Birch sap vs. birch juice: what are the differences?
Write the 10/05/2022 by Santarome Bio
Birch is a plant with detox effects recognized since the Middle Ages, which effectively contributes to intestinal well-being. Should we favor cures based on birch juice or birch sap? Birch juice is a little less concentrated in active ingredients than birch sap, but its effects are slightly different, in particular thanks to the flavonoids contained in the leaves. Discover the differences between birch sap and birch juice.
Understanding everything about birch sap
Birch grows in arctic lands, but also on poor, siliceous soils.
It flowers from April to May, and it is especially recognizable by its beautiful white bark. It can reach up to 40 meters high.
Rich in natural active ingredients, it is particularly recognized for its draining properties.
Organic birch sap travels through the tree from root to target in late winter, and it is harvested in spring; it is collected by cutting a bark from the tree.
Birch sap has been recognized for centuries for its many benefits:
🌿 First of all, it has a detoxifying action. It rids the body of toxins by stimulating the emunctory organs (intestine, kidney, liver), whose role is precisely to rid the body of accumulated waste. This detox influence helps cleanse the skin and improve digestion.
🌿 Furthermore, it slows down the aging of the skin, thanks to the numerous active ingredients it contains, which allow the body's cells to regenerate.
🌿 These active ingredients, like zinc and potassium, contribute to the proper functioning of the body and the fight against external aggressions. A birch sap cure is therefore an excellent reflex after winter
🌿 Birch sap also has a purifying action which helps cleanse the skin. It contributes to skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production.
🌿 Rich in vitamins, birch sap is an essential fitness ally, appreciated by athletes and people with a hectic lifestyle!
Please note, it is not recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding women avoid taking birch sap treatments without recommendation from their doctor.
Understanding everything about birch juice
Organic birch juice comes from the leaves of the tree, which are dissolved in boiling water.
Less concentrated in active ingredients than birch sap, the juice of the tree has nevertheless proven its many virtues, in particular as a slimming ally and to accompany diets.
Indeed, like birch sap, birch juice is particularly appreciated for its draining properties: it purifies the body and contributes to a general feeling of well-being.
It is therefore recommended to consume it at the end of the season, to accompany the change in weather and light.
If you wish to take a birch juice treatment to accompany your diet, we recommend that you favor a healthy and balanced diet at the same time.
Furthermore, birch leaves are rich in trace elements and flavonoids. These active ingredients help cleanse the skin and their purifying properties are recognized. Its use is, for example, ideal for cleansing acne-prone skin and helping to preserve the youthfulness of the skin.
Birch in food supplements
At Santarome Bio, we take particular care in harvesting our birch sap
The sap for our food supplements is harvested in Finland, using a process called tree to bottle. This process received the innovation prize in Finland. It allows sap to be harvested without any contact with the air.
The advantage of this method is twofold: firstly, the tree taken is not damaged by harvesting. On the other hand, the product is not oxidized. The qualities of our birch sap are therefore fully preserved.
It is recommended to consume 70 milliliters of birch sap per day for a week.
Santarome Organic birch juice meets the same quality requirements
Like many of our food supplements, we have chosen to mix it with a trio of buds to increase its effects tenfold. The buds contained in our birch juice are harvested by hand, organic, and wild.
🌱 Ash bud is a natural and active kidney stimulant, so it effectively complements the draining virtues of birch. It restores osteoarticular balance
🌱 Blackcurrant bud stimulates the adrenal glands and therefore has virtues against stress. It is also an effective drainer and a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Conclusion: In juice or sap, birch extract is excellent for purifying the body but also for boosting your immune defenses and improving the condition of your skin and hair. A course of Santarome Bio food supplements will allow you to obtain beneficial effects.
