Need a detox break after winter or before the warmer weather arrives? At Soin-et-Nature, discover a selection of organic birch sap, harvested in the spring to preserve its freshness and effectiveness. A true vitality boost, birch sap is ideal for cleansing the body, stimulating elimination, and replenishing minerals. Thanks to its natural abundance of antioxidants, vitamins, and trace minerals, it supports kidney health, improves circulation, and boosts your energy levels.
More detailsBirch sap is an “elixir of life” that has been used as a natural remedy for millennia by Nordic peoples, known for their robust health and longevity.
Also knownas “birch water”because of its clear, translucent color, this precious liquid is harvested by producers in the spring, between March 15 and April 15. It is during this period that the body gradually emerges from the winter season and needs to rid itself of all the accumulated toxins.
Birch sap circulates throughout the tree’s entire root system. It is only as spring approaches that it begins its ascent up the trunk, gradually becoming charged with energy. It is a true“organically energized water”brimming with active ingredients that possess powerful medicinal properties.
A birch sap cleanse is a gentle detoxification method that won’t exhaust the body. In fact, its high content of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements provides the body with the energy it needs to effectively flush out toxins. Note that the composition of birch sap varies depending on the geological nature of the subsoil.
This plant-based liquid can be combined with the benefits of bud extracts—as part of preparations derived from bud medicine—to enhance the elimination of toxins.
By combining birch sap with plant embryonic extracts derived from young shoots, a particularly effective synergy is achieved to support the body’s elimination functions and revitalize the organism.
Among its therapeutic benefits, birch sap is particularly renowned for its diuretic properties and is used successfully by people suffering from water retention,obesity, or cellulite. In fact, it is a powerful detoxifier that helps eliminate excess waste from the body and improve skin conditions. Sometimes, birch sap is combined with bud extracts to enhance its detoxifying action and provide additional therapeutic benefits.
Herbalgem Laboratories offers several gemmotherapy complexes based on birch sap, such as:
It’s important not to confuse birch juice and birch sap. Although their therapeutic benefits are more or less similar, they are not obtained in the same way.
A high-quality harvest must take place in the spring, before the first buds appear. Naturally, birch trees in the heart of the forest are preferable, as they provide high-quality sap rich in minerals.
However, if, at the time of harvest, the birch sap loses its clarity and turns white, this means the sap has traveled too far up the tree. In that case, there is no point in consuming it, as it will have lost much of its potency.
Producers harvest the sap using a tube inserted directly into the birch trunk, where they drill a 3-cm hole about one meter above the ground. They use containers with holes in the lids, insert a plastic tube into them, and connect it to the hole in the trunk so that the sap can flow out gradually. A large birch tree can yield up to 5 liters of birch sap per day.
Finally, once harvesting from a single tree is complete, producers plug the trunk with a wooden plug to help it heal.
Once a bottle of birch sap has been opened, it’s important to store it in the refrigerator and consume it within 3 to 4 weeks at most.
However, it’s worth noting that the more birch sap ferments, the more its active ingredients are concentrated. The taste may not always be pleasant, but its effectiveness is at its peak.
For purists, Santarome Laboratories have developed a unique production method known as “from tree to bottle.” As a result, Santarome birch sap is guaranteed to be 100% pure and fresh, as it undergoes no oxidation or pasteurization and contains no preservatives. The active ingredients do not degrade, allowing this birch sap to retainall of its therapeutic benefits.
To undergo a birch sap detox, it is recommended to take 150 to 250 ml of birch sap for at least 3 weeks. You can drink it straight or diluted in a little water, preferably on an empty stomach. You can repeat the regimen for an additional 3 weeks.
Consuming birch sap is contraindicated for people who are allergic to salicylates. Birch is an allergenic tree that can cause respiratory and skin allergies.
Due to its powerful diuretic effect, birch sap is also contraindicated for people with kidney disease.
Finally, birch sap should not be taken by pregnant or breastfeeding women, or by children.
