After an entire year of supporting solely my nervous system with Gemmotherapy extracts , I began the journey towards optimizing elimination pathways and supporting my kidneys . Order is of importance when working with the body . Each body is distinct and different in regard to when one is ready to move on from the nervous system , to then look at elimination . Silver birch sap was the first extract I worked with , which is not a true gemmo because it is sap ( as opposed to the buds and shoots ) , and does not contain meristem cells . It does have its own gifts to share . Although it can be chosen , or choose us at any time of year … the winds of spring feels especially appropriate . The resurrection of life after a season of fertile stillness . An awakening from below , the flow of the earths fluids rising . New life emerges expressed through beauty and organic purging , carrying the growing light forth.
It is as if the channels inside are dilated slightly , and a cool , clear almost breezy rain begins to wash through in an upward direction . Peaking at its heaviest density , and very gently shifting to a delicate mist .
Clearing away what no longer belongs .
A new clarity in the lungs is now felt , with a subtle tender note of sadness . Pristine, crystalline dew drop, soft and tender sadness . Not heavy, sticky , dense , nor attached . Simply there, unadorned , beautifully present and pure… uncontrived. How wonderful to be , and then not be … as the experience evaporates with as much ease and grace as it’s arrival . I also find myself hungrier.
Silver Birch Sap improves elimination on a cellular level and it is a tonic primarily for the kidneys . Though vitality of the organism must be able to tolerate some pushing of the system … it has strong diuretic qualities. Not necessarily is there an increased volume of urine , but more concentrated waste is present. One result of improved elimination of waste is an increased metabolism . Chronic dry skin and hair issues including eczema have the potential to be resolved with the assistance of Silver Birch sap.
