Aromatherapy with Birch essential oil

Birch and Wintergreen essential oils have the same therapeutic actions, and virtually the same chemical compositions. Though as much of the Wintergreen oil made today is produced on a mass scale, we're offering this wonderful true Adirondack Sweet Birch Bark essential oil. Use as you would Wintergreen oil in your formulas. We enjoy the aroma of the Sweet Birch more than the Wintergreen, as it offers a bit more complexity in this sweet, bright scent.



Antidepressant & Stimulant: Birch Oil is stimulant by nature. It stimulates nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system and the excretory system. It also stimulates the endocrinal glands resulting in more secretions of enzymes and hormones etc. This can play a beneficial role in diseases associated with improper secretion of hormones such as, diabetes, where the enhanced insulin production will help lower the blood sugar level.

 Analgesic & Antispasmodic: It is helpful in reducing pains of joints, muscles, headache, toothache etc. It is also anti spasmodic and relieves cramps.

Caution: The essential oil of Birch, being made up almost exclusively of methyl salicylate, a precursor to common aspirin; Birch should NOT be used by people who are allergic to aspirin. Further, Birch should NEVER be ingested, and only used topically in dilutions of 25% or less to limit the transdermal absorption to safe levels. The salicylates pass through the skin, entering the tissues to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

 
Birch Essential oil gives you the feeling of strength, warmth and vitality. It is ideal for use in extremely cold climates.

This is one for least expensive essential oils, you and Under $10 per ounce. Only use this essential under the guidance of a Certified Aromatherapist.

Have a great Monday,
