Harvesting the sap in spring 🌻

Santarome's Pure Organic Birch Sap 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, the birch sap retains all its qualities.

The season for harvesting birch sap is spring. Birch trees rest during the winter, and during the summer and autumn, they replenish their stores of nutrients and minerals. Spring is therefore the ideal time to take a birch sap treatment.

Birch sap is harvested by drilling a deep hole in the bark and using a pipe to extract the liquid. Once the harvest is complete, the hole must be sealed to allow the tree to heal and be ready for the next harvest.

Birch sap, an effective detox ally 🍋

For a detox cleanse , organic birch sap is an excellent ally. It is particularly valued for its draining and cleansing properties, which contribute to the body's well-being.

To use it optimally, it is advisable to consume it at the time of seasonal changes : the body is put under severe strain during the winter period and particularly needs to be freed of its toxins.

In this context, if you feel bloated and have difficulty digesting , a birch sap treatment will do you a world of good. By stimulating the body's elimination organs (kidneys, lungs, liver , blood, and skin), birch sap deeply cleanses the body and rids it of all impurities .

This ability to promote a healthy balance of gut flora is the main quality of birch sap, and the reason why it is most commonly consumed. Birch sap is indeed very rich in trace elements and minerals , such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. These active ingredients work to detoxify and stimulate the body.

More generally, birch sap is particularly rich in vitamin B , making it an excellent supplement for remineralizing the body. It is therefore very suitable for older people whose muscles need more hydration, as well as for high-level athletes.

Consumption and use of birch sap

Birch sap, or birch water, should be consumed in the spring, between late February and April, due to the accumulation of toxins during the winter. This sweet-tasting liquid is drunk every morning on an empty stomach, either neat or diluted in water.

By following a birch sap treatment, you will quickly notice its beneficial effects on your body. You will soon observe a reduction in bloating and stomach aches, as well as other very noticeable benefits.

For the sap cure to be fully effective, it must be consumed for 3 weeks.

The use of sap can also be employed outside of spring, in cases of fatigue for example, but it is strongly recommended to follow the instructions so that the body can self-regulate autonomously.

What a lovely discovery!

A wonderful discovery! I was a little apprehensive about taking this natural product, especially considering the taste. But it actually goes down quite well, especially chilled on an empty stomach in the morning. I appreciate the measuring cup included for easy measurement and the attractive packaging. The effects are noticeable just a few days after starting the course, and I highly recommend it with each change of season!
