Birch is one of the oldest trees in Northern Europe, and is also widespread in Western Asia. It is a majestic, slender, early-budding tree. Its twigs already played an important role in mythology, as they were believed to awaken love. In Celtic cultures, birch symbolizes growth, renewal, stability, dedication and adaptability, as it is highly adaptable and is able to grow even in adverse environmental conditions. Proof of its adaptability is its rapid ability to repopulate areas damaged by forest fires or clearings. Among Nordic peoples, birch buds are a symbol of the renewal of life force, in Russia it is considered the basis of health and is widely used as a traditional elixir of life rich in minerals.
