The healthy effect of pine needle tips 🌲 ✨

 

Pine needles have a mild yet extremely beneficial effect. They are ideal for strengthening the immune system and can help calm the nerves. Their antibacterial and antiseptic properties have a cleansing effect and are helpful in treating bacterial infections.

 

Fir tips as natural medicine

 

The essential oils of fir tips have an expectorant effect, which is particularly helpful for coughs, bronchitis, and colds. They also strengthen the nervous system and help combat spring fatigue, allowing you to enjoy the fresher months full of energy.

 

The healing power of pine scent

 

The scent of fir not only has a healing effect on respiratory problems, but can also counteract stress-related tension. The anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties of the essential oils naturally support your well-being.

Production of fir tip distillate

 

1.      1 liter of water or distilled water into the mixing bowl of the Mr. Cuisine ^Ò or Thermomix ^Ò  and Bosch Cookit ^Ò give.

Fill 200 g / max. ¾ of the cooking basket with fresh fir tips.

Recommendation: Wash the pine tips briefly to remove dust and small animals.

2.      To produce a pine needle hydrosol that is rich in essential oils, it is recommended that the steaming basket is well filled but loose to ensure that the steam can penetrate well through the needles and optimally extract the essential oils.

3.       Also important: if you use dried botanicals, moisten them slightly!

4.       Put the lid on with the still (@DiFUMA) and start as per the instructions, depending on which food processor you have.

O   Example: In Monsieur Cuisine ^Ò  Set the time to 45 min., the temperature to 130°C and the speed to level 1

5.      After 15/20 minutes, the hydrolate drips into the collecting vessel.

Good tips:

 

- Store hydrosols in dark, cleaned glass containers.

- Ideally, use glass containers with spray heads to minimize oxygen ingress.

- Keep the hydrosols cool at 9 to 14 C.

- Without preservatives, hydrosols have a shelf life of 6 months to 2 years. Check regularly for cloudiness or mold.

 - The spray bottle should be shaken vigorously before use so that the oils mix with the water.
