arthritis<\/a>, edema, and rheumatism. While the oil can help soothe these conditions when topically applied, the properties in the oil help remove toxins from the body, which are often the root of these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow To Make This Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to fill a clean glass jar with birch leaves that are green and look fresh; you don\u2019t want wilted, brown, or diseased leaves. Make sure there is about a half-inch of room at the top of the jar. Cover the leaves in extra virgin olive oil and remove any air bubbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tightly wrap a piece of cheesecloth, or some breathable cloth, over the top of the jar and secure it with a rubber band instead of closing it with a lid. Place the jar in a sunny window and let the healing properties infuse for about one month. Strain the oil into another glass jar and store in a dark cabinet. It is very important to avoid direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Whenever your muscles or joints are sore, dip your fingers in the oil and massage the affected area. After massaging the sore muscles, let the body rest and relax. This should help decrease any soreness. Repeat as necessary.<\/p>\n
