Birch buds, when properly collected and stored under appropriate conditions, possess numerous beneficial properties.
Since ancient times, an infusion of birch buds has been consumed as a gentle and effective diuretic.
This plant significantly increases diuresis and is recommended for edemas of cardiac origin (though caution is advised if they are associated with kidney dysfunction).
Furthermore, birch bud infusion acts as an antiseptic, exhibits choleretic action, and has a positive effect on the liver.
