BIRCH Betula alba (USA)

*CAUTION: P, S, E

This oil has a fragrance much like Wintergreen. Said to be a remedy for aches and pains, cystitis, water retention and cholesterol. It also used for many skin ailments such as eczema. The oil is pale yellow and has a fresh balsam fragrance. If the oil was derived from crude birch tar it is brownish in color and has a "leathery" fragrance. Consumers should check the botanical name as Sweet Birch (Betula lenta) is potentially toxic and should not be used by an amateur.

Stimulating and warming

TIP: Blend with other wood oils
