Since ancient times, knowledgeable people go to birch groves for an unusual mushroom hunt, armed with ... an ax. They are looking for amazing mushrooms here, which do not grow at the roots of trees, but on their trunks and have great healing power. Black birch fungus chaga is a unique creation of nature, not without reason our ancestors endowed it with magical properties and considered it a cure for all diseases.
The mushroom kingdom unites up to one and a half million of these amazing works of nature - of them, approximately every ninth species is endowed with healing qualities. But the properties of most of them are still too little studied for their practical application to become truly effective and safe.
In Eastern medicine, the ancient science of mushroom treatment has received a rebirth in recent years and is gaining wide popularity. Exotic mushrooms from China, Japan, Korea are very expensive, and their healing power is often exaggerated by advertising. In addition, more and more scammers appear on the market offering fakes that have nothing to do with medicinal mushrooms.
Chaga birch fungus is widely distributed in natural birch forests and deciduous plantings: it is not difficult to find this miracle of nature, and even easier - buy it at a pharmacy. Since ancient times, people have successfully used the healing properties of this strange mushroom, which was respectfully mentioned in their treatises by almost all the legendary healers of antiquity.
From the annals of the 11th century, the story of the healing of Vladimir Monomakh himself is known for certain - the great formidable prince was cured of a tumor on his lip with the help of a decoction of ordinary birch chaga.
Chaga is popularly known by many nicknames that traditionally exist in various areas where this fungus is distributed:
The distribution area of the black birch fungus is very wide - throughout the northern hemisphere, in the forest and forest-steppe. But chaga does not settle everywhere - it prefers those birch forests that grow in damp and quiet lowlands protected from strong winds. Or, on the contrary, it appears where a small fire has passed through a birch grove, and after it the trees have just begun to come to their senses. Young mushrooms can also be seen in the cracks that appear on the bark after severe frosts.
It should not be confused with chaga influxes (growths), which are often formed on birch trunks. These are not mushrooms at all, but simply wood that has changed under the influence of various factors. Such influxes can develop for decades without causing any particular harm to the tree, and with chaga, the birch usually dries out in just a few years.
Varieties of chaga are distinguished by the tree on which the fungus grows. And he settles on many hardwoods, for example, on beeches, mountain ash, aspen, alder. But only birch chaga is really useful.
Not all chaga grows on a birch, and not every chaga grows on a birch. A fairly large number of species of fungi take root on tree trunks - mainly tinder fungi. And, of course, not every one of them is medicinal.
The black birch fungus is completely different from its fellow tinder fungus, and still they are often confused. However, it is enough to cut it off the trunk at least once and hold the chaga in your hands in order to never again make a mistake in its definition.
Chaga, unlike tinder fungus, grows so deeply and firmly into the wood that it is impossible to simply break off, pick the mushroom - just cut it off with a sharp knife. In the place of fusion with the trunk, the chaga does not have a soft spongy layer.
The beveled tinder fungus looks very much like chaga
Birch tinder usually grows on the trunks of dead birches.
The tinder fungus never grows on live trunks.
The real tinder fungus very quickly destroys the trees on which it grows
Polypore mutable - non-poisonous, but hard and therefore tasteless
The bristly tinder fungus is edible at a young age.
Leafy polypore can grow up to ten kilograms in a week
The sulfur-yellow tinder fungus has a smell of lemon
The tinder scaly is also called the pest or hare
Young caps of the winter tinder fungus are edible
The “magic” effect of chaga is that its rich complex of biologically active compounds is able to repeatedly accelerate redox reactions at the cellular level, literally resuscitating individual failed organs and stimulating the work of the body as a whole.
What is included in the composition of the chaga? A plain-looking birch mushroom contains the most valuable and diverse set of useful substances, including rare and even unique components:
There are exclusive “fighters” in chaga preparations, for example, a unique chaga acid, which is considered the main active component of this fungus.
The result of the coordinated action of the active components of the black birch fungus is a wide range of its healing qualities:
Restoring the structure of a healthy cell, chaga primarily acts as a natural biostimulant, has a beneficial effect on brain function and the activity of nerve fibers. In addition, the secretion of the digestive system and the production of enzymes are improved, the level of pressure and blood glucose levels are normalized.
The antitumor properties of the tinder fungus have been known for a very long time and have been successfully used by traditional healers. The first scientific confirmation of these qualities of chaga was received in the nineteenth century thanks to the research and practice of Dr. E. Froben and the works of A. Fruht. Doctors described specific cases of healing from oncological tumors of the glands: parotid and submandibular. Recently, the study of the possibilities of chaga for the treatment of oncology has noticeably intensified.
Chaga grows not only on living, but also on already dead trees - but such mushrooms are not suitable for medicinal purposes. You should not collect too old, rotten, easily crumbling specimens in your hands - there is practically no use left in them.
Perennial birch fungus can be harvested at any time of the year, but medicinal raw materials harvested in spring and autumn are most valued, when the concentration of nutrients in it is highest.
Each traditional healer has his own rules and secrets of collecting chaga. Here is some of them:
It makes sense to do the primary processing of freshly harvested chaga right in the forest - so as not to carry excess weight home. To do this, you need to clean it of bark, debris, and also throw away the inner, lightest part of the fungus - this is ballast with zero benefit.
The most valuable are the hard outer layers of the birch fungus. They are usually cracked and black, as if charred.
The prepared chaga is broken into small pieces with a hammer and dried thoroughly. It, like any mushroom, easily becomes moldy, so it is better to speed up the process as much as possible - spend it in the oven or electric dryer. In a natural way, you need to dry the chaga in a room that is well ventilated and not subject to humidity. Completely dried raw materials are stored in tightly sealed glass jars for no longer than two years. Dry mushroom ground into powder is stored in the same way.
Chaga itself is fresh. To make drinks from it taste good, add aromatic herbs that you like: thyme, mint, valerian root, etc. It is very important to use high-quality water for preparations: purified or filtered. Ordinary tap water must be boiled first.
From a chaga purchased at a pharmacy or self-assembled, you can easily prepare a variety of drugs with a powerful therapeutic effect.
Some laborious preparation of this drug is more than compensated for by its usefulness - in such an infusion, all the useful substances of the birch fungus are extracted in the best way. It is important to strictly adhere to the temperature regime so that the product is not too hot or does not ferment during the infusion process.

For those who want to lose weight, and at the same time improve their health and appearance, chaga is simply irreplaceable. Infusions of birch fungus stimulate natural metabolic processes, freeing the body from toxic deposits, and include self-regulation mechanisms. As a result, kilograms go away painlessly and safely.
A weight loss course with chaga should last no more than three weeks and be repeated no more than twice a year.
Preparations based on chaga are well excreted from the body and do not have the property of accumulating in it. They very rarely provoke allergic reactions and other side effects. However, the use of this folk remedy requires some caution.
Unequivocal contraindications for treatment with chaga preparations are:
Preparations based on birch fungus are too active. Their use can result in unpredictable consequences during the period of expectation of a child and breastfeeding. The effect of chaga on the children's body has not been studied either, so it is better not to give this folk remedy to a child of preschool age. And children under the age of fourteen can receive chaga preparations only under the supervision of a pediatrician.
At the time of taking the black birch fungus, it is advisable to completely abandon the use of strong alcohol and at least limit the consumption of nicotine, remove from your diet products that are harmful and difficult for the body to perceive.
Nature pleases humanity with the formation and growth of natural ingredients, which are often used in the treatment of quite serious diseases. Chaga mushroom, useful properties and application which is distributed in the treatment of cancer, can be found on old birch trees.
Medicines are made from this peculiar mushroom, used in folk medicine. Why is birch chaga useful? Does this unusual composition have contraindications?
Properties of birch chaga strikes the imagination. Before delving into the consideration of the presented issue, it is necessary to fully analyze the composition of a unique product.
So, when studying this formation on a birch trunk, scientists revealed the content of the following useful components and trace elements:
What does chaga birch fungus treat? Due to its rich composition, it is used in the treatment of diseases such as:
Listed List health benefits of chaga mushroom you can go on.
If we consider this product as an integral component for the manufacture of medicines, then its beneficial effect on the body is of a general strengthening nature. Many experts advise their patients to use medicines based on chaga mushroom because it can:
Despite a wide range of beneficial properties for the human body, chaga has contraindications. Therefore, the use of any drug or homemade infusion based on this fungus should be discussed with the doctor.
He must conduct the necessary examination and identify diseases in which treatment with a fungus is prohibited.
Birch mushroom chaga, useful properties and contraindications which should be analyzed in detail, is not so useful and is prohibited from use as a treatment in the presence of any diseases.
For example, if you are diagnosed chronic colitis or chronic dysentery, the use of chaga should be completely banned.
In addition, the use of chaga in the treatment of any disease, which provides for the consumption of a prepared composition, is prohibited for people with an unpleasant manifestation, such as fluid retention in the body. The cause of this disease can be various diseases of the kidneys or blood vessels - it does not matter.
If you suffer from edema, then you can not use the mushroom. Pregnant women fall into the same group of people, since swelling in the later stages is a completely natural phenomenon.
However, experts prohibit the use of the described product, because its effect on the body during pregnancy has not been studied.
There are also some precautions in the treatment of chaga. In the case of consumption of antibiotics or intravenous administration of glucose into the human body, the beneficial effects of chaga will be significantly reduced or completely lost. The use of drugs based on the fungus will be ineffective.
Chaga in oncology is used almost constantly. O beneficial properties of the mushroom doctors themselves say, although they do not recommend relying entirely on the effectiveness of this remedy.
Firstly, it is impossible to completely cure cancers with this natural product.
Secondly, any application of the presented component occurs only after consulting a doctor. Before use and during the process, the cancer patient must undergo appropriate examinations so that the situation does not “get out of control”, and, if necessary, measures are taken.
Compositions based on chaga help the patient to more easily tolerate his disease. Here are some useful features such as:
Here they use infusions and tinctures, decoctions. When a cancerous tumor is located in the intestines or uterus, patients are recommended to carry out enemas or douching with an infusion of chaga. The procedure is carried out for a month daily at night.
Then they take a break for a week. At this time, it is recommended to undergo an appropriate examination to find out the effect of the natural product.
For example, an overgrown mole in melanoma can lead to the formation of metastases within a short period of time. Given that such manifestations in the initial stages of development are quite successful in curing, then progressive melanoma leaves a person with practically no chance.
To prevent its further development and adverse effects on the body, a person is recommended to use an ointment based on chaga mushroom. According to numerous patient reviews, the composition helped prevent further growth and spread of cancer cells.
As a result, the surgical intervention to remove the malignant neoplasm on the skin was successful and completely cured the oncology.
Chaga mushroom and its medicinal uses can be carried out in various ways. Some people prefer to use ready-made medicines that contain this unique product.
But others, supporters of traditional medicine, prepare it in advance, so that later, if a certain ailment occurs, they can prepare a decoction, infusion or ointment for treatment. About the features of the workpiece should be discussed in more detail.
When to collect chaga? Scientists say that mushroom picking from birch trees can be carried out at any time of the year. However, manufacturers do this at a time when there are still or no leaves on the birch. It's convenient because chaga at the bottom of a tree trunk cannot be collected- it does not have those useful properties and components that are necessary in the treatment, and collecting the mushroom on the crowns during the period of active leaf growth causes certain inconveniences.
It should also be noted that experts recommend picking the mushroom exactly from bare wood, because at this time it contains a greater amount of useful trace elements and chemicals.
With the help of an ax, a natural growth is separated from the tree at the very trunk. It is cleaned of wood and the inner loose part - it cannot be used.
As a result, usable outgrowths have a dense structure, in which, in the context three layers are clearly visible: outer- black and all in cracks, average- brown with a granular structure at the break, interior- loose.
The resulting piece of mushroom is divided into parts with sides of about 3-4 cm, and cleaned in a dry, ventilated room so that the chaga does not become damp and moldy.
It should be remembered that the beneficial properties of the natural component are stored only for three months, so its further storage and use is not recommended. Otherwise, you will only make the situation worse.
We have already discussed how to harvest raw materials, now we should analyze in more detail the question of its use. How to prepare and take chaga depends on the nature of the disease and the degree of its development.
Only a doctor can tell you more about the methods of application in a particular case. Under no circumstances should self-treatment be taken, since this component has a strong effect on the human body. If you do not follow the recommendations, you can only harm yourself.
Chaga is brewed in completely different ways, depending on the type of composition - infusion, decoction or regular tea. Here, experts note that it is extremely important to observe all proportions in the manufacture, and it is also important instructions for use.
So,
Should be considered preparation of infusion, which is used to treat various diseases, including its use for enemas and douches. For cooking use dried mushroom, but pre-soaked for 5 hours in boiled warm water. It should not be poured out.
The soaked component is rubbed on a grater and part of the composition is poured with boiled water at a temperature of about 60-70 ° C in porcelain or ceramic dishes. Keep the proportion: one part of the crushed composition accounts for five parts of the liquid.
Leave to infuse for a day or two. Then strain the infusion through cheesecloth. In a transparent liquid composition, add the water that remains from the soaking of the mushroom. The result is a pleasant-looking infusion, the color of which is similar to ordinary black tea. It tastes like a sweetish liquid without a characteristic odor.
You can take this infusion inside half an hour before meals in the amount of one glass. Drink 3-4 glasses per day. The prepared infusion can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 4 days. Before use, the composition should be heated.
Treatment with chaga is carried out for 5-7 months. Then a week or two-week break is made and the course of admission is resumed.
Decoctions with the use of a mushroom for the treatment of oncology should be prescribed by a doctor. He also gives a valid list of components and a recipe that should be used to treat a particular disease. An example is a recipe for preparing a decoction for the treatment of stomach cancer. Here are used:
All components are thoroughly mixed and soaked for 2 hours with well water in an amount of 3 liters. After the time has elapsed, the composition is placed in a saucepan on a small fire and boiled for 2 hours. Remove the pan from the heat, wrap it with a blanket and put it away for a day in heat.
After all the manipulations, the broth is filtered and 200 g of aloe are added to it ( plant not older than 5 years, previously three days without moisture) and a pound of honey. The whole composition is thoroughly mixed and left for another 4 hours.
After settling, it can be taken according to the scheme:
Such treatment should be extended up to 4 months, but only under the close supervision of the attending physician.
Make your own tincture using mushroom and vodka. 600 g of an alcoholic drink is poured into dried and chopped mushroom in an amount of 100 g. Mix everything thoroughly and put it away for three weeks in a dark place. Shake the composition periodically.
After the time has elapsed, strain the tincture and pour into any dark vessel. Keep it in the refrigerator. Use as a rub or by mouth a teaspoon before meals three times a day.
An oily solution of the fungus is used for external use. It allows you to cure:
So, tea is useful for:
Chaga tea can be consumed with honey or just add a little sugar to it. It all depends on taste preferences, so you can experiment a little, but do not go beyond what is permitted - you should not mix additional herbs and other natural ingredients into tea.
As for the contraindications to the use of mushroom tea, here we should mention individual intolerance.
For example, if you drink a mug of this delicious drink and feel unwell or see an allergic reaction in yourself, you should not re-consume. Contraindications include those diseases that were described above.
Chaga mushroom is certainly a useful natural manifestation, but even it has some negative points.
Excessive consumption or failure to follow the proportions and instructions for use can lead to side effects: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headache. Therefore, before using it, you should consult a specialist.

The thing is that the fungus, germinating on the trunk of a tree, absorbs all the beneficial substances of the host and feeds on them. The fungus enters the birch through microdamages, and once fixed, it turns into an ugly black growth on the bark. By the way, having settled on a healthy tree, the fungus grows on it for no more than 12 years, after which time the tree inevitably dies.
Experienced people advise collecting chaga from large healthy trees. It is considered the most useful, as it is saturated with a mass of microelements from living birch. Chaga on stumps and dry trees does not have the desired effect.
Most importantly, in no case do not confuse chaga with a common tinder fungus. To many, with the phrase: a growth on a tree trunk, it is he who comes to mind. The tinder fungus, of course, also has some useful properties, but today we are not talking about it.
After scientists showed interest in this organism and conducted research (it is worth noting that it is rather superficial and chaga has not yet been fully studied), it became a little clear what composition the fungus has and why it is useful for humans.
As you can see, the chemical composition of the body is very diverse and, if used correctly, chaga will be an excellent adjuvant in the treatment of various diseases.
Birch fungus has gained recognition in various fields of medicine. Due to its incredible composition, this organism has a simply stunning effect on the human body. It not only has a general strengthening effect, but also normalizes the functioning of internal organs.
In modern medicine, chaga is most often used in the form of a decoction. But there are also ointments based on it. The decoction can affect the following ailments.
The topic of our article: Chaga medicinal properties and contraindications. As you can see from the above, the mushroom has a huge positive effect on the human body. But it should be understood that only a decoction of chaga can be used only for prevention purposes. For a complete treatment, the mushroom only complements the main plan.
As for contraindications, there are not so many of them. Caution should be taken with the decoction of pregnant and lactating women, it is worth using the remedy only after consulting a doctor. The same applies to people suffering from colitis and dysentery. A decoction of birch flu is also incompatible during antibiotic treatment. These are all contraindications, and if you are not among the people at risk, you can safely drink this wonderful drink.
Now our readers know what chaga is, the medicinal properties and contraindications of this remedy, it remains to find out how, in fact, to prepare the decoction itself.
You can buy chaga at a pharmacy or make your own. Suitable for autumn, winter or early spring. In general, you can prepare a mushroom at any time of the year, it's just that at that time there is no foliage on the birch trees and the growths are easier to notice. You need to choose strong strong trees, only useful chaga grows on them. The mushroom is cut off, cutting off the bark at the base, and cleaned of white dust. Then the chaga must be cut into pieces and dried; many people use the oven for this purpose. Spread the resulting pieces of mushroom on a baking sheet and place in the oven, heated to 70 degrees. If you do not have a convection mode, then it is better not to close the door tightly so that the evaporating moisture has an outlet.
As soon as the mushroom dries, you can proceed to brewing. In no case should chaga be boiled, otherwise you will lose most of the benefits. The best solution is to use a thermos. The broth is brewed based on the proportion: 5 cups of liquid per cup of chopped mushroom.
Wash and dry the thermos, pour the mushroom into it. Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Pour chaga with hot, but not boiling water. Close the lid of the thermos and leave for 12 hours. The best option is to prepare a decoction in the evening and then in the morning you can enjoy excellent and mega-healthy tea. Such a drink should be stored no longer than three days, otherwise it will deteriorate and instead of benefit it can cause harm. In addition to mono-broth, many add additional components to it, for example, viburnum berries, hazel leaves, kelp and much more.
Chaga mushroom has long been called a miracle of nature. It grows to an impressive size and absorbs useful components. Therefore, it is often used in traditional and folk medicine as a panacea for many diseases of the human body.
Inside, the chaga is dark brown, but as it approaches the wood, it acquires a reddish tint. Chaga grows for 15-20 years, gradually cutting through the bark and deepening into the tree trunk. After some time, the tree, the trunk of which is affected by chaga, dies.
Chaga mushroom has long been called a miracle of nature
Chaga grows on tree trunks in the northern United States. It is also found in the northern regions of Europe and Asia. Since chaga does not like heat, it is impossible to see it in the southern latitudes. Cut and harvest the mushroom in any season of the year. You need to cut it from living trees, and do it very carefully. Due to its similarity to other tinder fungi, chaga can easily be confused with them. If mushrooms are already collected from dead trunks, the amount of useful substances in them is insignificant.
To maintain the healing components in chaga, it is better to store it in a dry form. For this, containers with a closed lid are perfect. To make it easier to use in the future, you need to cut the mushroom fresh. Since when it dries, it becomes very hard and it becomes very difficult to grind it.
It is better to make small blanks for future use. Since a dry mushroom stores its healing properties for no more than 4 months.

Tannins, contained in a large volume in chaga, help proteins to fold and form a protection on the internal organs.
The recovery of the body occurs due to the presence of melanin in the fungus. Also, the use of mushroom-based products has a positive effect on the state of the nervous system. With the systematic use of infusions, normalization of the functioning of the digestive tract and an increase in the body's immunity are observed.

How useful it is, how to prepare and take chaga, whether it has contraindications, let's talk in more detail.
This plant can be called an amazing creation of nature. Not everyone knows where the birch mushroom grows and what it looks like. If you look carefully on the trunk of a middle-aged birch, you can see growths on the bark of a tree. These are mostly trees that are over 20 years old. Chaga can also grow on other types of trees: alder, maple, mountain ash, but only birch has medicinal properties.
The fungus grows from a small spore to a very large size. During all this time, it is saturated with useful substances from birch sap. It also absorbs other nutrients from the bark of the tree. All together allows him to actively develop.
The inside of the growth has a dark brown color, and closer to the bark it acquires a dark red hue. . During the growth of the fungus deepens into the bark of the tree, and over time, his body appears on the opposite side of the trunk. This is already the fruiting body of the fungus, but gradually it dies. Most often, birch chaga can be found in the taiga and forest-steppe, in birch groves and forests of Russia. Also, such mushrooms grow on trees in other countries:
Harvesting of such raw materials is done at any time of the year. It is recommended to cut growths only from living trees. Dried fruits are well stored in a closed container. The largest parts should be crushed immediately, since the fruits harden strongly when dry. Harvesting must be done in a timely manner, because now many have begun to collect chaga for sale. For example, the miracle mushroom Veselka has become increasingly difficult to find. It has similar properties and is able to heal from all ailments.
The fruit body of chaga contains many useful substances. It contains many acids to normalize the acid-base balance:
It is also rich in fiber, polysaccharides and resins. All these substances improve appetite, eliminate pain.

This is not the whole list of diseases that are under the power of chaga. The fungus has proven itself as a remedy for cancer. However, such properties show their effect only in the initial stages. For cancer in humans immunity is greatly weakened. Taking chaga, you can strengthen it in a short period of time. The fungus contains special properties that can eliminate cancerous tumors and prevent the appearance of new formations.
Most often, medicinal tincture and tea are made from mushroom growths. They also make a decoction, extract, syrup and even chaga oil.
To prepare a strong tincture, you need to take 100 g of dry raw materials and pour 500 ml of warm boiled water into it. The mixture should stand for 4 hours, after which it must be drained, and the pieces of chaga should be finely chopped. Then everything is combined again and heated to 40 ° C. Now you need to drain and leave pure tea. Another 0.5 liters of water should be added to it to get medium-strength tea. Tincture is taken three times a day for half an hour before meals. The course of treatment is long, but a break is made between courses for 7-10 days. This remedy is quite active, so the body needs time to rest between treatments.
There is also a recipe for a quick tincture. For its preparation it is necessary have 1 liter of boiling water and 250 g of dry chaga. Prepared raw materials are poured with boiling water and infused for 7 hours in a warm place. You can insist even longer. The tincture is stored for no more than 3 days without a refrigerator.
