Birch Benefits

Birch tree supplements, teas, and oils are used for many different health benefits. Birch tree is nicknamed the "tree of life". Birch bark can treat a number of ailments and birch oil is also used to alleviate health issues.

Health benefits of Birch Bark:
  • Diuretic (birch oil)
  • Rheumatism (birch oil)
  • Healthy urinary tract
  • Lower cholesterol
  • Fights liver disease
  • Intestinal parasites
  • Constipation
  • Ascities
  • Diarrhea
  • Cardiac edemas
  • Flu
  • Cold
  • Atheroschlerosis
  • Fever
  • Arterial Hypertension
  • Allergies
  • Sinusitis
  • Hyperzotomy
  • Dizziness
  • Reduces cellulite (birch oil)
  • Anti depression (birch oil)
  • Detox (birch oil)
  • Hair loss (birch oil)
  • Kidney stones

Remember that when you are using birch oil, you will need to dilute the oil and never ingest the oil. If birch oil is not properly diluted, it could cause irritations.

Some benefits may only come from using birch essential oil and other benefits can come from using birch bark in capsule form. You can also use birch tea for treatments. For a skin soothing bath, add a few drops of birch oil to your bath water.

For hair loss and dandruff treatment, use birch leaves on your scalp.

Always use these products as directed on the label. Never use them in a harmful way. Never pour birch oil down a sink. It's considered a pollutant.

To ease achy, stiff, sore muscles use diluted birch oil as a massaging oil. You can do the same thing for sprains and stiff joints.
