Pine needle tea is the power of wild white and red pine needles harvested from far northern regions of Canada. The white pine especially has long been utilized as a natural medicine for a variety of health benefits with its wealth of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as well as germ-killing terpenes.* It is best known as a natural vitamin C infusion, significant in the tea made from the fresh shoots with a content five times higher than lemons.
Top components include a wide range of terpenes, including alpha-pinene, D-limonone, Beta-Caryophyllene (BCP), shikimic acid, and germcrene plus dozens of others. BCP is also known to help with mental clarity and to fight depression.* The vitamin A content is also high, good for eyesight, hair, skin nails, lung health, and immunity as well as red cell production.* The terpenes are highly cleansing to the body, especially BCP, which acts in the detoxification of the brain and nervous system.* The terpenes also aid the body in the cleansing of poisonous compounds such as man-made fat soluble chemicals. In particular, shikimic acid has been shown to be a potent antiseptic agent, especially against bacteria.*
As well, Taoist priest drank the tea as a regular infusion, believing it made them live longer, increasing their stamina. Pleasant to taste, the tea is also used as an invigorating agent, with the kinds of positive results as people experience when walking through a pine forest.
Use it as an uplifting tea and as a cold infusion beverage, especially for sports drinks. Drink it also as a digestive aid*; it is amazingly powerful for the digestive system.* Take advantage of it as a wild forest tea that humans have relied upon for centuries.
