The aroma of Sweet Birch is due to its high concentration of Wintergreen oil containing methyl salicylate, the plant substance from which aspirin was synthesized from. As Judith Berger says in Herbal Rituals, “The name wintergreen hint’s at the tree’s effectiveness as a transitional herb between winter and spring. The Black Birch assists us in locating within our own bodies the signs of spring which have been buried under the winter's landscape.” Sweet Birch supports us in many ways–I was called to distill them this season for their uplifting scent and capacity to help us both physically and energetically release the collective pain so many of us are feeling so strongly right now. Detailed info comes with order.
