Brewing Recommendations:
Birch Sap is a potent and high-quality herbal infusion composed predominantly (three-quarters) of wild-harvested plants. This unique blend harnesses the natural synergy of horsetail (Equisetum arvense), birch (Betula pendula), and nettle (Urtica dioica) — herbs renowned for their numerous beneficial properties and long-standing traditional use in Mediterranean and Northern European herbal medicine.
Birch (Betula pendula): A quintessentially lunar plant thriving in cool, moist climates, especially abundant in Northern Europe. Birch leaves have been extensively studied for their supportive effects on the urinary tract and metabolic health. Scientific research confirms its role as a functional herbal beverage that promotes detoxification and well-being.
Nettle (Urtica dioica): A staple of Mediterranean herbal tradition, nettle grows in acidic, uncultivated soils. Though its fresh leaves are stinging, once dried or cooked, nettle provides a wealth of nutrients and bioactive compounds known to support glycemic control and overall vitality.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense): This marsh-growing plant is prized for its sterile shoots, harvested late summer. Its unique morphology reflects its ancient use in supporting the osteoarticular system. Clinical trials demonstrate its diuretic and antihypertensive effects, as well as its ability to stimulate urinary protein secretion.
Bearberry (Uva ursina): Though less prominent in this blend, bearberry leaves are traditionally used to promote urinary tract health and have been the subject of clinical studies for uncomplicated urinary infections.
We recommend preparing one liter of tisane to be consumed over the course of 10 days for sustained benefits. For a homemade infusion, use 15 to 20 grams of the herbal blend, adjusting based on body weight.
Brewing Recommendations:
- Bring water to a boil at 100° Celsius
- Add the herbal blend and infuse for approximately 10 minutes,
- keeping the container covered to preserve volatile beneficial compounds.
- Strain and transfer to a convenient bottle for daily consumption.
Cold Infusion Recommendations:
- Place 12 grams of the herbal blend in a liter of room temperature water.
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours (or up to overnight), then strain and enjoy.
- This method reduces bitterness while maximizing extraction.
Usage Recommendations:
For optimal effectiveness, combine the tisane intake with a balanced diet and moderate, consistent physical activity. We advise consuming the tisane plain, without added sugars or honey, although a splash of lemon can be a pleasant, natural complement especially in cold infusions.
Safety and Contraindications:
- Generally safe for healthy individuals when consumed within recommended dosages
- Individuals with hypertension or cardiovascular conditions, due to potential effects on blood pressure.
- Pregnant women, as it may pose risks to the fetus or cause miscarriage.
- Breastfeeding mothers, due to possible changes in milk quality or reduced production.
