As spring blooms, we are all happy to leave the frost behind.

We look forward to spending time outdoors, enjoying the longer days and savoring the warmth of the sun.

It is precisely at this time, that winter leaves us its last gift: it is Birch Sap, a natural remedy well known in Nordic countries for its beneficial and depurative properties.

Curiosities and extraction of birch sap

The white birch(Betula verrucosa) is a majestic tree that can reach up to 20 meters in height.

Sap extraction is a practice known from ancient times and has always followed a special process that respects nature and its time.

A hole is drilled about 3-5 cm, one meter above the ground, preferably on the south side of the trunk.

A special tube is then inserted inside this hole to allow the lymph to flow.

Harvesting is done exclusively once a year, during the first weeks of March, from mature trees.

This method keeps the plant in strength and vigor and maximally preserves all beneficial properties.

Properties of birch sap

Birch sap is a clear, odorless liquid rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, chromium, and selenium.

It is known for its diuretic and draining properties: it helps fight water retention, prevent kidney stones and cleanse the body of toxins.

In addition, several in vitro studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of birch sap, given by the presence of betuloside and at monotropitoside.

Although the sap is not properly a gemmoderivative nor a glyceric macerate, it is often used in gemmotherapy in the treatment of forms of osteoarthritis associated with hyperuricemia.

We often recommend it at this time of year to do an all-natural purification cycle.

Our Birch Sap is 100% pure, organically grown and without added sugar.

We recommend taking half a glass of sap daily diluted in water or juice.
