White Pine Needles have a long history of traditional use as a nourishing and aromatic herbal tea, particularly during the colder months. They are naturally rich in vitamin C and have traditionally been valued for supporting seasonal wellness and the respiratory system.
Historically, pine needle infusions were used as a valuable source of vitamin C, including by Indigenous peoples and early settlers. White Pine has also been traditionally prepared as a warm infusion for coughs, congestion, and other seasonal respiratory discomforts, where it was valued for its aromatic and expectorant qualities.
White Pine needles also contain shikimic acid, a naturally occurring plant compound that serves as an important precursor in the production of several pharmaceutical compounds, including oseltamivir. Shikimic acid has been the subject of considerable scientific research for its potential antiviral properties.
