Pinus strobus
ABOUT:
With its fresh, clean taste, white pine is an evergreen herb that is a great addition to your wellness cabinet.
White Pine can be used when working through respiratory and bronchial complaints, as it can help dry and thin the mucus from the lungs, especially green mucus. It is useful for removing mucus that needs to be expelled from the lungs. The resin from the needles can also help to heal the tissue after excessive amounts of coughing.
When used externally, it can be a warming circulatory stimulant for cold, winter nights. It can be massaged into the skin in areas that need warmth or lymphatic support. It can also be used to clean wounds and help prevent infections.
As emotional support, white pine can be taken to help open the lungs which can become smaller in times of grief.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
None known.
ACTIONS:
Expectorant
Astringent
Circulatory stimulant
Mild diuretic
Mild antiviral
Immune stimulant
Grief support
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
