“Immortalized by the poet Samuel Coleridge as the Lady of the Woods, the birch tree -also known as cherry birch and sweet birch- has been celebrated throughout history as a symbol of spring and new beginnings. Among the many myths surrounding this ancient tree was the belief that flogging oneself with a birch branch before sunrise on Easter morning would ensure good health for the rest of the year. The birch’s powerfully aromatic leaves, sap, twigs, and bark are similar in taste and smell to wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) and share some of that plant’s healing properties. Rich in essential oils, saponins, and flavonoids, birch is taken internally as a tea made from the bark or leaves. It has excellent anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, diuretic, and antibacterial properties that are especially effective for treating the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, gout, and kidney stones. Birch oil and creams can be applied directly to swollen and painful joints and muscles.” (p.9)
