Birch Oil Fun Facts

Birch trees have been used for many years in traditional Finnish saunas due to their aromatic and invigorating properties.

While there are more than 100 Betula species spread worldwide, approximately 7 distinct Betula species have been recorded for their historical uses.

Obtained through the dry distillation of birch tree bark, birch tar is thought to influence brainwave patterns upon inhalation, potentially playing a role in enhancing mental and spiritual well-being.

What is Birch Oil?

The Betula tree, commonly known as the birch tree, thrives in temperate and boreal climate zones in the northern hemisphere, but can also be found in South America. Initially cultivated for wood and practical uses, the bark of the tree was also used to extract Birch Essential Oil. Historically, this oil was commonly used for conditioning, preserving, and protecting leather and wood. 

Fast forward to today, Birch Oil has transitioned into a versatile remedy. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities may offer natural relief from discomfort, especially for sore muscles and joints. Its unique aromatic profile is sweet, bold, and invigorating, infusing the senses with an intense woodsy aroma. It can be easily mixed with creams for topical application and long-lasting fragrance, bringing a refreshing sensation to your skin.
