What Is Chaga

According to recent scientific and medical research, "mushrooms may be champion disease fighters and even help chronic degenerative disease". Certain mushrooms are now touted by many experts to have numerous health benefits including lowering cholesterol, purifying the blood, providing antioxidants, slow down the aging process and boosting immunity.

One of the best and most powerful of all the medicinal mushrooms is a rare, precious medicinal mushroom called Chaga. With a mystical history, Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) has been referred to for centuries as the 'King of Herbs". Siberian Chaga contains significantly more antioxidants than any other medicinal fungi or mushroom.

"Anti-biotics" such as Penicillin, which fight many types of infections caused by pathogens were derived from "fungi" that is considered a distant cousin of Chaga. This botanical family of fungi also have powerful nutrients to maintain our health and immunity.

For centuries, Chaga has been revered for its life enhancing properties It is used in Asia for the treatment of some forms of tumors, common stomach ailments and digestive disorders, as well as many viral and bacterial concerns. As a folk medicine, Chaga was ingested by the local people of the Siberian mountain regions in tea or powder form, inhaled from smoke, and applied to the skin for healing of injury or rash. Indigenous people from that area had low incidence of degenerative diseases including cancers and have been documented to live beyond 100 years of age.

For millennia, Ancient Medical Masters, documented and revered medicinal mushrooms as the superior "King of Herbs" for creating "Chi" or life-energy balance, the key to general health, healing, and longevity. They often brewed Chaga tea from crushed granules as a remedy for sickness and for the overall balancing of the body's immune system. Today, Chaga is wildly touted and sought after throughout Asia as a "cure-all" and potent immune booster.

Chaga, is a polypore fungus (Polyporaceae or Gym enochaetaceae family), which grows on birch trees. The fungus produces a black perennial woody growth called a "conk" and is a member of the Basidiomycetes (true mushrooms). Chaga contains an extraordinary amount of phyto-nutrients such as beta glucans, (a unique family of sugars called polysaccharides), special chemicals such as betulinic acid, (which shows promise for certain types of cancer), special pigments including melanins, antiviral compounds, amino acids and nucleosides.

Because of its irregular shape and the way it is harvested, until now Chaga has generally been sold as dried, cut pieces of varying size. To find high potency Chaga, it can only be harvested in the wild. Many attempts to grow Chaga under commercial harvesting techniques have failed to reproduce the viable potency and quality.

Unlike most mushrooms, Chaga is a polypore, a fungus with pores instead of gills. It has the outward appearance of a black, irregular, cracked mass, grows on tree trunks and is most often sterile. As Chaga becomes known to the Western world, it is now being artificially cultivated and often extracted in alcohol tinctures. The purest and most potent Chaga is not cultivated but rather "wild-crafted", or grown naturally in the wild.

Siberian Chaga, naturally found in the birch forests of the Siberian mountain regions, is the most potent of all the varieties of mushrooms. Chaga is a symbiotic fungus that enters a wound on a mature tree then grows under the bark until it blisters through the bark forming a grotesque black charcoal-like conk on the tree trunk; hence the Latin epithet "Obliquus". The Chaga conk grows with the tree over a 5 to 7 year period, thriving in the harsh Siberian winter environments, absorbing life-sustaining nutrients from the birch tree, until the conk flower fully ripens, falling to the forest floor, followed shortly by the death of the host tree, completing a 20 year micro-ecological cycle.

This superior grade of Chaga is harvested once every 20 years from selective birch trees. Out of 10,000 aged trees, perhaps only 2 or 3 will have Chaga growth. Birch trees make the most acceptable host for the symbiotic relationship between Chaga and birch tree.

Then out of 100 birch trees harvested for Chaga only 2-3 receive the designation and certification of "superior grade" Chaga. Siberian Chaga is harvested under contract provided by the province of Siberia and the Russian Health Ministry. Now, exclusively through Chaga International, a superior grade extract of the most revered natural healer's mushrooms has been created and made available to the global marketplace.

History Of Chaga

For thousands of years, Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) has been revered throughout the known world (Eurasia), where it has been referred to as a precious "Gift from God" and nature's "King of Herbs". Documented back well before the time of Christ, ancient Asian folk medicine practitioners relied upon Chaga, a medicinal mushroom, to maintain a healthy life energy balance ("Chi"), preserve youth, promote longevity, and boost the body's immune system to fight viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic maladies. As a folk medicine, Chaga was ingested by the local people of the Siberian mountain regions in tea or powder form, inhaled from smoke as a remedy for lung and respiratory disorders, and applied to the skin for healing of injury or rash. Indigenous people from that area had low incidence of chronic diseases, including cancer, and have been documented to live beyond 100 years of age.

Documented in the first recorded oriental medicinal book "The Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" in 100 B.C., the Chinese Monk Shen Nong proclaimed Chaga as a superior class medicinal herb, because of its diverse and complete medicinal properties. The entry reads "A Precious Gift of Nature" and "The King of the Herbs". His work Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, was the first of the three ancient medical books that serve as the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have applied Chaga as a remedy for human viral diseases including influenza, lung afflictions, anti-inflammatory treatment of stomach disorders, the arrest and reversal of chronic degenerative conditions, balancing the endocrine system as an anti-oxidant to detoxify the body, and as a daily supplement for the overall balancing of the body's immune system and increasing longevity.

Historically, some Russians drank Chaga as a daily beverage just as we do coffee or tea. It has been found that there is a dramatically lower incidence of chronic degenerative disease among these groups. These people were unknowingly taking a preventive medicine while enjoying a cup of tasty and inexpensive tea. Today, Chaga tea is commonly used in Russian cultures as a family cupboard remedy to support a healthy immune system.

Early Russian culture embraced the medicinal use of Siberian Chaga, and its use has spread westward to the Urals and Baltic regions of the European continent. In the 12th Century Tzar Vladimir Monamah was treated with Chaga (for symptoms most probably of lip cancer).

Siberian Chaga, received acclaim and notice by the Western world when Nobel Prize winning Russian novelist Alexandr Solzenitsyn introduced it in his 1968 novel about cancer patients. In The Cancer Ward, he talks about the medicinal tea from the birch tree mushroom and its curative powers against cancer. This novel is largely autobiographical since the author himself was a Chaga tea user and cancer ward patient. After being told his cancer was terminal and inoperative, Solzhenitsyn, was awed by the healing powers of Chaga to treat cancer during the 1950s in his investigative research of patient treatment in provincial Siberia. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn survived and credits Chaga with curing his cancer.

According to thousands of years of testing in Traditional Chinese Medicine, medicinal mushrooms including Chaga, can preserve youth and increase longevity, improve health, and boost life energy or "Chi." The biochemistry of these mushrooms is complex and is still being studied. After 40 years of research, the publication of over a thousand clinical, in vivo and in vitro studies, research science is only beginning to understand the healing properties of these medicinal mushrooms.

In 1982, Mr. J. T. Osugi, an expert chemist and industrial engineer, immigrated to the Asian Continent to guide developing nations in the design and construction of water purification and reclamation systems. While there, he sought acceptance by a Qigong Master to study Acupuncture and the art of Chi, inlcuding its underlying principle that a balanced body is impenetrable to harmful viruses or disease. At the end of the fifth year of study, the Qigong Master offered his dying words to Mr. Osugi: "I will be departing upon a spiritual journey. You will receive a precious gift in your midlife - you have the responsibility to use it wisely".

Twenty years later, Mr. Osugi, trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, traveled to the Mountain regions of Siberia, where he found local people harvesting and using the legendary Chaga mushroom to protect themselves from illness, disease, and the effects of aging. Observing the lifestyle and longevity of the villagers, Mr. Osugi recognized Siberian Chaga as the "precious gift" prophesized by the Qigong Master.

Mr. Osugi then dedicated his professional efforts to bring Siberian Chaga to the global community so that everyone can benefit from the healing powers of Chaga.
