Birch leaves.. 🍃

🙋‍♂️Hi my friends..

Every year before Easter, we have a habit of cutting a few birch twigs.. We put them in water and in two weeks it looks like this.. 

In a few days, the children will hang Easter eggs on them (they gradually make them at home.. Nice, what do you think?😊)

And now that I've already boasted about how clever my children are 😁🤭, I'll get to the point...

Have you knew about great health benefits of birch leaves??🍃

They contain vitamins, minerals, tannins, essential oils and substances with an antibiotic effect.. 

🍃A decoction of these leaves has significant diuretic effects - it promotes urination, but does not burden or irritate the kidneys. Therefore, the decoction is useful for those who suffer from kidney and urinary stones. Among diuretics, birch is recommended for cleansing and treating the urinary system..

🍃It can also help in the fight against rheumatism, as the decoction promotes salt excretion. The healing power can also be demonstrated for joint or muscle pain. In addition to the decoction, you can also use birch oil to rub painful joints, skin or muscles..

🍃It also supports hair growth..

🍃So you can prepare tea, hair wrap or oil and use it almost for free for few health benefits..

💡Science is constantly bringing new knowledge, but I think that people in the past had tremendous knowledge and many of them can be considered scientists with the ability to use the power of nature.. What do you think??

All photos are mine but I used some help about informations from this source..
