Ladies, if you get pine resin or any tree resin on your skin all you need to use is olive oil. Put a little olive oil on the resin rub it well. The oil breaks down the resin, wipe off with a paper towel or leave it and let it do its medicinal stuff. Works wonders. 😊

When I was in school for Dietetic Technician degree, the book The Profession of Dietetics, 6th edition. They go over some of the history of vitamin deficiencies. In 1747 the earliest known clinical trial was from Dr. James Lind. He did an experiment with 12 men with scurvy on the way from England to Plymouth. He divided the men into groups of 2 and had 6 different concoctions he gave them. The group that used lemons & oranges recovered immediately and helped nurse the others. That lead to the discovery of Vitamin C deficiency and a cure for scurvy. 💛💚🧡 🤓

My neighbor used White Pine Needle Tea to assist her Son, who has autism, to advance more than he probably would have without it. He is now 27, has a job at a welding company, and drives himself to and from that job. He still can not verbally express himself without assistance but is doing amazingly better than others who have autism. and has been driving a vehicle

Yes Yes YES!! I've been harvesting White Pine needles since winter of 2021. I grew up in Maine (the Pine Tree state) and after all this time, I was praying, and one day in the cold middle of the winter in Maine, the Holy Spirit spoke to me when I was recovering from the c-19 and I heard very subtly to go to the backyard and harvest pine needles. I made a tea that afternoon and ever since i've been harvesting pine needles! Just filled a jar yesterday! 5 needles per cluster! An oil would be awesome to make! So fun ladies! Nice work. Thank you for all your inspiration and help! 💚🌲💚

There is a stand at the farmers market selling white pine infused honey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to rekindle the passion for herbs inside me!

I love white pine needle tea. I have found it's best if you boil the water then let it sit for a few minutes before pouring it onto the needles. Let the tea steep for 8 to 10 minutes then drink it. Remember boiling water will always make things more bitter and it will destroy some of its health benefits. Love your videos

Loblolly Pine is what I use in tea. It is such a beautiful citrus taste. However, I’m not sure if I love pine needle tea with honey or honey tea with pine needles infused. 😂 We love the pine needles with their Shikimic acid for anti parasitic, vitamin C. My research shows it is one of the most important herbs on earth. It is my favorite ❤

@The Honeystead pour sugar on your hands and it will cut the sap. Learned that from a woodsman.

Check out the Canadian history. The information I have found is from the captain of a ship from first settlers. I’m paraphrasing. The native people prescribed white pine tea for the sailors when their teeth began to loosen and bleed from scurvy. Reputedly, the reversal happened in a matter of weeks and the gums firmed up around the teeth.

The key to pine needle tea is not to boil them. Boil water yes, but then take it off the burner b4 adding needles & allow at least 10 min of steeping. Its much more palletable & u dont make it like a concentrate & end up pouring it out. Its an old remedy where im from in east texas. Many benifits. It clears brain fog too. ❤️🎯 Thank you, ladies, i love ur channel! Ive learned so much! Heres my 2 cents for what its worth. 😁💕

I make a tea using white pine needles, birch twigs (the flexible young ones), and narrow leaf plantain (with a helping of healing honey) whenever someone in the fam starts getting a cold or has allergies that're straying into a possible infection. A couple cups a day works wonders in those cases.

Earthing! Xx

I didn't know that people didn't know this one. I used to stick pine needles with my coffee grounds in a French press. There many teas one can make if on survival, Mints, cleavers, pines.

QUESTION: I am very curious as to why you cover it with cheese cloth rather than a solid lid? Also is it not necessary to shake the jar once a day? Perhaps I am confusing this with making a tincture. Personal note: I LOVE watching you and your precious mother work together. It so reminds me of the wonderful moments I spent in the kitchen / garden / walking country roads with my dear mother.

I love pine needle tea!! I first ordered it during the cV19 & i was surprised that it came powdered!! I use 1/2tsp per cup of hot water. Its such a mild flavor that i sometimes add it to whatever tea im drinking 😊 Its very high in shikimic acid which is why they used it for tamiflu (they synthetically copied it in lab to reproduce it). Ive heard they either dont make it or you cant get it anymore. Pine needles have 5x MORE vit.C than oranges!!! Works great in a honey lemon syrup. I may even do an onion syrup with that

I’m having trouble finding White Pine in Australia. I’d love to find an equivalent native but so far - no luck. I do have a small potted Moringa tree which I’m waiting on being big enough to harvest some for tea, and to dry for powder.

I knew about and drink the tea and recently read about the resin but the rest is new knowledge. What I love about the tea is the amount of vitamin C which is a natural anti-inflammatory. For me, it is a light taste compared to the aroma. This is good as I’m not a tea drinker normally. You and your mom really present things so easily and easy to understand. Im going to make a tincture along with you to see how well I do, and then the salve. I’ve only made a salve once so this will be a fun project. Thank you for a great video and the combined knowledge from both of you.

The tea is delicious and you get the benefits by breathing it in while drinking it. I regretted using good olive for the salve because the fragrances of the oil overpowers the fragrance of the pine scent.

Somewhere I heard that pine needle tea decalcifies the pineal gland and that we need to heal it in order to have a wide open connection with our creator. To hear and see in the mind.

Also when I mushroom forage I see baby pine trees, plenty in my yard too, where you can simply grab the fresh needles , strip them and put in my trug.
