Many elements that exist in nature can be transferred into oil. As long as the element has healing or therapeutic properties, it can be transformed easily into oils for a myriad of different uses. Birch oil comes directly from the birch on specific trees and has surprising health-related qualities. Birch types are from predominately deciduous trees and go by the names of Black Birch, Cherry Birch or Sweet Birch. The primary health benefits attributed to birch essential oil are that it is a stimulate, disinfectant, antiseptic, astringent, antidepressant, insecticide and a diuretic. Listed below are several of the ways to use birch oil and some of its powerful effects.
Disinfectant And Antiseptic
These are probably two of the most imperative properties of the oil. This oil has natural amounts of both methyl salicylate and salicylic acid, which are used in many bactericides and germicides. This means that many of the antibacterial products you buy in the store likely have those two key ingredients. The bad part about that though is that other harmful and unsafe ingredients are also included in those products. But not birch oil. This 100% natural oil derived from trees can protect the skin from both fungal and bacterial infections.
Stimulate And Antidepressant
Naturally a stimulant, birch oil is used for a plethora of different issues where the excretory, circulatory, digestive or nervous system may need a boost. What's great about this oil is that boost can be obtained in a natural way - not through medication or pharmaceuticals that drain your pocket and can potentially become habit forming. The properties within the oil contain essential hormones and enzymes that can be used to promote stimuli in sluggish systems. It has also been used in those who suffer with diabetes as it helps to increase insulin production and balance out blood sugar levels.
Tonic And Astringent
For generations this oil has been used on the skin as an effective toner. When used as an external application in small doses, it's even been proven to eliminate wrinkles and tighten skin that has begun to sag. Because of its effective astringent qualities, it can be incorporated into daily facial care routines in order to see a difference in the face's appearance after using it with consistency.
Insecticide
One thing about many essential oils is that they commonly have specific properties that insects find displeasing and even deadly. Eliminating bugs in the home can be incredibly tiresome and frustrating, especially when all you have to choose from are those harmful, chemically-laced bug repellants available in stores. This offers you a natural alternative. Try using several drops of birch oil and water in a bottle and spraying all affected areas of the home or space. You'll start seeing bugs less and less.
Diuretic
The components found within birch oil, betulenol and betulene actual promote urination. This allows the detoxification of the body to happen at a quicker rate. It also promotes digestion and has been linked to helping people lose weight as well. Urination assists in the prevention of kidney stones and painful health ailments such as arthritis and gout.
