Herbalists use pine sprouts, needles, buds, and bark to make medicine for upper and lower respiratory tract swelling (inflammation), stuffy nose, common cold, cough or bronchitis, and infectious diseases. Pine tree supplies plenty of material to use for folk health remedies. Almost everything on a pine tree that is above ground is useful for herbalists. The most used parts of pine are pollen, bark, resin, buds, and of course, needles.

Pine buds are usually harvested in the spring from March to May. The buds are rich in vitamin C, tannins, resin acids, phenolic compounds (antioxidants), mineral salts, sugars, and other biologically active ingredients. However, the main component that makes the pine buds so special is an essential oil containing pinene. Pinene promotes pain relief and relaxation, aids in memory and respiratory function, and may reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses. Besides, it adds a distinctive flavor and aroma to the tea infusions. Pine buds are synergistically blended into our proprietary herbal tea STRESS AID to help your body navigate stress, balance hormones, promote better sleep, and strengthen the immune system.
