Thanks for sharing this !

[@surgineramy]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. My father has bad arthritis, I will find some birch and make for him.

[@cbaparis8449]

This is video is lovely. What a wonderful woman thank you

[@Chinomop]

Lovely, extremely interesting as Zylitol sweetener is made from birch and this is good stuff to stop bad bacteria from thriving......this is probably similiar but requires much less processing. Someone else asked do you boil it or steep it? it would be good to know.

[@030164tina]

Thanks for your wisdom.

Make use of Oak Bark to treat Diarrhea and cicatrization
Astringent, oak is of great help in cases of diarrhea. It promotes the healing of certain wounds (For example Weeping Eczema or chapped skin )

[@skylovecraft2491]

Every plant and tree has it's purpose. So many medicines are all around us. We just need to learn how to use them.

[@missa8277]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your beautiful knowledge & wisdom. 🙏🏻❤️ so grateful to find these videos. Sending lots of love from my heart to yours positive energy always. 🙏🏻❤️🌎🥰

[@meliplay]

Could you please do a teaching on wild lettuce?

[@carathorsven3326]

I like how she tells what kind of people the medicine is for not listing a bunch of symptoms or diseases.

[@blessedamerican3541]

This is very interesting. My sister has many different medicinal trees on her property. I always felt as though the Indians had planted them.

[@dorianharmon7714]

this is so interesting I will try it very soon! Is this comparable to Chaga as far as medicinal benefits? We love Zylatol and were amazed it comes from birch,too. We have plenty of dried 'BOB', bracket on birch that we've dried and make tea, too. Thank you so much for this and I can't wait to learn more from Bertha Skye.

[@josieflores3843]

Thanks! I would like to know how much birtch to water, is it boiled or steeped, how much to take & how often. Much appreciated

[@pstaceyscott-durso1715]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about cedar. It was very informative.

[@AnonymousXIII]

Thank you very much for this interesting information; I have some questions though. Can children drink it? And what about dosage; a glass that size, is that a single serving? And how frequently can it be taken? Are there any side effects?

[@getagecko]

Yes it is safe for children, the dosage for adults is 5-6 shavings per cup and basically use as needed. For children the same dose but 1 cup spaced over a day.

The active ingredient in the bark is salicin that is same as aspirin. Aspirin has its downsides so do your research before administering much of it.

Meegwetch for sharing your knowledge with us I make this promise that I will make a tobacco offering in thanks for what I take from Turtle Island......Signed a Non-Nish

[@ruinsane100]

Thank you for this info. Can this medicine be extracted from all varieties of birch trees?

[@Abspro50]

Awesome!!! Love this

[@johnmurrin9734]

does it matter what time of year that i harvest it?

[@edwardsouth1711]

Wish you would have included the quantity of water vs quantity of inner bark per glass?

[@markeverson5849]

I'm currently living in the Ozarks in southern Missouri and there are no birch trees here I missed the north of Michigan and the upper peninsula and Wisconsin where I was raised is there a substitute tree that I can use that's just as good as the birch that grows in the south

[@Ленад-е1ш]

Thank you :-* :-* :-* :-* very interesting :-* BLESS GOD YOU :-*

[@ThePrettymosquito]

I really want to try some of this birch.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

[@louie3272]

[@flowergirl5962]

Gch’ märsi Elder Bertha! ♥️

[@marilynroberts6644]

can someone tell me how much powder would be used for a tea. ( not bark pieces ) ??

[@vidalcuervo8257]

hello does anybody know which species of birch she is showing (in Europe we don't have quite the same and i'd like to know if they have the same properties). Thanks

[@matthewmaxcy1574]

Would be the yellow birch. If you smell wintergreen on the small end of branches when you break it off smell or chew it a d if its wintergreen smell/taste you use it, also can boil twigs leaves and buds, they make soda from this also birch beer soda its my favorite.also the maine one to find is tge sweet birch aka black birch.. thats the better one that she holds.

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

This was the way my Grandmother would teach me... She used to share with me certain things. He would always ask her, Irene, what are you feeding that boy ???
