Birch AlcoholFree Liquid Extract Birch Betula Alba Dried Bark Glycerite 2 oz

The birch is a soft-wood tree native to cold, northerly climates. The name is a very ancient one, probably derived from the Sanskrit bhurga, meaning "tree whose bark is written upon". Native Americans used it in many facets of their everyday lives as a material for canoes, wigwams, scrolls, ritual art, musical instruments, containers for food, and even clothing. Birch bark has been quite valuable since pre-historic times for its applications in building and crafting. Birch leaves are used for medicinal purposes.
