Teaga Tea & Extract


 

4-ounce bottle

What is Teaga?

Teaga tea is bracket fungi, given a charge by Nature, that supports the body toward greater wellness. Teaga is a single herb and nutritional that offers many benefits that support a stronger immune system and better health. 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. Only in 1995 was tribal permission given for anyone outside the tribe to share the long-held secret.

While Teaga tea does not cure anything, it assists 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 tea have antioxidant, anticancer 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 tea assists the body’s ability to build a stronger immune system.

Origin of Teaga

Teaga is wild crafted and prepared by Life Research with no additives or processing beyond chopping into small pieces for brewing convenience.

Availability

Teaga comes in a vacuum sealed bag. It is very light in weight but will make 15 to 20 quarts of tea.
 
We now offer Teaga Extract, ready-to-use in a 4 oz. bottle.

Recommended Usage

Tea: For general wellness, most people take 4 to 6 ounces of liquid a day. For serious health challenges, up to 16 ounces a day may be ingested. Drink for four days, and then take three days off. Do not neglect the three days off because your body needs the time to make new cells.
 
Ready-to-Use Extract: Take one full dropper daily for maintenance, and take two or more full droppers daily for serious concerns.  Each week, take for four days in a row and then not for three days.

Preparation

Your package of dried mushrooms will make approximately 15-20 quarts.

For each quart of tea you are making, use one level Tablespoon of the dried mushroom.

In a stainless steel or pyrex pot with lid, bring a quart of water (or however many quarts you are making) to a hard boil.

Add your mushrooms, cover, and reduce to a slow rolling boil. (On most stoves this would be a 1 or 2 setting.)

Continue the slow rolling boil for three hours. The decoction will become bitter, although some people don’t have the ability to experience bitter.

In order to end up with a the intended amount of tea to drink, you can either add a bit more water before boiling, or after boiling you can top your tea off with enough water to bring it back up to your intended quantity.

Pour your brew through a fine filter and dispose of the mushroom parts.

You may drink the tea hot, warm, room temperature or cold, whatever you prefer. Drink your daily serving all at once, sip it throughout the day or in several servings…your choice. DO NOT add anything to reduce the bitterness. The bitter tritererpenes are important to help flush toxins from the liver.

Drink the tea for four days and then take three days off. In the case of critical conditions, you may simply want to reduce your serving for those three days rather than stopping.

Note: No matter how much you are drinking per day, always store your excess tea in the refrigerator, but no longer than two weeks at a time. You can freeze whatever you might not need if you made more than necessary for a two-week period.

We suggest that the unused mushrooms be stored in the freezer before cooking to preserve freshness. Also, the important compounds of these fungi must be unlocked from their chitin and made available in a liquid extract form. Do not try to simply grind the fungi and put it into a capsule form, because you will only get a fraction of what you need. The mushroom must be taken as a decoction to make it bio-available to the body.

(1) Teaga Tea

Teaga Tea is one of the finest medicinal teas on the market, given to us as Nature intended with no additives. Medicinal 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. Only in 1995 was tribal permission given for anyone outside the tribe to share the long-held secret.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that are designed for specific effects on physiological function and often exhibit toxic side effects, Teaga nutritional 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-occurring 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 its family.)

Teaga tea has been observed to stimulate the body to produce great numbers of healthy neutrophil cells. Healthy neutrophil cells bring about miraculous 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 to either the B-cell (if it is a bacteria) or the T-cell (if it is a virus, cancer or other non-speficic 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 desirable 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 from ingestion of Teaga tea.

• Increased Liver Function – Aiding in the removal of toxins in the body due to the bitter terpenoids.

• Anti-Inflammatory – Natural steroids useful in the treatment of arthritis and painful autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, found in therapeutic quantities.

• Normalization and Regulation of Insulin Production – This because of Teaga’s Hypoglycemic Glycans and Protioglycans.

• Stabilization of Blood Pressure – Because of the Ganoderic and Fomeric Acids that are reported to inhibit hypertensive-related angiotenin-1-converting enzymes.

• Anti-Tumor/Cancer Benefits – Anti-tumor Polycsaccharides 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, manno-beta-D-glucan and xylomanno-beta-D-glucan. The presence of these glucanoids explain the strong anti-tumor effects of the Teaga. They are polysaccharides that seem to imitate interferon and interleukin, the good guys . . . the compounds we want to use.

• Germanium contained within this bracket fungi has been isolated and found by Russian scientists to contain the highest naturally-occurring Germanium content of all the medicinally useful foods. This health-giving substance is a
