The word birch<\/i> (from Old High German bircha<\/i>) is due to a term in Indo-European<\/a> (*bherHgo<\/i>) and means as much as “shiny, shimmering” in allusion to the light bark (cf. still Middle High German bereht<\/i>, English bright<\/i>, -brecht<\/i> (as part of the name) “shining”). (Wiki)<\/p>\n The fascinating world of birch trees: they grow up to 30 meters high and start the first 20 years with a rapid growth of one meter per year before taking their time. The birch and especially the birch bark is used for many things (more<\/a>). The birch bark essential oil is obtained from the bark of the sugar birch (Betula lenta).<\/span><\/p>\n There are a total of 3 different types of essential oils that can be extracted from birch trees. <\/span><\/p>\n Birch oil should never be applied pure, as the oil has a strong irritant effect on our skin. In addition, this oil should only be applied to the skin in dilutions of less than 25% so that not too much of the salicylates can penetrate through the skin into the tissue. If you want to use the oil against dandruff or too dry scalp, you can simply add a few drops to your shampoo.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to take birch oil orally, it is recommended to mix it with some honey, as birch oil tastes very bitter. If you want to use birch oil as a classic fragrance oil, you can simply heat it in its pure form in a fragrance lamp or diffuser.<\/span><\/p>\n Main chemotypes: <\/strong>Methyl Salicylate, Ethyl Salicylate, 1,8-Cineole<\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong> Betula lenta Bark Oil<\/p>\n 5ml<\/p>\n BOTANICAL NAME: Betula lenta<\/p>\n ORIGIN: Steam distillation<\/p>\n PLANT PART: Bark<\/p>\n ORIGIN: France<\/p>\n CULTIVATION: Wild collection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"iawp_total_views":6},"pwb-brand":[1653],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[333,338],"product_tag":[2463],"class_list":{"0":"post-33692","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"pwb-brand-oshadhi-en","7":"product_cat-aromatherapie-en","8":"product_cat-aetherische-oele-en","9":"product_tag-eczema-skin-rashes-antirheumatic-uric-acid-dissolving-hair-growth-promoting-wound-healing","10":"pa_a-z-b-en","11":"pa_duftnote-head","12":"pa_duftprofil-balmy","13":"pa_duftprofil-refreshing","14":"pa_duftprofil-slightly-sweet","15":"pa_duftprofil-soft-mint-scent","16":"pa_element-water","18":"first","19":"instock","20":"taxable","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-simple"},"brands":[{"id":1653,"name":"Oshadhi","slug":"oshadhi-en"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/33692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33692"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=33692"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=33692"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=33692"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angeldar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=33692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
