Herb of the Month: White Pine

With the holiday season around the corner, we thought we'd take a look at White Pine. As a central part to our holiday decorations, pine is the perfect herb to learn about in November. Indigenous tribes have used White Pine for centuries, teaching European settlers to use it as well. The bark is most often used in herbal preparations though pine needles are sometimes used. As you can imagine, this herb is quite fragrant so it is used sparingly- a little goes a long way! Herbalists traditionally use it in teas, tinctures, and poultices.

How we use it-

We use White Pine Bark in Wild Cherry Coffaway. Our November Special of the Month.

Wild Cherry Coffaway is the cough syrup you wish your parents had when you were a kid. It tastes incredible and works fast. It's designed to help break up congestion and help soothe coughs. Customers find it helps calm the cough enough to get a restful night's sleep. It is one of our Cherokee medicine formulas, passed down to us by Medicine Bear over 30 years ago. 

We combine White Pine Bark with Organic Wild Cherry Bark, Spikenard Root, Organic Whole Elderberries, Organic Cinnamon Chips and Organic Licorice Root in a base of Kosher Vegetable Glycerine and Reverse Osmosis Water.
