Stories from Nature
Birch sap is extracted from the trunk of the birch tree (Betula Alba), which grows in the forested regions of Northern Asia, Canada, and Northern Europe. It is widely used in gemmotherapy and cosmetics, thanks to its draining, diuretic, purifying, and rebalancing properties.
The sap is harvested by inserting small tubes into the trunk of a mature tree and collecting it in containers placed at the base of the trunk. Up to 4–5 liters of sap can be extracted from a trunk with a diameter of 50 centimeters in about four days. It is rich in minerals, amino acids, and sugars.
It is used in various forms, such as herbal teas, tinctures, drops, extracts, and sap, as well as in cosmetic formulations for specific hair treatments.
