White Pine Bark is taken from the inner bark of the White Pine tree. White Pine, also known as Weymouth Pine, is an evergreen conifer that grows throughout eastern North America. The White Pine usually grows up to about 80 feet in height. White Pine is primarily used for lumber, telephone poles, and pulp for paper production, but it is also a source of a resin, which has proven to be of medicinal value.
This resin, located in the inner bark, is a circulatory stimulant and mainly used as an herbal treatment to overcome or prevent the onset of colds and flu by increasing circulation. White Pine Bark is used as an expectorant and is also used as a tea for bronchitis, colds, coughs, croup, and influenza.
A paste made from White Pine Bark can be made into a poultice to treat wounds. It is also a diuretic and is said to have a beneficial effect on the urinary tract. White Pine Bark has been used in combination with Wild Cherry Bark to help expel phlegm, and in combination with Marshmallow Root and Uva Ursi to support diabetes treatment. White Pine Bark also contains essential oils, which are beneficial to digestion.

Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
