Chaga tincture - 30 ml

In Eastern Europe, chaga has traditionally been used as a treatment for skin conditions like eczema and respiratory disorders like bronchitis.  Thee first mention of Chaga comes from 16th Century Russian texts.

•          Chaga was traditionally used to treat gastric ulcers and gastritis.

•          A tea was made from chaga to treat intestinal pain and stomach upsets.

•          Chaga was and remains especially popular for hunters and forestry workers because it alleviates hunger and boosts energy.

•          Infusions made from chaga have long been used to treat various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

•          The Khanty people of Siberia are among the first known to have used chaga medicinally.

•          As well as brewing a tea from chaga, the Khanty also produced ‘soap water’ by burning the chaga in a fire and then adding it to hot water. This ‘soap water’ was used for its disinfectant ability.

 Crucial other chemical ingredients include beta-glucans, other polysaccharides, phytosterols and triterpenes like botulin and betulinic acid which give chaga a diverse range of therapeutic benefits.

Ergosterol peroxide is a medically exciting component of Chaga.  Ergosterol peroxide has shown anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and immunosuppressive capabilities in the lab.
