Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Chaga has long been simmered rather than steeped, as its dense sclerotium releases its character slowly with heat. Traditionally it was prepared as a daily sipping tea, often with the same pieces re-simmered over several days, and sometimes combined with other woods-grown botanicals. In Russian and Northern European folk traditions it was a common winter household infusion, and in modern Chinese herbal retail it is typically offered as a bulk ingredient for home decoction.
