Dandelion Digest Week 26 — Birch Edition by Everwood Botanicals
🍂 Dandelion Digest Week 26 — Birch Edition by Everwood Botanicals
The forest grows quieter now, the leaves thinned to lace and the air tinged with woodsmoke. Among the bare branches, birch stands luminous — a whisper of light against the darkening woods. Its white bark peels in soft curls like pages of memory, reminding us that there’s beauty in releasing what no longer serves. Beneath it all, dandelion roots still breathe in the soil’s depth, holding on to warmth that the rest of the world has forgotten.
🌿 Plant Spotlight: Birch
Birch embodies renewal. Its bark has long been used for gentle cleansing, teas, and infusions to soothe the skin and spirit alike. In herbal tradition, birch is the bridge between seasons — a symbol of endurance and purification, tender yet unwavering.
💧 Hydrating Salve
Our Hydrating Salve, infused with Wisconsin dandelion and local beeswax, captures that same quiet resilience. Massage a little into your hands or cheeks after time outdoors, and let its warmth linger as the wind grows cooler.

🍃 Seasonal Tip
Gather a few birch twigs or small branches for your home. Place them in a simple jar or tied bundle — their pale, papery bark brightens dark corners and reminds us that light still lives in quiet places.
🌼 Dandelion Note
Though unseen, dandelion continues its work underground, storing the sun’s energy through the winter. Like birch, it doesn’t resist the season’s change — it simply adapts, waiting patiently for the warmth that will rise again.
