Purchased Birch Sweet for use in a fall smudge and couldn't believe it when I opened it! Took me back to my aunt's tavern with Birch Beer on tap! Yummmy smell. Now I can't wait to use it in other creations for aches & pains. Thank you for the trip down memory lane! Keep selling wonderful products.

My rehabilitation clinic sees many work- and auto-injured patients that have long term (sometimes years) of chronic pain. We created a unique anti-inflammatory analgesic massage oil using Sweet Birch oil from NewDirections. The oil was such a success, that patients now buy the massage oil to use at home.

Wonderful minty type scent, and very useful in my sports-massage blend. Usually not recommended for aromatherapy as is toxic especially when undiluted, but quite handy for sore muscles. Great price and good quality.
