Between healing pine trees and a relaxing walk. 🌲

There is nothing better than enjoying nature with a quiet walk.

After discovering this forest, I couldn't resist going back to it, because it has given me a lot of calmness not only mentally, but it helps my physical health as well.

I selected another part of the forest to walk through on my map, as it is so vast that I have to get to know it in sections.

I discovered that most of the trees are pine trees. Pine trees are very good for your health.

I always associate nature a lot with well-being. Everything is in the natural.

Many years ago, in my family, we had an acquaintance who was a professional gardener. His name was Ivo and he knew so much about plants that it was impressive.

He knew the scientific names of plants and their properties, he was a lover of plants, flowers, trees, animals... the whole of nature.

He lent us a book about medicinal plants, typical of Argentina. In my garden I had many of them without knowing it.

I loved him like a grandfather, and he taught me how to prune roses, graft and love nature even more.

He always talked about the properties of pine trees, especially that they gave a lot of oxygen to the environment. This is the property that is most accessible to everyone. As we walk among them we benefit from this property. We oxygenate our organism more deeply.

But pine trees have many more uses, like the ones I told you about last time about pine needles made into tea to boost the immune system.

The most prominent pine tree in this area is the Aleppo pine and according to my research it has the general properties of the other pine trees.

Which indicates to me that it is very good for the respiratory system, for those who for example suffer from asthma.

But pine trees in general are expectorants, so pine tea, not just walking among them, is very good for common ailments such as colds or flu. It is very helpful for lung function.

In the case of coughs it also helps and soothes the throat. A good combination would be pine tea with honey in these cases.

As a child I suffered a lot from sinusitis, and this would have helped me a lot if I had known about it. I like natural medicine too much.

I think that it is not only the beauty of nature that I like, not only what it gives to the eye, but also its properties and what it can help us in our daily life.

The most used part of the pine tree are the buds, which can also be used as a balm, it is antiseptic and antibacterial, so this property is very important to avoid infections for example.

Today there are many people with kidney and gallstone problems and pine is very good for these cases, as the tea is a natural diuretic and helps to prevent problems in these organs and also helps to eliminate problems in these organs.

Nature not only takes away stress and mental fatigue as it did for me on this short walk through the trees. It is also a healer of the body, this casing in which we live on this earth.

Many women reach a certain age and suffer from chronic cystitis, I have had students in that circumstance and that encouraged me to investigate something natural for these ailments.

Pine tea is one possibility, as is cranberry juice. But it has to be taken regularly.

My mother suffers from osteoarthritis, especially in her spine and hips, but also in her hands. Baths or compresses with a preparation of pine buds would be a relief for this ailment. This would reduce the pain in the joints and improve the quality of life.

Fortunately my mother walks a lot and avoids a lot of pain, but it is good to know something that helps with this problem.

I was happy to find this place, which I will continue to explore, knowing that I have the tools that nature gives me and very close to me.

On this occasion this walk helped me to release emotional issues and breathe fresh air, but always keeping in mind the amount of benefits it can bring to me and to everyone.
