Teaga is a bracket fungi botanical offering nutrition and supporting a stronger immune system and better health. 

The story is told that the use of Teaga originates from the Northern Plateau Native Americans who observed debilitated and ill animals who ate it and became well. Taking a cue from nature, they began adding Teaga to their food. When faced with plague, smallpox, and other life-threatening illness, they were able to overcome disease due to their strong immune systems. 

While Teaga does not cure anything, it encourages the body in healing itself by supporting increased liver function, production of natural steroids which are anti-inflammatory, normalization of insulin production, and stabilization of blood pressure. Natural components of Teaga have antioxidant, antitumoral and antimutagen qualities as well as being an oxygen catalyst. Teaga dietary fibers are anti-aging, assisting in the removal of toxic substances from the body. In general Teaga assists the body's ability to build a stronger immune system. 

Unlike pharaceutical drugs that are designed for specific effects on physiological function and often exhibit toxic side effects, Teaga tea manifests itself with multiple holistic benefits. Teaga is a bracket fungi, single herb and nutritional. The family of fungi to which Teaga belongs contains naturally-occuring biochemicals, which stimulate the body's production of mono- and cytokines which simulate what would happen if a serious infection were in progress.  Interferon levels have risen as much as 2000% of normal within 20 hours of ingestion of extracts from this family of fungi. (Anecdotal results indicate that there are more ingredients present in Teaga than in any other members of it's family.)

    Teaga has been observed to stimulate the body to produce great numbers of healthy neutrophil cells. Healthy neutrophil cells can bring about regeneration of damaged tissues in the body. Neutrophil cells have intelligence and a mobility of their own accord. If they are abundant enough in the body, they attack invading pathogens and cancer cells. When an invader is introduced into the body, it is the job of the neutrophil cell to take a piece of it either to the B-cell (if it is a bacteria) or the T-cell (if it is a virus, cancer or other non-specific antigen). There, the antibodies (in the case of the B-cell) or the cytoxic chemicals (in the case of the T-cell) are produced which eliminate the invader. This is referred to as the cellular handshake. Therefore, it is desireable to have an abundance of healthy neutrophil cells. They also appear to be able  to provide undifferentiated stem cells to areas of the body which need repair. This is how regeneration can occur.

The following benefits have been observed:

• Increased Liver Function  Aiding in the removal of toxins in the body due to bitter terpenoids.
• Anti-Inflammation  Due to Natural steroids found in therapeutic quantities.
• Normalization and Regulation of Insulin Production  Hypoglycemic Glycans and Protioglycans.
• Stabilization of Blood Pressure   Ganoderic and Fomeric Acids are reported to inhibit hypertensice-related angiotenin-1-converting enzymes.
• Anti-Tumoral  Anti-tumor Polysaccharides activity has been found in various hetero-beta-D-glucans having a beta (1-3) glucan chain as the active site. These glucanoids include beta-D-glucan, glucurono-beta-D-glucan, arabininoxylo-beta-D-glucan, xylo-beta-D-glucan, mannobeta-D-glucan, and xylomanno-beta-D-glucan. The presence of these glucanoids explain the strong anti-tumoral effects of the Teaga. They are polysaccharides that seem to imitate interferon and interleukin, the good guys...the compounds we want to use.
• Oxygen Catalyst  Germainum contained within this bracket fungi has been isolated and found by Russian scientists to contain the highest naturally-occuring Germanium content of all the medicinally useful foods. This health -giving substance has the properties of an antioxidant, anti-tumoral, anti-mutagen, and oxygen catalyst. It also is an effective semi-conductor, or electron-transferring material, and while enhancing the oxygen supply to the body's cells, the result of that is increased energy production. The textbook The Pathological Basis of Disease (Saunders 1984) used by many American medical colleges, states "Hypoxia," (oxygen deficiency) is probably the most common cause of cell injury and may also be the ultimate mechanism of damage initiated by a variety of physical, biological, and chemical agents. The importance of the cells being properly oxygenated cannot be underestimated. Germanium makes every breath of air breathed up to 200 times more available to the cells.
• Anti-Aging  The dietary fibers that are present are chtinous substances with carcinostatic activities and are present in large quantities. These components have a chelative/absorptive effect on any toxic material left in the bowel, which hastens their removal from the body.
• Prevention of Bacterial Infections/Strengthen The Immune System  It has been observed and noted through many clinical observations that within a day after taking the Teaga Tea, the reaction of the body is to produce massive numbers of neutrophil cells and other white blood cells. The body will produce  up to 4000% of the normal amount of neutrophils. What happens then is these cells flow out into the blood stream expecting to locate an infection. They are programmed to kill only those that have the markers that it recognizes as the enemy. If the neutrophils find no infection, they then set about the business of survival to seek out anything that may be wrong and then destroy it. With the ingestion of the Teaga, an alkalizing diet would be in order.  It is reported many who have done such, even with the most debilitating disease, the survival rates have increased and pain reduced.

     Teaga is wildcrafted and prepared with no additives or processing beyond chopping into small pieces for brewing convenience.
