Pine Needle Elixir 4 fl. oz. (118mL). Fresh Pine Needles^ infused in Maine-made Apple Cider Vinegar* and Local (Hope, ME) Raw Honey. [^Consciously Wildcrafted. *Certified Organic] Suggested use: 1 tbsp in 1oz water 1-2 times/day, in a favorite cocktail/herbal beverage, or blended into homemade salad dressing. Shake well before use. Sediment is natural. Refrigeration recommended after opening. Your elixir bottle may show signs of developing a vinegar "mother", similar to a SCOBY in kombucha production. This is a natural process due to the nature of the ingredients: raw organic vinegar, raw honey, and fresh fruit/herbs. A "mother" is a sign that your vinegar is healthy, active, breaking down sugars, and fortified with prebiotics! The "mother" is safe to consume, or it can be saved and used as a starter for homemade vinegar. Following the gale winds of autumn and winter which tumble through the landscape, pine boughs large and small can be found as we wend our way through the forest. Buffeted from the tops of the trees that tower above us, they have silently converted sunlight to sugar and sinew and supported the feathery Barred owls that hoot and purr from perches aloft. When to reach for Pine: Pine supports the vitality of the immune and respiratory systems. It is an ancient symbol across cultures of longevity and spiritual protection. Naturally occurring essential oils of pine help to support the respiratory tract and relieve congestion. Pine needles can help to fortify the immune system as a great source of Vitamin C. Both deepening to the breath and invigorating, this elixir is a wonderful companion to seasonal transitions. * *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
