The parasite enters the tree through a 'wound' in the bark of a mature tree. It then grows under the bark until it erupts in a deeply cracked, black charcoal like extension. It usually takes another 5-7 years for it to fully mature, at which point it falls to the forest floor, most times killing the host tree in the process.* *Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) has been widely used in traditional medicine to facilitate breathing in Asiahas been known to cause a reduction in nasopharyngeal inflammationExtracts from this fungus have been used for its antitumor, antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory propertieswater extracts from IO have traditionally been used as a source of bioactive compounds that exhibit cytostatic and cytotoxic effectsled to an overall reduction in HSV infection in Vero cells  Additional Information about the product:Main Ingredients: Wild harvested Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) whole mushroom dried.
