Birch leaves are known to be very diuretic. They are used in general for "kidney detoxification", improving urine flow, and are helpful in inflammations and infections of the bladder. Rudolf Steiner points to a new application of Birch leaf extracts. He points out that in the young pale green leaves of the springtime birch there are fine healing proteinaceous processes going on that are the opposite of the heavy, "coagulating" protein processes occurring in the human body in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, gout and others. He also gives the indication that cold extracts of the birch leaves work more on hardening processes that occur in the head and nerves organization while preparations that have been boiled are more effective in the metabolism of the lower body. By mixing here the extracted mother tincture with its higher potencies, the birch leaf Pentas™ tincture becomes usable for both indications. From a planetary standpoint, birch is ruled by Venus.
