Birch Essential Oil

Description

Native to Canada and the United States, Birch trees can grow up to 75 feet in height. Its peeling bark provides powerful therapeutic benefits, making birch essential oil highly valued and sought-after. Similar to Wintergreen, Birch has a sweet, spicy, and minty aroma that can be detected in toothpaste, gum, and sore muscle applications - to name some of its many uses.

Birch is very effective in promoting circulation, making it ideal for massage therapy and to soothe sore joints and muscles. Diffusing and inhaling Birch supports clear airways and breathing while stimulating the mind and enhancing Focus. Birch can be applied topically and is beneficial and purifying the skin and maintaining a clear, healthy complexion.

Sourcing pure, unadulterated Birch essential oil is difficult, so historically it’s only been available in small volumes. After a long time diligently searching, doTERRA has partnered with a Pennsylvanian family to sustainably produce pure Birch essential oil. This family has even kept generational records of their expertise, making it possible to offer Birch permanently.
