As a rule, a person himself, through his own ignorance, stupidity, or imprudence, harms his health. And when the doctors shrug their hands after a long and difficult treatment, he rushes to mother nature, trying to find help with her in solving the problem. And usually he’s not mistaken: the beneficial properties of plants and natural substances put him on his feet. So a panacea for many terrible diseases is considered in folk medicine chaga mushroom.
Is it a parasite?
Chaga has several names. He is a birch mushroom, and a parasite mushroom, and the "king of health." Each has a significant share of truth. Indeed, being a kind of parasite, it grows on trees, feeding on their juices, mineral salts and all useful elements. But thanks to such a “way of life”, the chaga is recognized as a unique plant in its healing quality. And therefore the spongy mushroom, harmful to birches, beech, alder, is remarkably useful to humans. Moreover, the birch chaga has the greatest value. It is widely distributed in Siberia, Japan, China, and some Asian countries. Siberian indigenous peoples from the 16th century (when the mushroom was discovered) drink chaga tea and infusions. In those places where he entered the national culinary, cancer and gastrointestinal diseases are practically not found. Life expectancy exceeds by decades the standards of other regions of Russia and Europe.
Thanks to the chaga, the immune system stabilizes and works properly, like a debugged
clockwork. An excellent antioxidant, it tones the body, removes old toxins and prevents the formation of new ones. It works at the DNA level. Plus supplies us with a huge amount of amino acids, micro and macro elements from the Mendeleev table, vitamins. Another chaga mushroom, the preparation of which we will analyze below, protects the liver, lungs, calms the central nervous system and generally heals all organs. In fact, it is a natural, natural dietary supplement, a powerful biostimulant that acts at the most subtle level and supports all vital processes.
Brewing and Drinking Culture
So, chaga (how to brew - see below) is a natural energetic. They drink it cold and hot, sweetened with honey. There are a number of rules for preparing a drink in order to preserve all the medicinal qualities as much as possible. By the way, there is no caffeine in the plant, therefore it can also be consumed by those people who cannot drink regular tea or coffee. If you have a mushroom in the form of a whole piece, it is advisable to grind it - so you will get a greater yield of nutrients.
Chaga is passed (how to brew correctly - read carefully!) Through a meat grinder to powder, then let it dry well. Then put it in a sealed container and use it as needed. Falling asleep in the water, pay attention to the temperature of the liquid. It should not exceed +55 degrees. Otherwise, polysaccharides, melanin, and other useful elements will be destroyed by boiling water. In appearance and taste of the chaga, when you brew it, it resembles tea with a slight smell of vanilla. Take 2 teaspoons of the powder in a glass. The drink is infused in a teapot or coffee pot for about 15 minutes. Then it is filtered. And drink with pleasure. By the way, here's another good chaga. How to brew it is already clear, but few people know that filtered "waste" is not waste at all! They can be used in the same way 2-5 times more! Just if the drink seems light to you, add another spoon. And if a chaga is unavailable for some time? How to make a drink so that it retains all the necessary properties, say, 5 days or a week? In principle, in the same way. Just keep the drink in the refrigerator, drink 1-3 cups a day.
