\r\n Discover below the benefits of birch. One of the plants used during \r\n detox cures.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Focus on: the birch\r\n <\/h2>\r\n

\r\n In Northern Europe, after the icy bath that follows the sauna, we hit \r\n ourselves with birch branches (yards) to regenerate the body, tone it \r\n up, revitalize it.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Betula alba<\/em> is a tree that is widespread in cold regions.It belongs \r\n to the Armentae, plants whose flowers are arranged in catkins and \r\n reduced to a scale covering stamens and pistil.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n These catkins are cylindrical, yellow.The fruit is a winged achene.The \r\n trunk of the tree is white, grey, ashy.The bark is smooth and peels off \r\n in thin strips.The leaves are triangular, acute.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Birch is particularly beneficial\r\n <\/h2>\r\n

\r\n It contains:\r\n <\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  • \r\n Betulin (up to 14%) resin also known as birch camphor.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Xylitol, also known as birch sugar, a non-cariogenic carbohydrate.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Betuloside (heteroside substance), pro-vitamin A, vitamin C.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Phytosterin, pentosans, saponins, tannins, enzymes.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc.\r\n <\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n

    \r\n It is a powerful depurative, the initial act of the restoration of \r\n health, a DETOX<\/strong> to be carried out at each change of season.Besides \r\n the birch is nicknamed the tree of wisdom<\/em>.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

    \r\n The actions of birch on the body\r\n <\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n
    • \r\n Diuretic<\/strong>, stimulating urinary excretion.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
    • \r\n Laxative<\/strong>, accelerates intestinal transit.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
    • \r\n Cholagogue<\/strong>, facilitates liver function.\r\n <\/li>\r\n
    • \r\n Expectorant<\/strong>, to thin bronchial mucus.\r\n <\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n

      \r\n Side effects of L-Carnitine\r\n <\/h2>\r\n

      \r\n Like everything else, L-Carnitine supplementation has side effects when \r\n taken in high doses.It can cause nausea to vomiting, abdominal cramps or \r\n diarrhoea, headaches, liver and kidney dysfunction or strong body odour.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

      \r\n Green tea, the natural L-carnitine\r\n <\/h2>\r\n

      \r\n Green tea is considered to be one of the best fat burners, and for good \r\n reason, it does not affect the muscles.It contains a lot of virtues such \r\n as the amino acids lysine.The latter play an important role in the \r\n functioning of the immune system; but also, in cohesion with other amino \r\n acids, in the synthesis of proteins and the manufacture of muscle cells.\r\n <\/p>\r\n
