following day. But don’t keep them in the same water more than 12 hours and if
it is very hot you may have to solarize it for a shorter time or steep it in semishade.
If your pine needle tea gets too hot and ferments the carbonic acid will tend to
deprive the brain of oxygen.
Pine needle tea is high in vitamins A and C. In fact the fresh green needles have
five times the amount of vitamin C found in one lemon. The remedy is effective
for working with the smooth muscles that line the arteries and other muscular
related diseases such as sclerosis (condition in which soft tissues inside the body
become unusually hard). Pine needle tea has good success rates with cancer in the
first stage. With pine needle tea you get all the pycnogenol-type nutrients without
raising high blood pressure from ingesting pine bark and tree resins. Resin or sap is
part of the turgidity and levity force of trees, so when taken into the body it tends
to promote these qualities in us. Bark, while have less power for pressurizing fluids
than resin, should also be avoided if the kidneys are particularly weak.
PUrPleBloW maPle oil—nervonic acid can enhance neuron “firing”
thereby increasing mental focus and is involved in the biosynthesis of myelin and
is one of the major fatty acids in brain sphingolipids. Most supplemental nervonic
acid comes from Borage oil (3%) and deepsea fish (0.35%), but the fatty acids
of Purpleblow Maple seed oil contain to 5-6 % nervonic acid. Nervonic Acid
is a 9 superlong-chain monoenic fatty acid, that is a white solid under ambient
temperature. The content of NA in nerve and brain tissue is relatively high and is
important in the composition and special physiological functions of cell membranes.
NA is essential for the development of the brain and significantly contributes to
enhancing the activity of brain nerves and protecting brain nerves from aging.
Also due to a high Vitamin E content the oil from purpleblow maple seeds has a
higher antioxidant activity than other vegetable oils. (Sphingolipids are found in
neural tissue and play a role in signal transmission and cell recognition, provide
mechanical and chemical strength to the semipermeable phospholipid bilayer that
constitutes the membranes of all cells and are important mediators in the signaling
cascades involved in apoptosis, proliferation, and stress responses.)
raW ProPolis—Raw propolis is reputed to be nature’s number one antiseptic.
It is gathered from the resins of plants by bees to disinfect their hives. Raw propolis
can contain over 500 bioflavonoids. Freeze it then grind it in a coffee grinder
while frozen, mix it in with your herbs or put separately into capsules. Propolis
offers antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-candida and even antiviral properties,
helping to reduce the burden on the immune system. Unlike pharmaceutical
antibiotics, propolis kills only bad bacteria, and maintains good bacteria. Propolis
has been shown to reduce blood pressure, produce a sedative effect, and maintain
serum glucose and strengthens blood vessels. It is an antihistamine, anaesthetic,
helps eliminate pain, detoxifies, is a powerful anti-inflammatory and promotes
healing. It helps to strengthen the skin and prevents free radical damage to cells. It
can be bought raw from http://www.texasdrone.com
*Beware that we now have to make sure we do not use honey, bee pollen or propolis
that is collected within 8 miles of genetically modified crops.
