What Are the Benefits of a Birch Sap Cleanse?

he birch tree is a tall, slender, and resilient tree with cracked bark. It thrives in cold regions and damp forests, reaching heights of up to 30 meters! For thousands of years, its sap has been extracted for its medicinal benefits. In the 12th century, Saint Hildegard of Bingen recommended it as a remedy to soothe ulcers — those deep wounds that form in the stomach or intestines. Later, its healing properties were recognized for supporting bladder and kidney health, skin conditions, rheumatic ailments, and other chronic diseases.

In short, birch sap is a little miracle elixir.
Today, it’s praised for being detoxifying, purifying, regenerating, and rich in minerals — making it a favorite among those looking to boost their overall health.

We’re giving you all the tools you need to take action!

Detox cures are best done during seasonal transitions. As for birch sap, you’ll need to wait for spring — when the sap begins to rise!
The sap is collected using small tubes inserted into the tree, all connected to direct the liquid into large, airtight collection bags. Once filled, these bags are transferred into vacuum-sealed containers.
This method is the best way to preserve the precious liquid, keeping it as fresh and pure as possible, without harming the tree in the process.

While some may prefer other detox cures, fresh birch sap remains one of the most effective for eliminating toxins accumulated throughout the year.
It helps flush out harmful substances from food, air, water, medications, and even emotional stress. Birch sap acts on the body’s five emunctories — the organs responsible for eliminating metabolic waste:

1. Lungs
Birch sap helps cleanse the respiratory tract and supports lung health — especially after a sedentary winter period often marked by respiratory infections.

2. Liver
The liver is the body’s main detox organ! Birch sap promotes liver regeneration and acts as a natural drain. It purifies the blood and stimulates bile production — the thick, bitter fluid secreted by the liver — supporting digestion and fat elimination.

3. Skin
It purifies the skin from within, often helping to reduce skin issues like acne. Thanks to its high mineral content, it also supports skin hydration and elasticity. After a birch sap cleanse, the skin often appears brighter and smoother!

4. Intestines
The intestines eliminate food waste. Birch sap, with its mild diuretic and laxative properties, helps regulate digestion and improve intestinal transit. It can ease constipation, promote regularity, and reduce bloating.

5. Kidneys
Our natural filters! The kidneys eliminate toxins through urine. Birch sap stimulates urine production, helping to flush out waste more effectively. It also reduces water retention while supporting overall kidney health.

Depending on your individual needs, a birch sap cleanse can last from 1 to 3 weeks, with a daily dose of about 70 ml — preferably in the morning on an empty stomach to maximize its benefits.
Santarome’s birch sap — carefully harvested in Finland — is 100% pure and fresh, and must be stored in the refrigerator.

Some people choose to complement the cleanse with herbal teas or dietary supplements to further support detoxification.
Be mindful to avoid processed, heavy, or greasy foods during this period! For an effective cleanse, it’s best to focus on a diet rich in minerals, antioxidants, and fiber — think leafy greens, berries, and raw vegetables. And don’t forget to stay hydrated: drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day will help your kidneys work efficiently and flush out toxins.

Another tip: relax and allow your body to do its work peacefully. And get moving! Go for a run, take a walk… Moving helps oxygenate your lungs and skin through both breathing and sweating.
