Chaga (lat. Inonotus obliquus) is a parasite mushroom found on birch tree that looks like a burnt bark.
It grows in birch forests across northern and eastern Europe, Russia and China.
It is most commonly used in traditional Russian and Eastern European medicine.
For thousands of years people have been using chaga across Eurasia, where it had been known as "gift from God" and "queen of the plants" due to its healing properties.
Ancient Asians used it for maintaining healthy natural balance (chi), believing that this mushroom can provide them youthfulness, prolonged life and stronger immunity.
Its healing properties were documented on the oldest official list of healing substances – Chinese book Shennong Ben Cao Jing which is 2300 years old.
Chaga was dubbed “supreme plant” on that list because of its various healing properties.
Siberian chaga has become popular after its mentioning in the book “Cancer ward” by a Nobel-winning author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He wrote about his experience of surviving cancer with the help of chaga tea after he was unsuccessfully treated in many clinics.
Today, many researches are being conducted on chaga and a growing number of people start discovering its healing powers.
Chaga’s healing properties
Modern researches have shown that chaga is filled with precious biological active substances, some of which cannot be found in any other plant.
It contains phenol compounds, melamine, triterpenoids and a small percentage of a betulinic acid.
The most powerful weapon of this plant is chaga acid, which, according to Russian scientists, normalizes metabolism and has a healing properties on all organs and tissues in the human organism.
Chaga is the most powerful known antioxidant. Plants such as chokeberry and wolfberry come nowhere close to chaga when it comes to antioxidative values. Chaga is at the first place according to ORAC scale, a scale measuring antioxidant levels in food items.
Destroys malignant cells
Chaga is a natural fighter against tumor due to its betulinic acid that prevents cancer development and destroys carcinogenic cells, while not damaging healthy ones.
It is useful against breast, ovary, cervix, prostate, lung, stomach, spleen, brain and thymus cancers and leukemia, melanoma and lymphoma.
Chaga destroys deformed cells with its anti-inflammatory effect and apoptosis mechanism.
It is useful as a supplement to conventional chemotherapy medicines since it alleviates chemotherapy side effects and strengthens immunity.
Natural adaptogen
Chaga is a powerful adaptogen, which means it is effective against the stress which causes 90% of all diseases.
Soviet government once ordered Soviet athletes and astronauts to use adaptogenes for enhancement of physical and mental abilities.
One of those adaptogenes was chaga, which proved to be the most effective.
Protects joints and blood vessels
Russian scientists managed to make chaga balms for joints and blood vessels. They have developed a system of microcapsules that allow chaga ingredients to easily penetrate the skin and take effect directly in the joint, in the centre of the disease.
Those balms alleviate pains, stop muscle spasms, enhance salt and toxin excretion from joints, stops their aging processes and destruction of cartilage tissue.
Reports from a clinic in Vladivostok mention 100% healing in cases of psoriasis, which is rarely achieved with that disease.
Active components in chaga have the following effects:
- antioxidative
- anti-carcinogenic
- anti-tumor
- anti-viral
- immune-stimulative
- analgesic
- anti-inflammatory
Chaga concoctions
Generally, chaga is grinded into a powder and is made into a beverage similar to coffee or tea, or you can apply in a form of a tincture.
Regular chaga tea consumption protects against stress, permanently increases organism immunity towards diseases and ensures organism longevity.
Peoples of Siberia drink it regularly, which is maybe the key to their longevity.
You can purchase chaga on the internet in a form of powder or already made tincture. Make sure you purchase organic wild chaga, which is devoid of all pesticides.
Most of this information is just a tip of the iceberg since researches on this healing mushroom are just starting. We are sure that future researches will discover additional wonderful healing properties of chaga.
