Description

Our True Sweet Birch Essential Oil is distilled by a small family owned distiller in Canada, using birch bark material collected in Canada and Adirondack. This Sweet Birch Essential Oil is one of the only authentic birch oils produced on the market today, with quite a bit more complexity than the typical commercial "birch oil" on the market. Sweet Birch Essential Oil is steam distilled from the bark of the birch tree, which must be macerated and soaked for up to 12 hours before distillation. Sweet Birch is native to southern Canada, Northern USA, and some parts of Russia and Eastern Europe. Sweet Birch was originally used by North American native tribes as a tonic and for joint mobility and joint and muscle pains. 

In aromatherapy today, Sweet Birch is commonly used for its muscle and joint pain relieving properties, as well as respiratory issues. Sweet Birch is an astringent and may be used in skincare blends to help tone, tighten, and soften the skin. Being an antiseptic, Sweet Birch Essential Oil  is also used to help protect the skin from bacterial and fungal infections. Sweet Birch Essential Oil  must always be diluted when applied directly to the skin, as the oil may be irritating when applied neat. 

NOTE: This Essential Oil comes with a Child Resistant Cap. Due to its high salicylate and methyl salicylate content, Sweet Birch Essential Oil should not be used on children, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.

Benefits

Joint and Muscle Pains

Sweet Birch has a long history of use for pain relief, particularly for joint and muscle pains. Thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds, it can relieve aches, spasms, and deep-seated pains such as those in the knees or shoulders. 

Natural Headache Relief

Sweet Birch can also be used effectively to deal with headaches and migraines in a natural way. In fact, the compounds in Sweet Birch Essential Oil are a naturally occurring variant of the chemical found in Aspirin. 

Treating Respiratory Infections

Sweet Birch Essential Oil can be used to help clear up congestion and mild infections of the respiratory tract, such as those resulting from the cold or flu.

How to Safely Inhale Birch Essential Oil Using a Waterless Diffuser

Using a waterless essential oil diffuser is an excellent way to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of birch essential oil. This method disperses the oil directly into the air without the need for water, ensuring a potent and effective inhalation experience. Here’s how to do it safely and effectively:

Steps for Using a Waterless Diffuser with Birch Essential Oil

  1. Preparation:
    • Ensure the Diffuser is Clean: Before use, make sure your waterless diffuser is clean and free from residue from previous oils.
    • Select Mild Carrier Oils: Since birch essential oil is potent, consider blending it with milder oils like lavender, chamomile, or sweet orange to create a balanced aroma and reduce the risk of irritation.
  2. Blending the Oils:
    • Recipe: Mix 5-6 drops of birch essential oil with 10-15 drops of a milder essential oil (e.g., lavenderchamomile, or sweet orange). This helps to dilute the intensity of birch oil while still reaping its benefits.
    • Instructions: Add the blended oils directly to the diffuser's essential oil compartment.
  3. Operating the Diffuser:
    • Instructions: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific model. Generally, you will need to turn on the diffuser and select your preferred diffusion intensity.
    • Placement: Place the diffuser in a well-ventilated area to ensure even distribution of the essential oils.

Important Safety Notes

  • Patch Test: Always perform a patch test before using a new essential oil blend on a larger area of the skin. Apply a small amount of the diluted oil to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions.
  • Avoid Ingestion: Birch essential oil should never be ingested due to its high methyl salicylate content, which can be toxic.
  • Consultation: If you have any underlying health conditions, are pregnant, nursing, or are taking medications, consult a healthcare professional or a trusted aromatherapist before using birch essential oil.
 
Recipes

Easy Breathing Recipe

Massage Oil for Pained Joints

Beware! It comes out quickly!

This smells so nice and fresh like wintergreen. It will come out of the bottle very fast so wait patiently for one drop which is all you need at one time. I mix it in my hand with my moisturizer then apply to my face. Keeping it away from eyes is important as it will burn them! As for if it helps my skin, I’m not sure yet.

Such a surprise

I purchased this for the anti-inflammatory properties. I was surprised it had a wintergreen scent. Love it.

Feels great on my back

I had never used sweet birch until recently learning it’s an anti-inflammatory and helps arthritis. I use this with my back/pain blend.

Minty sweet!

I got this to add to a muscle oil because I twisted up my lower back recently. Just a drop or two in a tsp of oil twice daily helps quickly while I work on stretching it out with daily yin yoga.

I also love the minty sharp smell that fades to sweetness and fresh earth.
