The tender young birch leaves are extremely supply and contain valuable flavonoids which encourage secretion or elimination processes in the body, activating the kidneys to increase urine production, and stimulating the sweat glands to flush out toxins. These natural health benefits were recognised as early as 1826 by Nicholas Culpeper who says in his ‘Complete Herbal’: “The juice of the leaves, while they are young, or the distilled water of them, being drank for some days together, is available to break the stone in the kidneys and the bladder”.
The birch is traditionally linked to purification. Birch was the symbolic material for the rods used in corporal punishment in schools or for public flogging of young offenders, and the birch switch was used by flagellants for centuries to cleanse the soul.
Weleda’s Birch Juice is very appealing if you are embarking on a detox programme to cleanse the body of toxins accumulated over the winter which can lead to sluggishness, and to restore a radiant glow to your skin. This product is a favourite of supermodel Erin O’Connor, who is famous for her beautiful alabaster complexion.
Weleda’s certified organic Birch Juice (rrp 8.95 200ml) is a health supplement to help you detoxify and spring clean your body, healthily and naturally. It’s made with silver birch extract, without added sweeteners, and blended with refreshing lemon juice. As well as helping you rediscover your vitality, a detox programme also brings beauty benefits: cleansing your system purifies the complexion to leave skin clear and bright.
Weleda’s silver birch is grown in South Bohemia (Czech Republic) and gathered from certified collection. The fresh leaves are hand picked in late spring or early summer when the tree is in the strongest vegetative phase of the year. They are then gently air-dried in trays for a full five days, before being chopped and dispatched to Weleda where the juice is then extracted using a traditional pharmaceutical process known as decoction, to release the active substances.
Weleda’s Birch Juice is designed to provide specific health benefits in a sugar-free juice that is suitable for diabetics and vegans. The product is 100% organic and contains no artificial flavours, preservatives or other additives. It can be added to a glass of water as a healthy drink, or for maximum detox benefits add two table spoonfuls (30ml) to a bottle of mineral water to consume at regular intervals through the day. A three to six week course is recommended to help shed winter lethargy and improve vitality.
