Pine Resin

Pine sap is a very powerful expectorant and is best used following a “quit smoking detox” using the mullein leaf first. Whereas mullein leaf works mainly on the upper lung, pine resin reaches deep down into the depths, breaking up old hard matter. Be prepared for serious hacking and coughing to shift that matter, there’s really no other way for it to get out, but the benefits are well worth it when you feel like you have a new pair of lungs!

I collect this Pine resin from living pines trees – its leaks naturally when a branch is broken or the bark is wounded in some way. The resin is the tree’s way of protecting its wounds, and it has powerful antibiotic and drawing properties as well.
