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: Due to its high salicylate and methyl salicylate content, Sweet Birch Essential Oil should not be used on children, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
