Fresh Pine Needle Tea🌲💚
I’m always looking for new herbal inspiration and I’m incredibly grateful that my new garden has plenty!!
So many beautiful fruit and nut trees and also an epic Pine tree😍
With a constant abundance of Pine needles I thought I’d research different ways to use them. When I’ve built my new chicken coop/palace I’ll be using them in the chook’s nesting boxes to keep away mites and parasites and on the ground as the girls like to scratch around in them. I’ll also be creating a number of new pine needle recipes.
Today I’m making fresh Pine needle tea🌲🫖
You might remember around the time of the pandemic many people were using this tea to help protect against the virus.
Some of Pine’s key actions are:
🌿Supporting the Immune System
🌿Shortening the duration of colds/flus
🌿Loosening up mucus
🌿Easing coughs and soothing sore throats
🌿Anti-inflammatory
🌿Supports the heart and the circulatory system
Please note, be sure to check the species of pine tree as there is a toxic pine in Australia - Ponderosa Pine, but this isn’t the common pine we see around a lot.
