In Asia, Chaga's folklore applications are diverse, including building up the immune system; combating influenza, viruses and bacteria; detoxifying the liver, kidney and spleen; stimulating the central nervous system; improving skin color and elasticity and restoring youthful looks. Today, in Japan, Chaga has become very popular among women as a remedy for pigment spots and wrinkles, thanks to the new fundamental researches of the Chaga or birch-tree-fungus made by Japanese scientists.  

For thousands of years "Siberian" Chaga was revered throughout the known world particularly in China, Japan, Russia, Manchuria and Asia Minor. Chaga is documented in the earliest known journal of Oriental Medicine, "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" in 100 BC as "The King of Herbs" and a "Gift from God". This journal is now considered the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chaga is also referred to in Asian culture as the "Mushroom of Immortality".

Chaga was used for centuries in many Eastern European countries including Russia, as a folk remedy for many forms of cancer, tuberculosis of the bones, diabetes, arthritis, stomach and digestive ailments, blood disorders, bronchitis, hypertension, tumor growth and viral infections.

The international scientific community has begun significant research of Chaga's immense health benefits. Medical research has shown Chaga to be effective as an anti-tumor agent. In 1958, scientific studies in Finland and Russia found that this mushroom provided an epochal effect in uterine, liver, breast, and gastric cancer, and hypertension and diabetes.

The Gandodelan A-B is responsible for blood sugar maintenance. Chaga activates the immunity system and arrests the excess production of allergen. Gandodelan A-B does lower blood sugar content quickly in white mice clinical studies by 60-89% in seven hours.

In Russia and Eastern Europe, Chaga is approved by the Russian Medical Research Council and has been used for centuries for its effects on good health, immunity, metabolism, tumor growth, blood pressure, cholesterol, and numerous forms of cancer. Mushroom extracts can be considered some of the first nutraceuticals - food concentrated into medicinal form.

Siberian Chaga is considered by many medical researches as one of nature's perfect medicinal herbs. For the past 44 years, modern scientific studies and clinical trials based around pharmaceutical Chaga based products have demonstrated efficacy on the hormonal, immune, oncological, aging, diabetes, ulcers, and central nervous system disorders. It is estimated that over 40 cancer drugs extracted and base their formulary origin to Chaga and similar mushroom species that contain AHCC, Lentinan, D-Frantion and Betulin.

Scientists worldwide are now discovering the healing abilities of this ancient and noble remedy. In this century, there are over 1400 clinical and scientific research publications, and in vitro controlled studies devoted to Chaga and its effects, supporting medicinal mushrooms as an alternative to over-the-counter drugs and prescription medications.

Many clinical studies attest to its potent anti viral and anti tumor effects. The Beta Glucans are powerful immune boosters, not by killing virus or cancer cells directly, but by stimulating the body's ability to setup cellular defenses. Beta Glucans are largely responsible for warding off tumors, immune deficiencies, viral, bacteria and parasitic diseases, as well as hormonal imbalance and the prevention of oncogenesis.
