Tips & Tricks
In order for the treatment to give a truly desired result, listen to the following tips.
- Undoubtedly, finding chaga is very easy. You can meet it even on urban birches, but in no case use this mushroom for treatment. Most of the trees in the city are located near roads, which is why the chaga absorbs a lot of harmful waste, therefore it is forbidden to use such a growth.
- Confusing chaga with other tinderies is easy enough, because if you do not have the necessary experience in finding a mushroom, it is best to purchase already chopped raw materials in a pharmacy. Which, by the way, will be the guarantor of quality.
- If you still decide to get the mushroom yourself, then pay attention to its hardness and color - you should not take too old (completely black and very hard) from dead trees.
- Before starting treatment, make sure that you really can use the mushroom and do not have the diseases prescribed in the contraindications.
- Whatever the miraculous property of the treatment, the birch chaga (infusion and inhalation from it) has its own contraindications, so you should take it only after consulting a doctor who, although he will not prescribe a mushroom as a treatment, will tell you if it is possible to combine alternative methods with the main therapy. Do not self-medicate - it can be dangerous for your health.
- Do not abuse this product. Birch chaga, the medicinal properties of which are preserved even when stored at home for many years, may be ineffective with frequent use. Despite the fact that it does not have a cumulative effect in the body, prolonged use can give the opposite result. Therefore, be sure to take breaks.
If you follow these tips, a birch chaga will definitely help you.
