Since I started Nourished Life, I’ve been lucky enough to discover a whole new world of super foods and ingredients which I never even knew existed! One of my favourite recent finds is birch. While we all might be familiar with birch trees which are commonly used for furniture and floorboards, I was excited to find out that the sap extracted from birch trees as well as their leaves can be used to create products with amazing benefits for your skin and overall health and wellbeing! I thought I’d share a few of my favourite birch products so you can benefit from this super plant as much as I have been!

Birch’s anti-inflammatory properties may help aid digestion and restore balance and vitality. These detoxifying effects can also promote healthy liver and kidney function by helping to remove toxins and impurities stored in the body, leaving your skin glowing!

This Weleda juice is made by combining birch leaves and lemon juice, it’s that simple! You can drink it 2-3 times daily by mixing a tablespoon of the juice into a glass of water or cup of tea.

Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil



Cellulite is a natural part of ageing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take steps to minimise it!

Made from a unique combination of silver birch, natural plant oils and plant extract, this beautiful formulation may help stimulate your metabolism and tone your skin leaving it looking and feeling firm and supple, and can also reduce the appearance of cellulite. Results from a recent trial showed that when Birch Cellulite Oil was used twice daily over 28 days in combination with Birch Juice, skin was on average 25% firmer and noticeably smoother. Independent studies also reported an average measurable loss in thigh circumference of 3.5cms when using the Birch Cellulite Oil twice daily for 28 days! Now those are numbers you can’t argue with!
