Birch (Sweet) - 10ml

Birch (Sweet), distilled from the bark of the Betula lenta tree, is a powerful and stimulating oil known for its sharp, minty, and wintergreen-like aroma. Rich in natural methyl salicylate - an active compound similar to aspirin - this oil is prized for its potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Traditionally used by Native Americans for pain relief and detoxification, Birch Sweet remains a go-to choice for easing muscular aches, joint pain, arthritis, and rheumatism.

Due to its intense warming action, Birch Sweet is often used in massage blends to improve circulation and soothe tired or overworked muscles. It also has astringent and purifying effects that make it useful in skincare (when used with extreme caution and proper dilution). Emotionally, its invigorating scent clears the mind, boosts motivation, and combats mental and physical fatigue.

However, Birch Sweet Essential Oil is highly potent and should be used with care. It is not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, or individuals with aspirin sensitivity. When handled responsibly, it can be a powerful tool in natural wellness practices.
