My go-to medicinal remedy for just about everything, is neither herb nor spice. It's foliage though, so I'm gonna use it for this contest despite. While it's probably not in your spice rack, if you live anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, you are likely a short walk away from some you can forage. It's estimated to have been on earth for 153 million years, and may even be growing in your own yard.
I learned about this remedy just a couple years ago, while researching good remedies for covid and the like. An added plus is that it offers protection against toxic shedding as well. I've given some to everyone I love.
Pine Needle Tea
There are many different kinds of pines. Some say white pine is the most medicinal of the pines, so I will show you how to identify that variety. First, all of the pines good for this tea have clusters of needles along the stem, as shown below. White pine has five needles in most clusters, but not all. If you find one cluster of five needles, you've got yourself a white pine.
If you pull one of these clusters off, you'll find them still attached at the stem end by a small woody bit. Many people say they do not like pine needle tea, and this could be because they have not removed that woody bit, which lends the tea an undesirable turpentine flavor. So you have to cut those bits off.
I use scissors to cut the needles off the branch.
The finished product looks like this. Discard the branch, and get ready to make yourself some tea. Just pop all those needles - you'll need to fill your cup at least half full of needles - in a cup, pour some boiling water over them, and let them steep for ten minutes or more. Strain out the needles, sweeten to taste with your choice of sweetener (I use honey for its additional health benefits), and enjoy!
I haven't been able to find a good online source of pine needles, and fortunately I don't have to, because pine trees are everywhere in these parts. After a recent wind storm, I found lots of white pine branches begging to be carried home and processed for tea. I cut the needles off, put them into an open paper bag, and let them dry for a couple weeks. They can be stored like this until needed, so you don't have to go out and pick some when you have a fever and ought to be in bed!
When I am sick, I make tea by the quart. It's good hot or cold. I fill a mason jar 3/4 full with fresh needles, or 1/2 full with dried, fill the jar to the top with boiling water, and steep for ten minutes or more.
This is a good video with info on collecting pine needles and making tea. BushCraftOnFire uses a different method than I do for removing the woody end bits, but I do use her method for making tea, substituting honey for agave syrup.
