Write the 11/05/2022 by Santarome Bio
Birch is a particularly resistant tree, renowned for its ability to grow in the driest lands. It is therefore not surprising that its sap is highly appreciated for its multiple virtues. Food supplements based on birch sap are mainly used for their draining and cleansing abilities, but birch sap also has other notable qualities. Discover all the benefits of birch sap!
Unlike organic birch juice , birch sap does not come from the leaves of the tree but is taken directly from the trunk.
Properties of birch sap
A true natural elixir, birch sap has many properties essential to the proper functioning of the body. Consumed as a cure, birch sap supports the body in the transition between seasons.
- Diuretic effect: birch sap helps treat urinary infections. The diuretic effect of birch sap helps in particular to eliminate urinary stones located in the bladder or kidneys.
- Draining: helps detoxify and improve kidney and liver function. The draining effect helps eliminate organic waste and toxins accumulated in the body.
- Detox effect: a true antioxidant, birch sap acts on the organs responsible for eliminating waste such as the pancreas, kidneys, liver, etc.
- Source of vitamins and minerals: it contains calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, selenium, zinc, chromium, and a good number of other trace elements and minerals necessary for the body.
- Moisturizing: birch sap acts in particular on skin problems. It boosts the natural hydration of the epidermis and therefore allows for a better complexion.
Harvesting sap in spring 🌻
Pure Organic Birch Sap from Santarome Bio is obtained using a unique and particularly effective process: the “tree to bottle” method. This process allows the sap to be harvested directly from the tree, thus preserving it from oxidation. By avoiding contact with air, birch sap retains all its qualities.
The season for harvesting birch sap is spring. Indeed, the birch rests during the winter and during the summer and autumn period, it fills up with nutrient and mineral resources. The spring period is therefore the right time to carry out a birch sap cure.
Birch water is harvested by perforating a hole deep in the bark in order to release the liquid through a pipe. Once the harvest is complete, the hole must be closed so that the tree heals and can be used again for the next harvest.
Birch sap, an effective detox ally 🍋
To undertake a detox treatment, organic birch sap is an excellent ally. It is in fact particularly appreciated for its draining and cleansing properties, which contribute to the well-being of the body.
To use it optimally, it is recommended to consume it during the changing seasons: the body is put to the test during winter and particularly needs to be freed from its toxins.
In this context, if you feel bloated and have difficulty digesting, a birch juice treatment will do you the greatest good. By stimulating the emunctories (kidneys, lungs, liver , blood and skin) birch sap cleanses the body in depth and rids it of all its impurities.
This ability to promote the good balance of intestinal flora is the main quality of birch sap, and the one for which it is most consumed. Birch sap is in fact very rich in trace elements and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron. These active ingredients act to detoxify and stimulate the body.
More generally, birch sap is particularly rich in vitamin B, which helps make it an excellent supplement for remineralizing the body. It is therefore very suitable for elderly people whose muscles need to be hydrated more, but also for high-level athletes.
Medical benefits of birch sap
In the past, birch sap was already used for gout problems, bladder problems and colds. Since then, new properties of birch sap have been developed. Indeed, all the elements of birch water are essential for the formation of bones, proteins and acids necessary for our body which allow us to:
- regulate blood sugar levels
- intensely reduce fatigue and stress
- reduces water retention
- eliminate toxins and thus purify the body
- regulates bad cholesterol
- relieves osteoarthritis
- reduces kidney stones
- lower blood pressure with potassium
- improves cardiovascular functioning
- reduces fatigue for restful sleep
Birch sap lightens the complexion 🧖🏻♀️
Birch sap has anti-oxidant properties. It indeed has a large quantity of salonium, which significantly slows down the aging of cells. It also contains copper, which allows free radicals to retain their antioxidant role.
The draining properties of birch sap also have a real influence on the quality of our complexion: as we have seen, it participates in the elimination of waste through sweat and sebum. This action contributes to natural hydration of the skin.
This is why birch sap is commonly used in cosmetics.
Birch sap is good for hair 💇🏻♀️
Birch sap is highly concentrated in B vitamins. Like brewer's yeast, it therefore contributes to hair growth and helps improve their health, strength and volume. It acts effectively against dandruff.
This concentration of biotin slows hair loss and promotes sebum regulation.
Consumption and cure of birch sap
Birch sap or birch water should be consumed in spring between the end of February and April due to the accumulation of toxins during the winter. This sweet-tasting liquid is drunk every morning on an empty stomach, pure or diluted in water.
By following a birch sap treatment, you will quickly notice the beneficial effects on your body. You will quickly observe a reduction in bloating and stomach aches, but also other very appreciable benefits.
For the sap cure to be fully effective, it must be consumed for 3 weeks.
The use of sap can also be used outside of spring, in cases of fatigue for example, but it is strongly recommended to respect the instructions so that the body regulates itself independently.

Nice discovery!
A great discovery for this natural product which I was a little apprehensive about taking and especially the taste. Ultimately, it goes pretty well in the morning on a fresh, empty stomach. I appreciate the measuring cup sold with it to easily take the right dose and the pretty packaging. The effects are felt just a few days after the start of the treatment, I highly recommend at each change of season!
Precautions for use and side effects
Birch sap is, in general, well tolerated by the human body, but it is however prohibited for consumption by certain people:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with allergies or suffering from kidney or heart disease
- Children under 12 years old
It is recommended that people under medical treatment seek the advice of their doctor.
Excessive consumption of birch sap can result in the appearance of nausea, diarrhea or allergic reactions. It is therefore recommended to respect the recommended dosage.
