If you live in any of thetemperate regions of the world, whether at sea level or high in the mountains,some pine tree is likely to be growing very near you. If you live in thedesert, you may have to get to the mountains before you find a pine. Butwherever you live, north or south, east or west, so long as it isn't thetropics, you will find pine trees. And since they are evergreen, you can findthem easily right now, in the deep of winter, when deciduous trees are bare ofleaves. So the next time you take a walk or go for a drive, be on the look outfor pines. Why? Because pines are useful -for things as diverse as medicine, food, caulking boat seams, winterdecorations, and pine-needle basketry - and because pines have many stories totell. The people of the Great Peaceful Nations (Iroquois Confederacy) stillhonor the "Great Pine of Peace", where they buried their weapons. Isometime refer to the "Pine of the Great Mistake", for there mightnot be white people living in North America except for the gift of the NativePeoples, who told the Europeans they needed to eat pine needles during thewinter to ward off disease. That's because pine needles are rich in vitamin C.Hundreds of years ago many people died of lack of vitamin C, not directly, butindirectly, from opportune infections that thrived because their immune systemlacked critical vitamins. Pine needles still provide vitamin C to help us stayhealthy in the cold season. They can be chewed, brewed into a tea, or, myfavorite, prepared as a vinegar. I preserve all the vitamins foundin fresh pine needles by soaking them in apple cider vinegar for six weeks. Ifill a wide-mouthed jar with pine needles and pour room-temperature,pasteurized apple cider vinegar over them until they are completely covered. Aplastic (or non-metal) lid and a label with the name of the plant and the datecompletes the preparation. I call this tasty vinegar "home-made balsamicvinegar" and you will be surprised at how much it tastes like the storebought stuff - "Only better," say many, with a smile. Soft pines, like my favoritemedicinal pine, Eastern white pine (Pinusstrobus) have less harsh "pitch" than hard pines such as Monterey(P. radiata) or Ponderosa pine (P. ponderosa). They make internalmedicines that are mild-tasting yet fast-acting. When I visit out west, I useanother soft pine - pinon pine (Pinusedulis) - to make a tasty, health-promoting pine needle vinegar.  Don't worry if you don't know asoft pine from a hard pine, or even what kind of pines grow around you. Pinesare safe so experiment with them. If you choose a pine with too much pitch,your preparations will taste like turpentine or a strong cleaning product! Itwill be obvious to you not to use it - or to use it in tiny doses. Did you ever see "PineBrother's" cough drops? They're still sold, although they no longercontain the pine that gives them their name. Pine sap, like many resins, is strongly antibacterial. Pine sapmedicines slightly irritate the lungs, increase the effectiveness of coughs,kill bacterial infections, halt coughing, and improve breathing. You may have said nasty thingsabout pine sap if you ever got it on your clothes, for it leaves ahard-to-remove black stain. But tinctures, honeys, and salves of pine sap/pitchare uniquely effective medicines. Pine resin is a component ofpropolis, a mixture of tree saps collected by bees.  Tincture of pine sap (or propolis) is easy to make and auseful ally to have on hand to counter winter miseries such as colds, coughs,and bronchitis. For this remedy you will need 198 proof alcohol, sometimescalled grain alcohol, or Everclear. This high proof alcohol contains no water,and pine sap "fears" water ("hydrophobic" is the technicalterm). Vodka, the alcohol I prefer to use to make tinctures, contains quite abit of water - 80 proof vodka is sixty percent water; 100 proof vodka is fiftypercent water - so the pine sap will not dissolve in it. Collect pine sap from wounds inthe trees, or scrape it off pine cones. Barely cover the sap with 198 proofalcohol in a tightly-lidded jar. Label with the name and date. Your remedy willbe ready to use in six to eight weeks - in 5-10 drops doses. Pine sap honey is made by cooking the two ingredients togetheruntil they merge, then cooling the goo in individual globs on waxed paper. Direct applications of pine sap orliberal use of a pine sap salveis a renowned healer of all sorts of wounds. The bark from pine saplings can beused in place of a cast to stabilize broken bones, and as a binding in place ofstitches to help grave wounds mend. Even the pollen of pines is medicinal. Stephen Buhner, herbalist and speakerfor the earth, reports that pine pollen is exceedingly high in testosterone.Ingestion of the pollen itself, or the tincture of the pollen in dropperfuldoses, seems to gradually increase libido in those susceptible to its action. Find a pine nearby. Inhale thatspecial pine scent. Let you heart and spirit be invigorated and uplifted withthe gifts of the pine. Let the green blessings of the Earth nourish you deeply.
