Week 3 - Purifying Birch

Six weeks to wellness

Silver Birch is traditionally linked with purification and renewal and in ancient languages the name for birch derives from a source meaning ‘bright’ or ‘shining’.

Modern herbalists may use the dried leaves, bark, buds and sap of the birch for treating a number of ailments including kidney stones and other disorders of the urinary tract, and for treating inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and skin problems.

We use birch extracts in both our medicines and natural organic cosmetics as well as in Birch Juice and Birch Elixir, which along with Blackthorn and Sea Buckthorn form part of the food supplement range. Medicinally, birch is often used in preparations to help with arthritis and rheumatism where deposits can build up in joints. Birch bark and leaves can help to re/dissolve these deposits and increase their excretion from the body.

500 tons of organic birch leaves a year are used by us and collected by our fair trade partners in the Czech Republic.

This extraordinary oil is bursting with ingredients designed to tone, smooth and firm the skin. Organic birch leaf extract is full of flavonoids to purify and detox the body. Rosemary improves the circulation and metabolism, while Butcher’s Broom has an anti-inflammatory effect. Jojoba oil smoothes, apricot oil provides essential fatty acids and wheat germ oil nourishes the skin with vitamin E. Massage into problem areas using moderate pressure, and in circular movements work upwards, towards the heart. In just under two months, skin elasticity and firmness can significantly improve, as demonstrated by independent assessors using ultrasound tests.

A dermatological study* confirmed that when using Birch Cellulite Oil twice daily over 28 days in combination with Birch Juice, testers’ skin was on average noticeably 35% firmer and skin elasticity improved by 20%.

*The latest efficacy tests for Birch Cellulite Oil were conducted independently by German dermatological specialists proDERM, Institut für Angewandte, Dermatologische Forschung GmbH, Hamburg, over 12 weeks, using Birch Juice for the first three weeks of the study.
