There are several types of medicinal mushrooms: tibetan milk mushroom , Indian sea rice, kombucha. And although outwardly they are not similar, they are all united by one scientific name for these mushrooms: zoogley. In fact, they are not mushrooms at all. This is a slimy formation that occurs when bacteria of some species seem to stick together. All three mushrooms are completely different, and they are united by the fact that they include acetic acid bacteria, and the fact that they all have healing properties.
Kefir, which was obtained as a result of the vital activity of protein bunches, was nicknamed the elixir of youth. People who take it systematically did not age for a long time, as a result, they were always in decent shape! It should be noted that not only cow's milk, but also goat's, sheep's, and horse's milk was fermented with these protein bunches. The result was always amazing: the drink ("kefir") obtained after fermentation prolonged youth and healthy full life... Thus, the living medicine that we call today was discovered "Tibetan milk mushroom". For many centuries, this mushroom was kept in strict secrecy by the peoples of Tibet.
Among Muslims kefir mushroom for a long time was considered a gift from Allah and was passed down from generation to generation. It was also believed that kefir mushroom is a source of wealth and family well-being. Considering the reverent attitude towards this bioculture, it is not surprising that the process of making kefir itself was kept in great secret.
According to another version, it is considered that North Ossetia is the birthplace of kefir. They say that it was the mountaineers who were the first to come up with this product and experienced its healing and nutritional properties. Caucasians considered kefir to be a drink that returns youth to old people and gives strength to young men, they called it "a gift from heaven." Like any real treasure, the recipe for making kefir was kept in the strictest secret and was inaccessible to foreigners just like the secret of Chinese silk was once. In ancient times, the peoples of the North Caucasus called kefir fungi for their granular surface "Millet of the prophet" or "The grains of Mohammed." Sourdough was passed only within the clan, in no case could it be donated, given or sold to someone else. Those who disobeyed this strictest prohibition faced inevitable punishment, and the laws of the mountains were always harsh. According to legende, kefir fungi Mahomet himself brought in his staff as a gift to the mountaineers. He taught people to cook a very special product with the help of these peas and strictly forbade giving them to the Gentiles. Having accepted this gift, the inhabitants of the Caucasus began to prepare a divine product. They considered it a sin to give fungi even to daughters who were getting married. So those wishing to taste a healing drink from distant countries came to North Caucasus... The method of preparing kefir has not changed for several centuries. In order to ferment milk into kefir, milk was poured into a leather wineskin, and later, into a special earthen vessel, and, having placed fungi there, was carried out on the road so that every traveler could kick it with his foot. The highlanders quite rightly believed that constant shaking only accelerates the fermentation process.
The first article about kefir in Russia was written in 1867. One of the Russian medical journals described the healing and nutritional properties of the mysterious drink. Gradually, kefir became known not only in Russia, but also abroad. At the very beginning of the 20th century, the medical community was greatly interested in the mystery of kefir, and the All-Russian Society of Physicians decided to take a serious step. Its representatives offered the dairy breeder Blandov to get a recipe for making kefir and set up its production in Russia by any means. Of course, for their part, they promised him a solid reward.
It took the resourceful entrepreneur only one year to solve the problem. During this time, in some mysterious way, he received kefir fungi and opened the world's first factory for the production of a wonderful drink. Surely the case was not without the best detectives of that time, but, one way or another, in 1909, kefir began its victorious march across Russia.
In Russia of the XIX century. kefir hospitals began to open everywhere, stories about miraculous healings and the extraordinary properties of kefir, as a wonderful elixir that prolongs life, were passed from mouth to mouth. Russian doctors used kefir to treat rickets, lung diseases, gynecological diseases, anemia, dropsy; cured with kefir or, according to at least, softened the course of such heavy pulmonary diseases like tuberculosis.
