Like so many ancient plant-rich remedies, birch is associated with a goddess. In this instance, it’s the Norse beauty, Freya. Birch was once so valued; it was ordained sacred in ancient German and Slavonic belief systems.
Traditionally, birch sap was considered a beautifying and strengthening remedy against fever and stomach ailments because of its detoxifying properties. An exceptionally potent ingredient, its benefits were said to be seen and felt immediately. For centuries, birch has been used as a powerful detoxifier known for its ability to relieve swelling and inflammation. It was believed to purify by helping flush toxins from the body when used in soaking baths.
