Spruce and White Pine Pain Relieving Salve
Вставка

- Sometimes healing is as simple as giving the body a bit of relief so it can heal itself. Here is a simple solution to a painful bruising. A client bruised the bottom of her foot. This was the topical salve I made up for her to use for one part of her pain management program.
Forgive the scratches on my finger, I've been out in the woods a bit and like all wild people have gotten a few more bangs and bruises to show off. :)
I made spruce salve with olive oil, bee's wax, and spruce pitch. I've had the same batch for years if I have a burn, scrape, or say cat scratch I apply it. it literally instantaneously kills the pain like benzocain would. But there is no numb feeling. it's an incredible topical pain reliever. Whenever my daughter gets a scrape it's the first thing she wants
I am really happy to come across this video. Thank you for offering this lesson. 😊
That is A LOT of pine pitch for a salve! I gotta try this!
Thanks for the info about adding spruce. I have been using just white pine and it works great on my knee when I overdo and it starts screaming at me. It really takes the pain fast, and lasts a long time. I also make arnica tincture, and am considering trying a combo of the two. I'll add spruce in next time I do a batch, but agree on the beeswax- it's great for a takealong salve and for kids, etc. But I prefer the oil.
Coconut oil and bay leaves with pine spirits is my mix....I will add spruce next batch =)
"...use what you have...", you said at 4:24 and I laughed. You had me on the line with your direct forward marching attitude but when you said that, I swallowed the hook. Lol. Nice video, it left me with a down home comfort lifestyle that most city folk pay top dollar for! You are a strong, smart woman more women could be like. 👍
I subscribed to your channel.
P.s. your friend is most envied by myself.
Thank you, I'm definately going to make this. 😊
Wish you would post more!
I would and do use coconut oil as my go to, as it has it's own pain receiving properties.
Using BEE's WAX is better. You'll have a SALVE that you can Rube on easily. Remember this stuff is very Sticky and hard to remove. You can use ALCOHOL as a Thinning Agent. This stuff will Burn very well too. Mix it with Cotton Balls for a Great Fire Starter. Mix a little Charcoal into the Pine Sap for a Great Glue. Also, you can Add Hair with this Sap to add Reinforcement to what ever Joints your Gluing or need Build Up On. You can use Pine Resin as a preservative for Strings and Rope. Bow Strings. This Pine Rosin when rubbed into the Bow String will help keep your Arrow Nock in place, so the Arrow Shaft isn't moving around on you while taking your Shot. You can use this Stuff as a Quick Tack for Sewing things like Leather and Cloth. It's a very good Emergency Patching System for Canoe that has gotten a Hole or Crack. Also, it will help close a Wound and help keep Wound Clean and Sterile. You can also Eat this Stuff if your Starving. Pine Sap was used as Chewing Gum before Rubber Gum came in. Mix your Favorite Mint and some Sugar and start Chewing. Really, the list of uses is Extensive. Have fun yaw. Remember, (DO UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOURSELVES).................. GOD Bless All The Good You People Do.
I love natural remedies! Would this also work for sore feet after being on them all day?
@BeccaBee; lol...oh yeah your feetzees luv such salve. Spread a little love 💘upon your sole/soul.
*Like **#314**, Subscribed **#466* Informative. Thank you for sharing.
Oh yeah and unlike benzocaine it doesn't wear off in a few minutes. GREAT STUFF
Hi! I was wondering isn't it important to purify the pine pitch before infusing it into anything?
i must say im laughing right now cause I got this sap off tree for fire proses originally and I thought it was funny how it smelt like my moms lip dom. Thank you so much for the vid Iv learnd a lot from it and its help set a new self learning topic for me. thank you (side note what part of world are you in. im in canda and this information in useful casue Im in a weard limbo zone of growing zones ty.)
A smashed pulped onion or leek in a ladies stocking as a poultice over the injured area for 20minutes is a great way to stop severe bruising too should you not have any balm on hand.
So what if you have no oil?
Pretty cool lady
I have tried several pine resins I purchased online, but none so far has the true pine smell I am looking for. I have tried Pinion Pine Resin, a clear/yellow rock pine and no luck.
@Gnome Beard; different pines have different properties as you are finding out. And when you combine several together, the product will be much different than each seperate in their own way.
After I took a class of college chemistry, why some of my formulas worked and some didn't, became so much clearer: Including exactly how you make it.
For instance, some ingredients have to be combined first, which makes another compound, and then add other ingredients to that new compound; whereas add all the ingredients together first and viola the end result is not the two sames...5 exact ingredients...processed (cooked) differently and you can get some radically different formulas!
I love science.
@@thialove2121 how beautiful that one doesn’t need “science” to heal and take care of ourselves. Science likes to take from ancestral wisdom and try to improve upon or dissect it. Don't need it….the medicines work just fine. BTW, I love Gnomes
can you send me some pine needle
8:09 what did you say?
Muslin. , a cotton fabric of plain weave
Endok Ken really doesn’t sound like muslin lmao
Adam Robert Orr 😀
8:08 does it work as well, if you put a piece of a Jew, or a Christian in the salve?
Not on the Hew.
Pine is too effective against parasites
You make it look so easy! Can you reccomend any other natural E.O. that could be put in the salve that doesn't have salicylic acid? Thankyou
What part of the country do you live?
Cool.
