Can it be frozen?

Although freezing slightly changes its physical state and the chemical state of the minerals, it does not alter its benefits.
Why a cure?
The cure of sap, birch juice, or decoction of branches acts on three levels:
A preparatory level that rebalances dietary intake and provides nutrients (minerals, vitamins, and trace elements).
A decongestion level that corresponds to drainage and the release of emunctories (kidneys, liver, bladder, skin ...)
A stabilization level that corresponds to the return to the body's balance.
How to take the cures?
It is possible to do several per year.
To be effective, a cure of sap, birch juice, or decoction of branches should last three weeks as this is the time needed for cells to renew and the body to release toxins.
Take a glass (about 250 ml) each day, in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach for three weeks. Drink it preferably at room temperature.
There is no risk of overconsumption, but one glass is enough to enjoy the effects. Your body eliminates excess nutrients and minerals along with waste. For children and adolescents, doses are reduced.
If you wish to extend the cure, which is possible, it is advisable to take a two-week break between each three-week cure.
