Pine

Pine needle extract is readily available in drug departments. Even in small quantities, it is a remarkable addition to a bath, for it helps to alleviate pain and joint discomfort and overcomes the feeling of fatigue. The aroma itself is stimulating and calming.

Many folk remedies contain turpentine, the virgin resin that drips out of scarred white pine. This herbal terpentine is not to be confused with the common "boiled" turpentine available through hardware stores, which is not for use in herbal medicine.
