What is the use of Birch sap and why else did our Grandmothers always drink it?
At the mention of birch sap, memories from childhood come back. Then it was universally accepted in early spring, when the snow had not yet completely melted, to collect this unique natural gift.
This has been done since ancient times, and this experience has been passed down from generation to generation. Without any scientific knowledge, our grandparents were sure of the benefits of this drink for the human body.
Ancestral knowledge
The collection of the juice lasted for a short period of time, less than a month. We drank it with the whole family every day, enjoying the pleasant taste. The surplus of the drink was canned by adding sugar, raisins and lemon zest. In this form, they kept it in a dark place and continued to use it.
People have known about the healing properties of juice for a long time. Where this knowledge came from, it became clear to me after many years.
As a child, I did not think why my grandmother, who had been ill all winter, suddenly became animated.
It was after the daily use of juice that she was again lively and cheerful. Her gait became firm and confident, despite the fact that she had sore joints.
And all of her was transformed, even the wrinkles on her face became less noticeable. Now I understand that positive changes in her health were due to the invaluable composition of the juice.
Beneficial features
Now this unique gift of nature is well studied. Everyone knows how rich and varied its composition is and how much benefit it brings to a person.
When consumed regularly, it has a positive effect on all bodily functions, including:
• helps fight viruses and infection;
• strengthens the nervous system;
• improves cardiac activity;
• removes toxins;
• normalizes the production of hormones;
• helps dissolve stones and remove them from the body.
The large mineral composition contained in birch sap not only helps to fight vitamin deficiency, but also has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, hair, skeletal system, regulates metabolism, evens out water balance.
The juice contains a lot of easily digestible sugars useful for brain function. It also contains various enzymes and biological stimulants that increase the immunity of our body.
Now I understand why our grandmothers necessarily drank this unique natural gift, not possessing modern knowledge at all. Nature itself helped them fight diseases, be always energetic and find the necessary miraculous means for this.
