Pine Needle Tea 200g

Containing high levels of vitamin A and C, suramin, and shikimic acid, pine needle tea is commonly used for treating hormonal imbalances and cold and flu symptoms. 

The turpentine obtained from the resin of all pine trees is antiseptic, antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, diuretic, decongestant, rubefacient and vermifuge. 

It is a valuable remedy used internally in the treatment of kidney and bladder complaints and externally as a rub and steam bath in the treatment of rheumatic issues. It is also very beneficial to the respiratory system. 

Externally it is a very beneficial treatment for a variety of skin complaints, wounds, sores, burns, boils and is used in the form of liniment plasters, poultices, herbal steam baths and inhalers.

These Radiata Pine (also known as Monterey Pine) needles have been hand picked and packed with loving care in the Noosa Hinterlands.

How to brew tea: 

1. Cut, crush, grind or blend to release healing properties due to its firm nature.

2. Allow sufficient time to steep (at least 20 minutes).

3. If you have time, steeping the needles overnight is helpful as it ensures the full benefits of the plant are released.
