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! 💚🌲💚

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. 😊

[@GliderTown]

Yes! Or any oil you have on hand. ❤

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

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. 💛💚🧡 🤓

They called them limey`s.

[@setfreeindeed4605]

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. 😁💕

Did you ever make a video on the pine needle salve? I scrolled and scrolled 😊

[@georgemcduffey2622]

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.

[@sammonicuslux]

Any particular birch??

[@georgemcduffey2622]

@@sammonicuslux I hear white birch works best, but they don't grow in Kentucky (you'll occasionally see them in someone's yard, but they haven't naturalized themselves here). I use river birch or black birch, using the flexible new growth twigs (not the ones that easily snap). There's a park nearby where they cut the branches away from a walking path so that's where I usually get them, since they'd be cut off in a year or so anyway.

[@christineayre796]

I love you ladies!! You have definitely inspired me. I am putting together my foraging calendar here in Central Michigan for next year!. I will be doing nature walks and teaching the youth about the treasures that surround them. I am so excited about this upcoming year. Praying that things settle down a bit. I am looking forward to showing the next generation how precious GOD'S creation is and how we can utilize it as it was intended to be used. God bless you both and your family!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to rekindle the passion for herbs inside me!

[@baileydillion9331]

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

[@jacklee8671]

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 ❤

[@jodiezammit333]

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.

[@louiswinskowski8954]

White pine needle contains suramin, which people think can help fight the spike protein. I have been drinking the tea for a couple of weeks now.

[@brigittemiller5073]

Very interesting

[@tobiewilliams3985]

That's what I got it for last year. Ordered from Etsy as I don't have any white pines near me. I keep it in the freezer and use as needed. The taste is not bad but of course I add honey to it. I add honey to everything. :)

[@saraquigley5414]

Caution please: Suramin, which is not from white pine, does not have conclusive evidence backing its use to treat COVID-19. The chemical compound that is from pine needles, shikimic acid, can't be used to treat any condition alone and may actually be toxic.

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

My foraging mentor likes to take the new sprigs in early spring, peal it and chew on it since it's pitch is running in the spring (like maple sap). She said it tastes a little sweeter then.

[@myfuturepuglife]

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. I'm not saying it's true or false because I really don't know but I'd be willing to drink pine needle tea every day if it meant that I wouldn't miss what He's showing me!

I have a white pine ridge at the back of my yard, they are 50-60 ft tall BUT they drop small bunches of top needles often! This year the garden had a light amount of hand sized fronds but last year they were from my elbow to the tips, piles of them. 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. I chop needles into quarters for tea now or freezing them for a winter tea source. I save blister boxes that I buy some seeds in bulk and reuse them for freezing parboiled longbean cuts, pine needles and fig slices!

[@itsno1duh]

also side info 'pine essential oil' is great when you carry the burdens of the world, you feel perpetual responsibility for all that ails folks. I had to leave a toxic relationship for a while and felt so guilty for that choice but the pine air from the EO soothed me and made me stick it out with Gratitude!

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.

Wonderful video! I have many white pines on my property. I was told that if I cut a slash on a tree or two, then place a used, clean soup can under it (attached with wire or something AROUND the tree, not in the tree with a nail or something) to collect sap. Do this in the spring similar to collecting for maple sap for syrup. Don't do it to too many trees ... think of it as the tree is bleeding and loss of thir sap may lead to disease. Same with collecting inner bark. I personally have no problem spending money on pine tar. Thanks again!
