Birch trees: natural remedy in your backyard

2 Locate a healthy birch tree, preferably not too close to the road. Take a gallon-size jar , and fill it up with birch leaves not too tightly, but not loosely either. Warm up about twelve cups of water without bringing it to a boil . When bubbles appear, the water is ready. Pour hot water into the jar with the leaves, and put it in a dark place. The birch leaf tea will become your medicine, your “liquid pill.” Leave there overnight. The next morning, filter out the infusion, and then store the liquid in the refrigerator in a glass or crystal container. But wait, don’t throw out the leaves just yet! I advise that you put the leaves in a large bowl, pour warm water over leaves and soak your feet for 30 minutes . After that throw away the leaves and the water you soaked your feet in. For the first month, drink at least 150 grams (5 to 6 oz.) of a birch leaf tea twice a day : in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening, waiting at least one hour after eating. After the first month, drink one glass of birch leaf tea in the evening as directed above. You may be making extra trips to the toilet, but this is the “elimination process,” so it is normal.
