2. Essential oils are bactericidal and antifungal.
3. Phytoncides are a mucolytic, vasodilating effect.
4. Turpentine (in small quantities) - skin cleansing.
5. Chlorophyll - stimulation of the hematopoietic function of bone marrow.

Vitamins:

1. A (in the number of carotenoids is not much inferior to carrots) - strengthening capillaries, accelerating the breakdown of fatty acids, ensuring balance in the interaction of antagonist elements (potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, aluminum).
2. C (high concentration of ascorbic acid) - strengthening immunity, increasing the efficiency of assimilation of iron.
3. Vitamin E - a natural antioxidant, represented by tocopherol.
4. Vitamin PP - an increase in the tone of capillaries.
5. B6 - relieving airway spasms, enhancing the effects of anti-TB drugs.
6. B9 - increased likelihood of conception, a slight normalization of the composition of bile.

Macro and microelements:

1. Iron (presented in easily digestible form).

When and how to collect pine needles

For the preparation of alcoholic beverages, teas, face masks, it is better to collect raw materials in June. Such needles have a minimum of bitterness, a slight aftertaste, minimal harm to the digestive tract. For baths, inhalations, treatment of fungal diseases, as an expectorant, antiseptic, for enemas, baths, comedones, it is recommended to collect in January and February. So in the needles there will be a maximum concentration of resins, essential oils, turpentine. She has high efficiency, but more contraindications, frequent side effects, and a high probability of allergic reactions.

For oral administration, you need to collect needles manually. It is not recommended to take branches to settlements with a polluted atmosphere, since the needles quickly absorb harmful chemical compounds, changing the properties. You need to carry it in tightly closed glass containers. Containers are not recommended to be closed with plastic or plastic caps. It is advised to collect raw materials far from roads, settlements, enterprises of heavy and light industry, since the needles have high absorbent properties.

How to store

It is advisable to store well-dried needles without rinsing before this.It can not be dried in the oven, due to sudden changes in temperature there is an accelerated decomposition of volatile, essential oils and the loss of chlorophyll. The most effective way is on the stove. In the absence of a stove, an electric dryer is suitable at a minimum temperature, and every 30 minutes it must be turned off. When drying on the stove, you need to take parchment or xerox paper. The latter, by the way, can give an unpleasant aftertaste.

When drying raw materials outdoors, it is important to avoid exposure to open sunlight. To avoid this, you can cover it with gauze. Sunlight provokes the breakdown of vitamin C, chlorophyll, phytoncides, an increase in the concentration of potassium, aluminum, and the compaction of the structure of resins. All this reduces the efficiency of assimilation. Side effects are possible: indigestion, malignant tumors, shortness of breath, Quincke's edema, malfunctioning of the heart, increased internal pressure in the airways, destruction of the mucosa due to heavy resins.

If you plan to store more than a year, you need to take only sterilized glass containers. Raw materials can be kept in linen bags for 6–8 months. You can store it in a suspended state, but in a room without extraneous odors and at a temperature of no more than + 10 ° C. Resins and essential oils deteriorate quickly. Because of this, unpleasant consequences are possible: diarrhea, belching, flatulence, heartburn, dysbiosis. Headaches are usually caused by impaired fluid metabolism, blockage of blood vessels by fatty acids. This provokes an increase in intracranial pressure, less often arterial pressure.

An effective way to store in alcohol. You need to take 3 parts of freshly washed needles and 1 part of alcohol. Pour so that the needles are wet. Tightly fill the glass container of dry sterilization. Such a blank is stored in the refrigerator for about 3 years, in the basement - 5. Under the lid you need to put a layer of gauze and a layer of parchment paper.

For sauces, spruce needles can be sprinkled with salt - 1 part to 3 parts of needles. Then mix well, so that the needles become wet, and store in the same way in the basement for about 3 years, in the refrigerator for about 1.5 years.

A pillow with needles has a calming effect and is used to normalize sleep. Doctors recommend it in the early stages of epilepsy., But its use in everyday life is not practical.

The best option, which allows you to freely let through the smell of needles, to carry out natural moisture exchange and not to let the needles out, is a napkin made of parachute fabric. But there is a drawback - rustling during mechanical action.

For a long service life, it is better to collect needles in frosty winters. A pillow made of pine needles can last up to 5 years, spruce up to 3, fir up to 2. Next, the needles turn into dust at low humidity, at high - a smell and useful properties can be lost. When stuffing, the size should be 1.5–2 times smaller than the standard.

Add 100 g of yeast for baking, pour needles. Next, add a layer of plant waste, preferably potato husks. Next comes the soil and plant waste, on top of a layer of liquidish stool of cattle. It is good to fill everything with warm water, sprinkle with soil, cover with oilcloth. Humus is ready in 6-8 months. If the needles are young, a lot of potato husks, then the humus is ready in 2-3 months.

If there is no animal waste, you can mix any plants and leaves in equal parts with needles, pour over soil, water each layer abundantly. It is desirable that the water is warm, this accelerates the process of decay. To speed up the process, you need to regularly pour food waste, sprinkle with a thin layer of earth. High-quality humus should shrink at least 3 cm per month. If a lot of liquid forms at the top, you need to make holes so that it seeps into the lower layers.

Humus only on a plant basis during the heat dries the soil. It is necessary to loosen, water regularly, otherwise vegetables become stiff by spring. Vegetable humus is recommended for use on flat terrain. During rains, it accelerates the washing off of the fertile layer. If there is no other way, half of the humus should be beet tops.
