates, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. These compounds work synergistically to inhibit COX-2 enzymes and modulate NF-κB pathways, two critical inflammatory pathways linked to chronic pain, arthritis, and other debilitating conditions. Studies confirm the efficacy of Balsam Poplar in reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and addressing pain at its source. Scientific studies and traditional knowledge alike support the effectiveness of Balsam poplar buds in addressing these inflammation-related conditions. Research shows that compounds such as P-coumaric acid—the predominant phenolic acid found in Balsam poplar—have powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which make Minagin particularly effective for reducing pain and swelling in affected areas.With the inclusion of Balsam poplar and other natural herbs, the salve offers a holistic solution that works with your body’s natural healing processes. Whether used for chronic conditions or acute injuries, the anti-inflammatory effects of Minagin support not only pain reduction but also healing and recovery. As a result, Minagin has the potential to support relief from a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to: Muscle and joint pain (including strains, sprains, and arthritis) Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis Chronic back pain Neck and shoulder pain Post-surgical pain Tendonitis and bursitis Carpal tunnel syndrome Sports injuries (such as ligament injuries or bruising) Inflammation-related skin conditions (such as eczema or psoriasis) Gout Chronic pain Targeted Topical Application for Immediate Relief Minagin is designed as a topical salve, which means that it can be applied directly to the area of pain or inflammation. This targeted approach allows for quicker, more effective relief by delivering compounds directly where they're needed, reducing systemic side effects often associated with oral medications. Topical applications can work faster to soothe sore muscles, joint pain, and localized inflammation than taking oral pain relief, especially for chronic conditions. Our salves generally works within ten minutes after application.  Best Choice for Natural Pain Relief Compared to other popular remedies like Tiger Balm, or even the popular natural pain relief ingredient Arnica, Minagin stands out as the superior choice. Unlike products that rely on synthetic ingredients like petroleum, Minagin is crafted with all-natural, sustainable components, including hand-harvested Balsam Poplar buds, Calendula flowers, St. John’s Wort, Beeswax, and more. Its meticulously formulated blend ensures the highest potency and safety, setting it apart as a truly unique and unmatched solution for those seeking effective pain relief. Sustainably Sourced and Indigenous-Inspired Balsam poplar bud comes from a tree and has deep ties to Indigenous traditions. Our traditional Indigenous knowledge guides how we harvest the balsam poplar buds. Using our time-honored knowledge, we assess the micro-climates and harvest the buds at their peak, ensuring the highest potency.  We unlock the medicine within the buds through precise temperature, timing, and maceration techniques. No one else knows these techniques. The result is a balsam poplar salve that is unmatched in potency and consistency. Our herbal medicines we harvest from the Great Lakes region imbues the plants and herbal medicine that grow here with greater potency compared to other locations, enhancing the effectiveness of our products. Proven Effectiveness Unlike many over-the-counter medications that come with a host of side effects, Minagin Salve provides natural relief without the risks of addiction, digestive upset, or long-term damage often associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It’s an ideal alternative for those seeking a safer and more gentle approach to pain relief. Do not use if allergic to aspirin.

Scent I like to call it the sweet smell of spring because it reminds me of the fresh, soothing aroma by lakes and rivers during springtime in Northern Michigan, carried by the budding trees.

These are similar to neurons which is one of the main uses of this amazing tree.  References [1] https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-974/larch-arabinogalactan[2] http://www.nativetech.org/willow/tamarack/tamarack.htmlThis product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The Best Herbal Tea for Nerve Pain All wild-harvested teas at Herbal Lodge are backed by our commitment to sustainability, integrity, and over 1,000 years of Native American wisdom. We are determined to help our communities find healthier solutions to their modern problems, and bark tea is one of our best natural remedies! Among the most complex subjects in the realm of pain, neuropathy and related nervous system disorders can arise from a multitude of internal and external factors. Unlike nociceptive pain that results from tissue damage or inflammation, neuropathic pain can be harder to pinpoint and treat. Unfortunately, many individuals suffering from neuropathy and other nervous-system-related pain conditions are poorly supported by modern medicine. While there will always be a place for interventions such as physical therapy and certain pharmaceuticals, many nervous system pains can greatly benefit from a more natural approach to sustainable nerve pain relief. Especially when facing nerve pain issues that may be untreatable or require a lifetime of medication, natural products that provide noticeable relief can be a great way to reduce medication dependence and other costly pain management strategies. From skeletal and joint issues that impede nerve function to conditions like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and infections that can damage nerve cells, the causes of nerve pain are rarely solved by a single pain management plan. Since nerve pain can arise from such varied causes, it is essential to consider nerve pain remedies that promote holistic wellness. What Medical Conditions Does Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea Support?

The Story Nojmuk (No-ja-muk) means, "you all heal" in Ojibwe, which is accurate as it helps maintain and repair many types of skin conditions. We use 20 different herbs while most other salves or even skin lotion use less than five. Our ingredients are 100% natural. And our salve really does work to nourish, protect and bring your skin back to its healthy appearance. Nojmuk relieves dry, cracked, chapped skin and stops itching on contact. I suggest you try some.  Especially if you have one of these conditions: Maintains • Eczema• Cracked hands and feet• Psoriasis• Bug Bites• Rashes• And More.
