Inonotus Obliquus: An Adaptogenic Herb

More commonly known as the chaga mushroom, Inonotus obliquus is a type of fungus that feeds on trees, most notably Birch. Although it is known in Russia as birch cancer because it kills its host tree, Inonotus obliquus is said to hav anti tumor properties and to boost the immune system of human users. Further, the betulin or betulinic acid, found in high amounts in Inonotus obliquus, is undergoing studies as a chemotherapeutic agent. In fact, this mushroom has been called the most powerful medicinal mushroom against cancer.

Inonotus obliquus is also an adaptogenic substance. As such, this fungus is used to strengthen the body overall and increase resistance to stress. In doing so, the user may benefit from a strengthened immune system and less susceptibility to disease. Further, because adaptogens work both against both internal and external stress, Inonotus obliquus may help with mental issues such as depression and memory.
