Spring is here, time to shake off that Winter slumber. Spring brings renewed energies and vitality. So its off to the woods I go to harness these properties, in search of a Silver Birch tree to tap. Birch sap has many benefits. It is detoxifying, purifying and cleansing. Just what is needed after Winter. It has a diuretic and anti-inflammatory effect, helping to eliminate organic wastes such as uric acid and cholesterol. Birch sap contains minerals, vitamins and sugars as well as lots of vitality. Its important to make sure you have the right tree, so get to know your Silver Birch tree before you tap it. It’s a beautiful sunny spring day. Perfect for tapping as the sap is rising. Here are some photo’s of the tree I tapped.
