The plant: Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
The silver birch is a deciduous tree from the Betulaceae family, found throughout Europe and Western Asia. It can reach 25-30 metres in height and is easily recognised by its white-silver bark that peels off in thin layers, its hanging branches and its heart-shaped leaves with serrated edges.
The scientific name pendula means "hanging" and describes the tree's characteristic drooping branches. The birch holds strong symbolic significance in Northern European cultures, where it is traditionally associated with spring, renewal and new beginnings. Its white bark makes it unmistakable even in winter.
The leaves are harvested in late spring and early summer, when the active compound content is at its peak.
How to use

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why "pendula"?
The scientific name pendula means "hanging" in Latin and describes the characteristic drooping branches of the silver birch, which give it its elegant and unmistakable silhouette.
Is this the tree with the white bark?
Yes, Betula pendula is exactly the birch with the distinctive white-silver bark that peels off in thin layers. The white colour of the bark is caused by betulin, a natural compound found in birch bark.
What is birch sap?
Birch sap is a different liquid from the extract: it is collected in spring directly from the trunk of the tree. The hydroalcoholic extract, on the other hand, is obtained from the leaves through a 1:1 extraction process.
Can I use the extract daily?
Yes, birch extract is suitable for daily use. It is recommended to follow the indicated dosage (5-10 drops, twice daily).
How long does a bottle last?
It depends on dosage. With regular use of 10 drops twice daily, the 30 ml format lasts about 3-4 weeks. The 100 ml format lasts several months.
