For colds and other respiratory diseases Doctors advise drinking an infusion of young shoots with milk. Fifteen grams of the tops of pine shoots should be brewed with half a liter of boiled milk and left to steep for an hour. The product should be drunk hot, one hundred and fifty milliliters three times a day until recovery.

In addition, medicines prepared using pine buds stop the progression of the inflammatory process in the lungs. For severe illnesses accompanied by cough (tuberculosis, asthma, pneumonia), it is advisable to use pine buds only as an additional remedy to complex therapy.
Time after stroke

Raw materials are prescribed for several diseases that affect human joints and muscles:
- gout;
- myositis (muscle inflammation);
- neuralgia.
Pine buds cannot completely replace traditional medicine, but they can achieve a strong auxiliary effect The effect is not quick, only a long course of using products from pine buds (from 3 months) gives a positive result. The tincture is especially useful, as it distracts the patient due to its irritating effect and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
A remedy with a pronounced choleretic effect are decoctions and tinctures of pine buds, which are relevant in the treatment of diseases of the liver, pancreas and gall bladder, progressive ulcerative processes and gastritis. The exception is hepatitis, in which the use of this folk remedy is contraindicated.
Diseases of the urinary system
Drugs based on pine buds provide a pronounced diuretic effect, and therefore it is advisable to prescribe them for urolithiasis, dropsy, and edema.
High blood pressure, atherosclerosis
Pine buds and products containing them are capable of bringing blood pressure back to normal, so they are prescribed in low dosages as an auxiliary therapy for hypertension. Also, such herbal medicine prevents the accumulation of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels and prevents progression. Additional effects when using this folk remedy are blood purification and stimulation of metabolic processes.
Pine buds as a soothing herbal remedy
Pine buds are used as anti-stress baths with the addition of decoctions or infusions, after which children and adults sleep better. Also, such remedies are used for migraines, to relieve irritation and relieve anxiety. Women during menopause and the premenstrual period can drink herbal preparations to improve their well-being, as well as take pine baths.
Such baths help with headaches, and also calm the nervous system, and have a beneficial effect on the female body. Application in cosmetology
The benefits of pine buds as a cosmetic product are due to the high concentration of essential oils. The decoction is suitable for rapid hair growth, as a nail strengthener and as an additive to everyday face lotions to improve skin cleansing properties. By killing viruses and microbes, the decoction copes well with the problem of skin rashes, acne and comedones.
Kidney decoctions are useful to add to creams and lotions for cleansing facial skin. Extracts and tinctures are added to creams or used in pure form to improve the regenerative function of the skin. Thanks to the high concentration of vitamin C, the kidneys stimulate the acceleration of epidermal cell renewal and are able to reduce wrinkles on the face.
Limitations and Side Effects
Do not forget about the dosage of medicinal raw materials when preparing traditional medicine; you must be careful when self-medicating and avoid an overabundance of the finished medicine.
Due to the tonic effect it has on the body, medications based on pine buds should not be used by patients with chronically high blood pressure.
Strict contraindications for consuming pine buds are pregnancy and hepatitis, early childhood and old age over 75 years. If a patient is allergic to pollen and resin from coniferous trees, it is prohibited to use pine buds and products prepared with them. Also a contraindication is intolerance to all ready-made medications that contain pine.
Products based on this raw material are prohibited for acute and chronic kidney diseases, in particular glomerulonephritis and nephritis, and hepatitis.
Treatment with traditional recipes during pregnancy
The period of breastfeeding and gestation is not the time to use traditional medicine therapy based on pine buds. Despite the naturalness of the initial components, treatment with this herbal remedy can cause inflammation of the kidney parenchyma in a pregnant woman, since during gestation the load on these organs is already excessively increased. This raw material easily provokes allergies. Only after the doctor’s permission can a pregnant or nursing mother begin treatment with traditional methods.
Treatment of children
In pediatrics, the main purpose of remedies based on pine buds is to get rid of coughs and increase the body's resistance before the cold season, as well as during epidemics of influenza and ARVI. Syrups based on pine buds, infusions with honey and taking a bath are more often prescribed by pediatricians for children.
Despite the positive aspects and effectiveness of the traditional method of treatment, it is necessary to remember the allergenicity of this medicinal plant material: pine buds, especially in combination with honey, are contraindicated for children, who may be predisposed to developing a reaction to pine needles and bee products.
When preparing medicinal products on pine buds for a child under 12 years of age, the dosage of active substances should be halved. Preparations based on pine buds are contraindicated for children under two years of age.
It is better to start treatment with a small amount of medicine based on pine buds; if there is an allergic reaction, change tactics The recipe for preparing products based on pine buds must be followed, as well as the duration of taking such medications. Pine buds contain turpentine, which has a negative effect on the functioning of the child’s stomach and its mucous membrane. When taken for more than a week, the drugs can trigger the onset of gastritis and colitis.
Side effects from using pine buds
Basically, the presence of side effects from the use of products based on pine buds is associated with the high concentration of turpentine in them.
With prolonged and frequent use of folk remedies externally, turpentine provokes redness of the skin, the appearance of blisters on the skin and areas of necrosis.
Long-term ingestion of teas and decoctions, as well as other drugs, may increase blood pressure and cause shortness of breath, and the development of gastritis. Also, due to the tonic effect, insomnia may develop.
Side effects indicating an overdose of the drug are:
- headache;
- pain in the abdomen, indicating inflammation in the stomach or intestines;
- weakness and malaise;
- pain in the lumbar region.
Collection and storage rules
If it is not possible to buy pine buds at a green pharmacy, or if you want to obtain high-quality raw materials yourself, it is important to know the rules for procuring this valuable material.
An important point is the beginning of the collection - it is necessary to choose the moment in early spring when the pine shoots turn brown-orange and the young buds have a pronounced pine smell. The buds must be closed, otherwise they are no longer so valuable and have lost their share of important substances. The buds should be cut off with a “crown”, several pieces at a time, together with a part of the stem no more than 3 mm long.
When collecting, it is better to protect your hands with gloves or mittens, as resinous traces are difficult to wash off the skin. The collected material is thoroughly dried in a dry and ventilated place, protected from sunlight, for a period of 14 to 20 days. You cannot use ovens or electric dryers for this, otherwise the kidneys will lose their healing properties.
You can store finished raw materials for no more than two years, in a place with low humidity, protected from the sun and high temperatures. Cardboard boxes, paper and fabric bags can be used as containers.

Treatment with pine buds: folk recipes
The possibility of using the healing properties of pine for various diseases implies a variety of options for using this raw material, both as an external remedy, for example, baths and rubs, and for internal use in the form of teas, infusions, decoctions and tinctures.
Making a decoction
The main use of the decoction is as an adjuvant for the treatment of all types of cough, except allergic Ingredients:
- pine buds - 2 tbsp. l.;
- water - 0.4 l.
Instructions:
- Pour the raw materials into a saucepan and add water.
- Place on the fire and simmer slowly with the lid closed for 30 minutes.
- Strain the finished product.
The decoction can be used internally, 1 tablespoon 4 times a day.
Tincture of pine buds
In the recipe, diluted alcohol can be replaced with more accessible vodka Ingredients:
- pine buds - 350 g;
- alcohol 40% - 500 ml.
Instructions:
- Prepare a glass jar with a capacity of 1 liter, add plant materials, previously crushed with a knife, into it.
- Pour alcohol over pine buds.
- Place the jar in a warm and dark place, after closing the lid. Prepare the tincture for a week, shaking the jar periodically.
- After 7 days, strain the tincture. The finished product turns brown.
The tincture prepared in this form is prescribed for the treatment of tuberculosis and osteochondrosis, cystitis and the development of pathogenic bacteria in the urinary tract. Drink the drink 25 ml three times a day, before meals.
There is another option for preparing pine bud tincture.
This product can be used as a natural immunomodulator Ingredients:
- pine buds - 200 g;
- alcohol 40% - 0.5 l;
- 1 lemon;
- honey - 300 g.
- To 150 grams of pine buds add 300 grams of honey and one chopped lemon, and then pour the other 150 grams with alcohol.
- Leave both of these remedies to infuse for a week in a dark and warm place.
- After the time has passed, remove the containers, strain, mix together and put them in the refrigerator for further infusion for 30 days.
The prepared product can be used in the treatment of influenza, sore throat, and colds accompanied by inflammatory processes in the larynx. The tincture is taken 1 tablespoon 5 times a day before each meal.
In my experience, a remedy based on pine buds and honey is the most useful for preparing the immune system for winter and a series of colds in young children. However, I would not like to give an alcohol tincture to children; ethanol is not at all the best choice for treating children. If your child is not allergic to honey and you want to get a preventive natural remedy during the cold season, then be sure to try pine honey. I learned this recipe from my grandmother, from whom we once rented a house on the Black Sea coast - there are a lot of pine trees there, and such a healing product is in demand.
You need to prepare pine honey yourself, because pine is not a honey plant. Having collected pine buds in March - April, you need to wash them and put them through a juicer. In a 1:1 ratio, add acacia honey to the ground buds - it does not crystallize longer than others and remains liquid. Mix the ingredients until smooth, then transfer to a jar with a lid and refrigerate for 5 days. You need to consume honey 1 teaspoon 2 times a day from October. If your child does not like the product in its pure form, you can dilute it with warm water and give it as a drink. The product is suitable for children from three years of age.
Infusion of pine buds
Ingredients:
- pine buds - 1 tbsp. l.;
- water - 300 ml.
Preparation of water infusion:
- Boil water and pour boiling water over pine buds.
- Leave the raw material to infuse under the lid for 2 hours.
- Strain the cooled infusion.
An infusion of pine buds should be used as a diaphoretic to reduce fever and get rid of phlegm.
Making tea
The use of pine bud tea is especially important during colds. This drink has an antiviral and diaphoretic effect, and is used for expectoration of difficult-to-separate sputum and disinfection of the upper respiratory tract. It is better to drink tea for adults hot, when healing steam emanates from it.
Tea made from pine buds copes well with bronchitis, pneumonia, cholelithiasis and kidney diseases Ingredients:
- black tea - 1 tbsp. l.;
- pine buds - 1 tbsp. l.;
- water - 500 ml.
Preparation:
- Pour boiling water over the mixture of plant materials.
- Infuse the tea with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
- If desired, you can add citrus peels, cloves, and sugar to the tea.
You need to take 150 ml of this tea 3 times a day until recovery. The composition of the product may vary depending on the disease, supplementing tea from pine buds with medicinal herbs, you can enhance its therapeutic effect: for cough and asthma, add 30 g of plantain, for cystitis and ICD - 20 g of bearberry.
Pine bud extract
The extract is used as a wound healing agent; you can also prepare a pine bath from it by diluting the prepared medicine in the required amount of water (up to 200 liters).
Ingredients:
- pine buds - 100 g;
- water - 2 l.
Extract preparation:
- Pour pre-chopped pine buds into a pan of suitable volume.
- Pour water over the raw material and wait until it boils.
- Boil the raw materials over low heat, evaporating the water, until about half a liter of liquid remains in the pan.
- Remove the extract from the heat and wait until it cools.
- Strain the finished product.
The extract is used in the form of compresses for skin diseases, boils, ulcers, burns and injuries. Apply gauze soaked in medicine twice a day until signs of the disease disappear. The extract can also be used for stomatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity as a rinse up to five times a day.
Therapeutic baths
The prepared extract obtained in the manner described above is added to the bath. The only difference is that after turning off the heat, it is necessary to infuse the resulting extract for another 3–5 hours. You can take a bath for extensive skin lesions, as well as to improve your own health, well-being, relieve headaches and calm the nervous system. The time spent in the bath is 15 minutes, the water should be at a comfortable temperature.
Steam inhalations
Inhalation of the decoction is used for tracheitis, bronchitis, as well as other inflammatory diseases of the throat and lungs.
To prepare an inhalation decoction, you need to take 20 g of raw material per glass of boiling water. It is recommended to pour the finished broth into a steam inhaler - this is the safest way to treat children, as opposed to using a hot pan and towel. The temperature of the decoction should not be higher than 40 degrees, the inhalation time should be 1–3 minutes.
Important: inhalation is prohibited at body temperature above 37.5 degrees Video: 50 healing recipes for pine buds
Birch and pine buds are a very valuable medicine!
Medicinal properties and composition
Pine buds and other medicinal parts of coniferous trees are a must-have in every home. In the old days, the cleansing, refreshing, healing properties of unblown shoots - buds, as well as pine needles and cones - were highly valued. They tried to stock up on them first, and recipes for use for colds and joint pain were passed down from generation to generation.
The valuable properties of pine are also recognized by official medicine. More than 10 useful compounds were found in the plant, mainly essential oils, resins and tannins. Many synthetic drugs have appeared, but pine buds remain a sought-after natural product that is used to treat a number of diseases.
Decoction, infusion and tincture treat inflammation and pain of various origins. Used externally, it is effective in the treatment of neurology, arthritis, sprains and muscle strains.
Scots pine (Pinus silvestris) is an incredibly valuable tree!
The plant is easily distinguished from other evergreen coniferous and deciduous trees by the shape of the crown and the reddish color of the tall, straight trunk. Pine can hardly be called a native of only one region - it is a cosmopolitan that has mastered the vast expanses of the Eurasian continent. The Latin name of the plant “pinus” translated from the language of the ancient Celts means “mountain”. Typically, pine trees prefer well-lit mountain and hillsides. The tree grows to a height of 25-35 m and lives to be 300 years old.
Young pine bark is painted in brighter shades of red, and with age it acquires a gray tint and forms layered plates with deep cracks. The crown has a round or cone-shaped shape. Bright green or bluish needle-like leaves grow in pairs on short shoots. The length of the needles reaches 5-7 cm. The needles fall off after 3-4 years.
From May to June, reddish male and female pine spikelets develop on the same tree. In place of the latter, after pollination, green cones develop, about 7.5 cm in length. They mature within two years, become brown, and the scales harden. The tiny seeds are equipped with thin wings.
Pine buds are often coated with sticky resin. It has the properties of a natural preservative that protects it from rotting for decades. In the Middle Ages, pine symbolized immortality. Many of the medicinal properties of the plant are due to essential oils and phytoncides. Pine buds, needles, and cones contain biotherapeutic substances and have a cleansing and refreshing aroma.
Young needles contain resin, vitamins C, K, carotene (provitamin A), tannins and essential oils. Fresh pine needles are harvested for medicinal purposes. Dried raw materials are also used, which are collected and processed in the same way as pine buds.
The therapeutic components of pine needles prevent the formation of mucus in the bronchi and have a disinfecting effect. Even inhaling the vapors of tea from pine needles or smoke from burnt cones and shoots brings relief from sore throat and other diseases of the upper respiratory tract. The product has a wound-healing, disinfectant and decongestant effect, reduces painful irritation in the throat, and soothes inflamed bronchi.
The needles are infused and consumed as tea for coughs and bronchitis, as a vitamin remedy. The product has a slight diuretic effect and helps remove sand that accumulates in the kidneys and bladder. Very often these “deposits” lead to more serious problems - stones. Pine essential oil has a bactericidal effect and reduces inflammation of the urinary tract.
Application
At the ends of pine branches in the form of a crown there are unblown shoots - buds. They accumulate essential oils, which include turpentine and borneol esters. In addition, it contains vitamins, tannins, and mineral salts. Buds are harvested mainly from young and middle-aged plants. It is more convenient to do this during logging in forests.
The time for collecting medicinal raw materials is from October to April-May, when the buds swell but do not yet bloom. Cut off the top of a pine branch from which young shoots grow. Lay out for drying in a thin layer in a ventilated room or under a canopy. The raw material should be pinkish-brown in color, covered with small droplets of resin, and emit a characteristic resinous aroma.
Preparations from pine buds have bacteriostatic, sedative, expectorant, diuretic and choleretic effects. The decoction is taken orally for diseases of the respiratory system, urination, and is used in the treatment of inflammation of the gallbladder, gout, and rheumatism.
Pine buds calm the nerves and relieve headaches and neuralgia. The decoction is taken orally and used for inhalation to treat colds and cleanse the respiratory tract. Apply the product as a compress to relieve headaches. Add to baths and steam baths for diseases of the skin, vascular system, age-related aging and fatigue.
A decoction of pine buds can be prepared in several ways:
- For oral administration, pour 10 g of raw material in a fabric bag with a glass of boiling water and leave for half an hour. Take 1 tbsp. 3-4 times a day;
- 1 tbsp. l. kidneys in a gauze bag are doused with boiling water and continued to be heated in a water bath (15 minutes), squeezed out and warm boiled water is added to the original volume. Take half a glass 3 times a day after meals.
- For inhalations, take twice as many buds for the same amount of boiling water;
- For a bath, you need to take 200 g of kidneys and pour 5 liters of boiling water for 30 minutes, strain and pour into the bath. The duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes (3 times a week).
- Fresh needles (50 g) are ground, pour 2 tbsp. boiling water, leave for 2 hours. Drink up to 3 cups a day with a small amount of sugar or honey.
Pine needle extract is used along with bud decoction for medicinal baths. It has a calming and strengthening effect on neuroses and cardiovascular diseases, helps with rheumatism, gout, and skin diseases.
Preparing a decoction for the bath:
- A large handful of fresh pine needles in a thin fabric bag is poured with 1 liter of boiling water, everything is brought to a boil. Cover with a lid and leave on low heat for half an hour. Add to bath water.
The properties of substances contained in pine buds are highly valued by traditional healers. They have a cleansing effect and neutralize pathogenic microbes. Externally, pine preparations are used in the form of baths, lotions, compresses for many diseases, as well as for cosmetic purposes. Tree essential oil is an unsurpassed remedy for treating the respiratory tract, eliminating problems of the body and scalp.
Scots pine is a good stimulant for people suffering from fatigue, lethargy and depression. Resins and essential oils have a refreshing effect, and the abundant vitamin C content helps cell regeneration. Aromas and preparations from pine buds, shoots, and pine needles relieve tension, give strength and energy.
Contraindications
Invigorating tea and pine baths should be used with caution by people suffering from high blood pressure. Contraindications for the use of medicinal products from pine are individual intolerance to the components, allergic reactions to tree resin.

very useful information, thanks to the site.
Somehow, without knowing it, she cured a child’s pneumonia with pine buds. The temperature remained at 40 for 5 days, the doctor came every day, and she only thought of taking a picture on the sixth day, by which it became clear that it was pneumonia. Of course, we were immediately admitted to the hospital, but almost healthy, with a temperature of 36. Thank God, our intuition told us what to do, otherwise with such unfortunate doctors, no one knows what would have happened.
I drink pine pollen for bronchitis, the cough goes away in 3 days. The sputum disappears quickly and a significant improvement is felt without antibiotics! Thanks to the forces of nature!
My grandfather, with the help of pine, got rid of stomach ulcers and often tormenting heartburn with the help of pine needles. He took a small-topped spoon, crushed with a knife, and poured it into a faceted glass of barely boiling water. He covered it and put it in a dark place. Strained before use. I drank 2/3 immediately after lunch, and the remaining 1/3 in the evening before bed. It helped him a lot. After about a week, the heartburn and stomach pain completely stopped.

Pine: medicinal properties and contraindications
Pine is an almost universal tree species. Her gifts are pine boards, tar, rosin and turpentine. Pine bark is an excellent material for making inert soil used in growing orchids. Pine is also an excellent alternative to a New Year tree: its needles practically do not fall off, which cannot be said about spruce. The value of pine also lies in its medicinal properties, which were noticed in ancient times, which were confirmed in ancient manuscripts.
Procurement of medicinal raw materials
For medicinal purposes, traditional medicine uses pine needles, young shoots and cones. The use of pine resin also has a place in folk medicine. There is no reason to consider the use of products obtained at pharmacological enterprises (turpentine, rosin, etc.), so it is advisable to focus on those parts of the plant that have practical use at home.
Pine buds are harvested at the very beginning of sap flow (early spring).
Pine cones are collected for medicinal needs in May - June, and young shoots are also harvested at the same time. You can harvest pine needles at any time of the year (even from a tree that was used as a “New Year tree”).
Chemical composition of medicinal raw materials
The needles and young shoots of pine, like all parts of the tree, contain resinous substances. In addition, pine needles are a rich source of ascorbic acid and were often used in ancient times to treat scurvy (vitaminosis caused by a lack of vitamin C). Pine needles accumulate a large number of chemical compounds, both organic and inorganic, which include macro- and microelements.
Essential oil of pine needles contains terpene compounds, borneol, bornyl acetate, aromatic substances, etc.
Pharmacological properties of pine preparations
Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of pine buds, cones and pine needles help thin the viscous mucus in the bronchi (expectorant effect) and increase diuresis (diuretic). Biologically active substances included in medicinal raw materials have a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. All of the listed properties of pine preparations determine their use for the treatment of diseases of the bronchopulmonary system (bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.). Pine preparations are often prescribed as additional drugs used to treat diseases associated with the formation of stones in the kidneys and bile ducts. Pine preparations are also used in dermatology.
In ancient medical publications (“Private Pharmacology”, 1847) information was found on the use of pine cones. “Pine cones have diuretic and diaphoretic properties; used in dropsy and chronic aching and rheumatic suffering, mucus discharge (for example, from the lungs). Previously they were also used against scurvy and venereal diseases.” The publication also gives instructions on the technology for preparing a complex pine tincture (tinc. pini composit., loco tincturae lignorum):
Pine cones - 90 g;
Guaiac wood shavings - 60 g;
Sassafras and juniper berries - 30 g each;
After infusion, the raw material is pressed out.
The tincture was prescribed poml for the treatment of rheumatism, and as an adjuvant against sexually transmitted diseases.
Medicinal properties of pine in folk medicine (recipes)
A popular recipe for premature aging in Moldova is pine pollen. To obtain pollen, young cones collected in the spring are dried in the sun so that their scales open and the pollen falls freely. Take this remedy 1 g (approximately) up to 3 times a day before meals.
- “Pine honey.” To prepare the product, underdeveloped pine cones (about 4 cm long) are used. Fresh cones are washed, placed in an enamel bowl, sprinkled with sugar (1 kg of sugar per 1 liter of water) and poured with water so that it covers them completely, and just above the surface. It is necessary to cook the composition for at least one and a half hours, making sure that the water does not boil over, and constantly removing the resulting foam. During the cooking process, the buds become “transparent”, and the syrup acquires a ruby color and a viscous consistency.
With the light hand of Valery Tishchenko, the following recipe became widespread: 5 tbsp. pine needles (chopped), 3 tbsp. rose hips, 2 tbsp. onion peels per 700 ml of water. Cook for 10 minutes after boiling, pour into a thermos and leave overnight. The healer believes that such a decoction should be drunk from a liter or more per day (instead of water), thereby completely restoring the vascular system. The course of treatment with decoction is at least 4 months. With all due respect to the traditional healer, this recipe is not suitable for treatment, and, as practice has shown, use in such dosages can lead to serious exacerbations of heart disease. The maximum permissible dosage is 50 or 100 ml per dose, with two or three times of use!
Decoction for baths. Hot foot baths for colds. For 10 liters of water - 1 kg of pine needles (or shoots). After boiling, remove the dishes from the heat and leave for 1 hour. Used for foot baths for colds. For baths, decoctions of cones (crushed) are also used, of which 3 cups are taken per 10 liters. The cooking technology is similar to the previous one.
A medicinal infusion of pine needles helps with iron deficiency anemia. For a glass of warm water - 2 tbsp. pine needles, leave for 3 hours. Take frequently, 15 ml every hour.
Extracts prepared from pine needles are used to prepare baths. For 10 liters of water - 1 kg of pine needles, cook for half an hour and leave for an hour and a half. For every kilogram of extract, 2.5 kg of table salt is added. Pine-salt baths are recommended for patients suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system associated with salt deposition (osteochondrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.). Baths have a good effect on various types of neuroses and joint pain.
Tincture of pine cones can be taken to treat gastritis, peptic ulcers, etc.
Contraindications to treatment with pine preparations
Internal use of pine preparations is not recommended during pregnancy, during exacerbation of kidney disease, or acute hepatitis. Individual intolerance also serves as one of the contraindications when treatment with pine preparations should not be resorted to.
Abuse of pine-based drugs can provoke unpleasant symptoms: headache, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines. Pine pollen may cause allergic rhinitis.
For external use of infusions, decoctions and extracts, no special contraindications have been identified.
