This is so cool!
I always have loved the aroma of pine, but never knew it contained such medicinal properties. I'm ready to run out of my house and go collecting pine needles now :D

It's really awesome that you have this information about your family history. Not so awesome how people were treated in regards to natural medicine. Seems to mirror how so many people have been imprisoned for cannabis, and even in legal states they will criminalize growing outside of pre-defined legislated laws, like if you have an extra plant.. Really crazy stuff, but we know that it's because of a profit based corporate medical system which relies on keeping us sick. Really sad but we must keep pushing against it.

It's great to see how you and your husband work together so perfectly to maintain this healthy natural lifestyle.

Great post! :)
