Pine trees grow around the world and their needles are packed with health benefits – they’re rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and even support respiratory health. Plus, they can help detox your body, improve circulation, and give you a natural energy boost.
To make pine needle tea, make sure to forage long and round needles to distinguish from poisonous lookalikes like yew. Snip off stems and brown tips, then steep in hot water for 15 minutes. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup and enjoy! 🍵✨
🌿 How to forage responsibly:
Only consume foraged plants if you’re 100% sure you’ve identified them correctly.
Only take what you need to make sure tree remains healthy and the ecosystem balanced.
Avoid foraging near roads, industrial areas, or sprayed crops to prevent contamination
Follow local laws and guidelines (some areas restrict foraging)
Be mindful of wildlife and avoid disturbing habitats.
