Tree Tuesday: Healing Mystical Birch

#treetuesday is a tag inspired by @old-guy-photos.

<center>My tree is a stately birch.
Tall, white and slender.
Not to be broken,
Will only bent in the wind
The green leaves turn gold
 Drop off in winter’s cold
The cycle begins agin.
Buds in the spring.</center>

<br>
The properties of the birch tree are numerous. 

Like most trees it can be used for firewood and the birch tree is a major factor in taking pollution out of the environment.

The bark can be used  for writings  and drawings. Birch bark is strong like papyrus. Native tribes,  who did not have a written language, recorded important events in pictorial form on sheets of birch bark.

Many parts of the tree were used in ancient medicine. i will name a few.

**Birch trees have healing properties:**

 * Drink the sap from the birch to flush out toxins from the body. The tree should only be tapped for sap in the warm spring.

 * Fungi (mushrooms) that grow on birch trees are traditionally used for many illnesses including cancer.

 * The bark has in it a similar element (methyl salicylate) to aspirin and can be used for headaches and migraines.

The lovely white bark of the birch tree adds beauty to the landscape. This group of trees are at the edge of my lawn.

<br>
Lastly,  I have a photo of a birch tree with what looks like a face in the circle on the bark where a limb may have been.

 I took the photo on a friend’s lawn. It looked a bit mystical to me.

Thanks Icy!  We have so many plants and trees willing to help heal us right in our yards. 
I do love the white color of the birch especially when the landscape looks so barren in winter.

I find this post very much Enjoyable and informative 😃 a lot  of information I did not previously know. Although every year I tapped birch 🌳  trees which is a very Exciting time for me. But it Is  long process To give you some understanding - For a maple tree Roughly  40-50 gallons of maple sap gives you 1 gallon of maple syrup, while birch 🌳 it is 100 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. I do plan on making a post on this in  the future

@redheadpei · Nov 15 '18

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments @enosh. Yes it is a long process to boil the maple sap down into maple syrup but for health benefits you could drink the birch sap fresh from the tree.
I look forward to seeing your post on making the maple syrup. 🍁
