Birch is a natural painkiller. I also read it has a wintergreen flavor.

As a kid in Maine in the 70s I’d see “Kennebec Spruce Gum” sold at souvenir shopd, which were essentially balls of pine sap rolled in confectioners sugar. Awful stuff and likely just a way for Mainers to prank the tourists. Maybe it literally was the oldest trick in the book.

Ewww, the DNA of three people was found in the gum. They took turns chewing it.
