Birch trees’ beautiful black bark is not only visually striking, it also contains beneficial biological chemicals that have long been utilized by ancient cultures to support immune function, protect against cancer and reduce inflammation. Some researchers consider this rare fungus an anti-aging remedy thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties that help the body combat oxidative stress; in fact, its ORAC score ranks 31 times higher than blueberries!
Chaga mushrooms have long been used as health tonics throughout the northern world. Found growing on the trunks of birch and maple trees in colder climates – particularly Russia, Poland, Finland and Norway in Eastern Europe as well as Canada – these mushrooms may live for 20 years before turning into hard masses called conks that resemble burnt charcoal attached to trees.
This fungus is full of antioxidants – substances which neutralize harmful free radical accumulation and may potentially slow or stop cancer’s spread – as well as being an adaptogen, providing relief from environmental and mental stressors by strengthening resistance against viruses as well as maintaining stable blood sugar and cholesterol levels in the body.
Chaga also contains antibacterial and antifungal properties that may help alleviate digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Chaga may support liver detoxification functions while simultaneously helping balance thyroid and pituitary gland activity and strengthening immunity systems.
Research on chaga is promising, yet additional work must be done before it can be considered an effective treatment for serious illnesses like cancer. Therefore, it is wise to consult your healthcare provider prior to adding this mushroom into your diet plan.
