FAQ
Birch Tincture is a natural herbal preparation made from birch leaves (Betula pendula), prepared using the traditional cold maceration method. This process allows a broad spectrum of naturally occurring plant compounds to be extracted slowly and thoroughly, helping preserve the plant’s natural balance and character.
We use a carefully selected alcohol content of 35%, specifically suited to the plant, allowing effective extraction of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds. This ratio supports the stability of the preparation while preserving the gentle, balanced character associated with birch leaves.
The birch leaves are either grown on our farm or ethically gathered in unspoilt natural surroundings. The plants are organically grown and carefully harvested by hand at the time when they are at their most vibrant.

Birch (Betula pendula)
Birch is a tree of light, gentleness and movement. With its white bark, graceful branches and delicate leaves, it almost seems to embody spring itself – bringing a sense of freshness, airiness and new beginnings. In folk tradition, birch has often been associated with cleansing, springtime, youth and a sense of flow.
It belongs to the birch family (Betulaceae). The leaves are most commonly used in herbal preparations, which is why the botanical designation Betula pendula Roth, folium is often used. The leaves are the part of the tree that perhaps best captures the fresh, gentle and distinctive character of birch.
Birch is also fascinating because it is among the first trees to truly come alive after winter. While the forest is still awakening, birch is already filled with light, sap and movement. In many parts of Europe, it was regarded as a tree of renewal. Birch branches were once used to decorate homes, courtyards and doorways, as they were believed to bring fresh energy, protection and fertility. In folk tradition, birch was often a symbol of youth, femininity and renewed vitality.
Traditionally, birch is used during periods when people wish to support a feeling of lightness, flow and inner balance. It is often associated with springtime herbal routines, a sense of freshness in the body and periods when people wish to support the body’s natural processes of elimination and gentle cleansing. Its character is soft yet clear – rather than feeling heavy, birch is associated with movement, flow and the sense that things can begin to move freely again.
In traditional herbal use, birch is also associated with supporting the kidneys, urinary tract, liver and digestion, as well as with periods when the body needs help eliminating excess water. People often turn to birch when looking for a plant associated with lightness, clarity and inner freshness. Perhaps this is why birch remains one of those quintessential spring plants – almost a living symbol of cleansing, renewal and a fresh beginning.

Should I drink more water while taking birch?
Yes, this is a good idea. Birch is traditionally associated with supporting the natural movement and elimination of fluids in the body, so adequate water intake is an important part of the overall routine. Drinking water regularly helps support the body’s natural elimination processes and maintain a sense of lightness.
Can birch help with the feeling of heavy legs?
Birch is traditionally used during periods when there is a feeling of fluid retention or heaviness in the body. It is often combined with other herbs or herbal preparations that together support a greater sense of lightness and flow in the legs.
Can I take birch in the evening?
Birch can also be taken in the evening, although many people prefer taking it in the morning and earlier in the day. Because it is traditionally associated with the movement and elimination of fluids, taking it later in the evening may be less convenient for some people. It is therefore best to listen to your body and adjust the timing to suit your own routine.
