Pine Resin - Natures Ultimate Incense and Anxiety Cure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- At so many gatherings and parties I've pulled out a lump of Pine Resin and spread it's calming fragrance around the room and every time I've had people in amazement as to it's calming properties and wonderful scent.
I thought it only fair to make a video detailing how I go about gathering this incredible material and how we use it as an incense.
Not only does the resin smell incredible and fill your home with a warm, citrusy scent but it can also be used to alleviate anxiety. I've used this many a time to quickly calm my anxious feelings and ground myself. It's effects can be felt immediately, just be sure not to get too close as the liquid resin is extremely hot.
If you follow this tutorial and sample the wonder that is Pine Resin I would love to hear from you in the comments. How did it make you feel? Did you use it as a mental health aid?
I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have, drop it in a comment or find me on Instagram as TheWoodlandNomad and I'll be happy to discuss it with you.
Clear your mind and take time to wind down with my favourite incense.
Stay safe and be kind,
Matty

Pine sap draws out insect venom in bites. This is something that I learned a long time ago by an elder. I used it to draw out brown recluse spider venom on a friend's leg. Healed in 3 days.
This right here is why I love the community that social media creates; I may never have learned this fact without your comment.
As someone that loves bushcraft and learning about primitive (I trust it more than modern pharma haha) medicine and first aid this is fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing ♥ 🌲
There is more to it than just the sap. This will sound gross but it works. You need to mix your saliva with it then put on the cleaned bite and cover with a bandaid at least 12 hours. Then reapply and redress. You will see a major change.
Doesn't sound gross, it's the same with stinging nettle, gotta chew them herbs first 😁 thank you, I'm going to look into this more, I'd like to add it to a video I'm making if that's ok? I want to talk about all the different uses for the pine/spruce resin and sap. ♥
@@lorrainebijou4108 stop it... Did you really? Their venom is pretty vicious stuff.
@@TingTingalingy yes I did. She was absolutely amazed at the difference in just one night's application.
I love how absolutely respectful you both are of nature. Glad I stumbled across this video, I plan to go resin hunting soon now! Thanks for the info
Awww thank you! We're glad that comes across in our videos. We adore nature and want to live alongside it and learn its wisdom ♥ good luck, no doubt you'll find some soon 😁
I'm not an expert, but got lowkey nerdy in pine pollen. It's very interesting subject on its own like this was.
But when they release the pollen (yellow powder) will of course fly to the pine cone that are sticky. But the pollen that don't hit goal ends up on the forest floor and works as a very powerful fertilizer for all the other plants in the forest.
I'm constantly amazed how pine is such a gift for nature. Most people just look at it as firewood or building material though...
That's amazing! Mother nature really does create such perfect systems in balance and harmony! Thanks for the brain nugget ☺👍
Bumble bees use pine tar on their wings to purify their hive
I want to be like you. This visceral tug into the forest is getting stronger and stronger every day.
It's where we're meant to be, we're just monkeys with smartphones really. Nothing makes me feel more at peace than a woodland walk :) I hope you can find more time to be in the woods soon, Seth 💚
Bushcraft to Trainspotting in 60 seconds 🤣 Love it Matty.
Love the smell too you're not wrong! 🙌🏽😍
Haha really though! We've had someone take a screenshot of our video and edit it into the Trainspotting movie cover haha.
@@TheWoodlandNomad excellent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've seen some folks with their lighters and incense spoons in the alley by my house! They always seem so relaxed 😌
Hahaha, not convinced their resin smells the same 😅
@TheWoodlandNomad awesome video Btw, I will be trying this!
I've lived near pine tree's all my life and never considered this. 👏
@bigsquidtickler9355 I hope you find the time to make some pine needle tea too 🍵 ☺
Most pine tress are also edible.... Very high in vitamin C. You can make a natural fermented soda with the needles. The White pine is the best 😊
Sounds delicious!! 🌲
I have several trees two hit by lightning I need to make some😅
Love it! An incredible fact about pine resin is that it’s a natural reproductive strategies of pines.. they literally produce it to become inflammable, increasing the possibility of a destructive fire for the habitat thus their seeds can easily germinate and grow…
That's incredible, mother nature sure has figured out some very clever strategies 😁🌲
I just went harvesting yesterday because of your video. I had no idea there was GOLD just sitting there all these years.
This makes me very happy! There's all sorts of treasure, medicine and food out there 😁
Yepper - I'm heading out for free incense search this week 💰
In Mississippi, USA here.
I LOVE the smell of pine, fir, and cedar!
I never thought of using this sap or resin as an incense until I saw your video, thank you!
I’m always purchasing and burning frankincense and myrrh in my house.
Now, I’ll start trying to find some Sap or resin from our local pine trees, which we have millions of, around here!
Aw I encourage you to try it, it's such a fantastic scent, similar to frankincense in that it's a very warm and comforting fragrance. Much more economical and environmentally positive too. Plus you get to go and explore in the woods, it's a win-win 😁
I use a little glass jar to harvest the resin, it's super handy and it doesn't take much room in the bag.
Great idea ☺
I can absolutely vouch for every word said here! I had the pleasure of experiencing this with Matty and Lisa in Bruce for myself, the smell was indescribably beautiful and so relaxing.
Highly recommend! 👌💚
Soooo relaxing 😁 We'll be blowing it up your nose all the time when you come to Scotland, loads of it there as you can imagine 😁 ♥
Incensole Acetate which is one of the terpenes in Frankincense (no reason to suspect it's not also present in pine resin) has been shown to be an antianxiety and antidepressant psychoactive substance.
That's what inspired me to try spruce resin, I adore Frankinsense but liked the idea of having something I can forage at home. Both wonderful, grounding scents. Thanks for the knowledge bomb 💣 🙏
Oh wow! Thank you so much for this. Pine is my favourite tree and I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the smell of that sticky resin since the very first time I accidentally got it all over myself.
Everything you said about how it’s more than just a smell and how it does something to your soul, I know exactly what you mean!
It’s incredibly grounding and evokes something deep within you. A sort of remembrance from times long long ago. I can’t describe it, but it’s like my soul is so familiar with the scent, so familiar with it and so comforted by it. She truly is one of nature’s many blessings.
I always say if I could bottle it I’d wear it as a perfume and now I’ve just found out I can gather the resin and burn it as an incense! I’m so excited I can’t wait to do it! Thank you so much. Great video and so respectful to the beautiful pine 🌲
Much love to you 💕
Thank you for your beautiful comment ♥
Couldn't agree more, I think it taps into the caveman/cavewoman inside of us all, a real primal comfort that we've likely experienced for thousands of years as we gathered around campfires ☺
I have actually got a perfume in which I included some pine resin. It's a mix of frakensense, pine resin, pine needle oil and cinnamon. It's such beautiful scent.
I hope you're home smells like a pine forest soon and it brings you the same level of peace that it brings me, I'm sure it will ♥ 🌲
i love this so much
7:10 That is my kind of anxiety relief
😂 That is until it wears off, then I imagine you get a little...itchy 😅
I live in California, USA, and we have Ponderosa pines around here. Their resin smells like warm butterscotch and summer nights!
Butterscotch! 🤤 That sounds incredible 😁 I might need to see if I can find someone who sells it in the UK!
@@TheWoodlandNomad if you can't find some, I'll send some! Maybe we can trade! I want to smell your resin too. To bad we can't text smells! 😅
Nothing beats the aroma of white birch bark used as incense.
I love making firelighters with birch bark, such an awesome smell, the black smoke probably isn't something to inhale though 😅
@@TheWoodlandNomad How's it different from incense and Myrrh?
I certainly wouldn't put it in a pipe and smoke it!
i haven't got a van (sadly) but i live in small upstairs apartment and this wood be awesome for my anxious household and it connects you directly to nature. love it
Aww I hope you enjoy it and it brings peace to your space 🙏
Thank you for being the Steve Irwin of trees. Sharing knowledge, care, respect and awareness. 🌲❣
🥰 Aw thank you Morgan! I hope you enjoyed my video and thank you for commenting 💚
Living in the southern Baja peninsula i would go out and harvest resin from the Copal trees, more like bushes actually. This resin is a fabulous incense. Check it out next time you go to Mexico!
Aww wow lucky you, I adore the smell of Copal 😍 I'll be sure to if I ever get the chance ☺
Very nicely done - thanks guys! I'm a bushcrafter + psychologist (thanks, youtube algorithm), but I react badly to artificial odours and most perfumes. Gonna try this in the practice and then check the vibe...
Thank you 🥰 I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Still stands as my favourite fragrance to date 😁
In the US, we have a pine tree called Jefferson Pine. The bark smells like vanilla. it is amazing!
Super jealous, that sounds incredible 🤤
travelling in a van , i don't suggest burning on a spoon .. incase you get stopped by police and they want to search further lol!
good video and thanks for sharing :D
Ha, certainly might be a difficult one to explain to a police officer 😅
Thank you 😁
Can’t wait to try this!
I hope you like it as much as I do 🙏
Great video
Thank you kindly 🙏
It's amazing where a person can find pine trees. I'm in an urban area, and sometimes I find it in parks and other plantings. Definitely want to make a test burn, though. Thanks for the post!
They really are everywhere ☺ and many different types too 😁 🌲
I fav is Pinon pine resin. I like it because I purchase it already refined - debris free. It doesn't have a "Christmas tree" scent but more of a musky raw tree odor. I make mustache wax, balm and even soap from this resin. The soap was so amazing....much better than Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap.
Ooh that sounds lush! Do you sell on etsy? ☺
We'd encourage you to harvest your own sometime, perhaps not for using in soap etc because of all the debris but just to smell it straight from there tree, when refined the resins actually lose some of their scent through the heating process ♥ thanks for watching and commenting 🤗
curious why you dropped the lit candle down from the top when that's the whole purpose of the side cut out (to place and remove the tea light)! lol!
It's too small to light the candle in the holder and to put it in lit it's quite the angle and burns your fingers. So always found it easier to just drop it in 🤷♂️
Thank you so much i love this. I always walk in the woods and now the woods are in my home!!
You're very welcome! It's amazing isn't it, being able to have the scent of the outdoors right there in your own home
Thank you. Very helpful advice and insights. Also, appreciate your respect of Nature.
No thank you for taking the time to watch and comment ☺ She deserves all the respect a person can give 🙏 🌿 ♥
Interesting ...thanks 👍I have been burning green hojari sacra frankincense, benzoin Sumatra and copal in my garden for years while i work. I will have to try this one. Smell is something that can really make you feel comfortable calm and relaxed ect etc. Like grandma baking during Christmas 🤗
Mmmm good choices of fragrance 😍 It does doesn't it? I find smell is often the most nostalgic sence, it's usually a fragrance that takes me back to a place from the past ♥
You would love being on my land you could collect enough to last you a lifetime....another great video.stay safe and enjoy making memories 🌱🌿🍂🍃🍁🍄
Haha I can imagine! We get snobby with sap in Scotland because there's so much, only the finest chunks will do haha. Thank you, friend ♥
I've got a piece of resin from a huge fallen pine, and I hold it with equal reverence as you display with yours. It's quite a dark amber in color, almost brown, possibly it's aged, but my gods the smell off that is next level. I burn it sparingly and will probably have the rock for decades haha
Aw wow that sounds fantastic 😍 I'm so glad that other people share the same level of appreciation for a good pine nugget as I do 😁 🙏
great music great vids new sub
happy happy
Thank you so much, and welcome aboard 🙏
Awesome. Like the cozy warming fire in the woodlands camping, using dry pine and other fat wood trees as fuel. Love it and always makes me calm and blissful. Will try this for sure. Will be able to smell the pine fragrance chillin in the crib too❤🔥🙏good luck on your journey
It's exactly that, that entire scent captured and brought into your home, it's absolutely lush and to this day my favourite scent. Just be careful with how flammable it is of course. And you 🙏 ♥
This was absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you so much for this video, I had no idea about this so we're going to give this a go when we're next out. I want to know what it smells like! 😍
Oooh please do, you'll have to let us know what you make of it. Don't spill it 🔥 haha. ♥
Hi nice two see you two. A fantastic video well done. Take care
Sorry it's been so long James, just taking things at a slower pace recently 😝 Stay safe and thanks for watching and commenting mate 😁
I use natural coconut charcoal and that burns hot enough to produce a thick cloud to quickly fumigate a room. This is how I take care of the smell from my cat's litterbox.
Sounds like a good way to get lots of fragrance into the air ☺ But to anyone else reading this, do be cautious that it never combusts, it could very easily burst into flame as the resin is super flammable. Stay safe 🔥 ♥
The Mora Companion is such a cheap treasure, I have two
It's absolutely fantastic for it's price isn't it? The blade never seems to go dull 👌
So I have watched this video b4 several months ago. But..... today I, for some reason, decided to collect some. I got some a week or two ago also and they were orange 🍊.
Today,,,,,, I got some very interesting different kinds
Some looked Old and like the resin was covered in bark almost like the tree had stabbed and then grew new skin over the resin. NOTE: I BELIEVE that tree was severely wounded in the past and as I pulled this off it looked healed underneath. I don't know for sure but it was an interesting haul from the forestall now I am watching vids about refining it and its purposes andnhere you are again. Watching for a 2nd time
Hope you had a nice time in the woods collecting ☺
That's how you find the best stuff, those wounds that are really old, the resin is lovely and firm and the tree is healed up nicely so easier to collect and better leaving the trees with the younger wounds to heal ♥
Hope they refining went well, can be dangerous stuff when cooked down, like hot, spitty tar. But a fascinating substance with many uses especially in bushcraft 😁
Sayah dari petani getah dari indoensia ,sayah tau cara mengambil getah Pinus ..diindonesia sangat berharga getah Pinus..
That's amazing! I'd love to visit Indonesia, I hope you have a wonderful life over there ☺
THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION ❤❤❤
You're very welcome 😁 ♥
I'm literally burning some amazing amber right now! First couple of sources were fake
I collected some pine resin today I had a few clunks that came out a dark blood orange color and some came out whitish clear color I haven't tried them yet but can't wait to try the resin.
Oooh sounds lovely. We'd recommend always keeping them separate as they can have different aromas and it's nice being able to pick and choose. Plus they can sometimes smell a bit cheesy if the tree has been infected 🧀 😂
Oooh love💚this idea! TY ! I plan to search for free incense this week🌲 I used to make a relaxing free foot 🦶soak by pouring boiling hot water over top pinecones, cool a bit, then insert foot (ha) & say ahhh🌲
Hope you've managed to find some. Ooh that's interesting, I'll have to try that some time! 🦵🦵
If you drip some of the molten resin on your skin it will stay hot until it burns you. And sap may be removed from any surface with mineral spirits or turpentine.
It certainly will 😅🔥
That's good to know, thank you 👍
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed it ♥ 🙏
You might don't know...in my country Romania, we use that stuff, often,in the church, going to the cemetery, go around the grave, spread that smoke,believing it's keep away the dark spirits, so we'll done to you.
That's brilliant, thank you for sharing 🙏 it's clearly used much like Frankinsense is in the middle east ☺ Lovely to see it appreciated in such a way. I know I find it taps into a very deep sense of safety, maybe because all the dark spirits have been banished 😁
This is a good video. You didn't him & haw or loose my interest, well done.
Aww thank you, that's lovely to hear ☺
This is amazing! I'm so looking forward to trying this
I hope you love its aroma as much as we do ♥
this looks dodgy as fuck but it's actually the most wholesome lesson i've ever seen lol. thankyou
It looks ao sketchy 😂 Makes sure the curtains are closed haha!
Thank you, it was great to see two so good people.
Aw that's so sweet of you to say 😍 thank you for watching and commenting 🤗 Sending good vibes your way.
Very interesting I've never seen white pine risen before. All the pine trees in my area look really different, the bark is different. They all produce this amber color resin. When the bits with a little bark inside the resin smells even better. But in the park near me it's super abundant. Can find pieces on the ground near the base of the tree. Ive been using it to help my bronchitis, believe it or not the smoke soothes my cough, throat and bronchi tubes. I guess you would call it. Making it feel not so dry.
Aw lovely, sounds like you've got an abundance of lovely pine resin around you 😁 It's hard to find research papers about it's medicinal effects when breathed in but I'm not surprised all the different compounds within the resin help with your bronchitis!
I just picked some, used a mint tin and filled it half way with rock solid white crystal resin. Ill play around with burning methods, 33mm coal puck, oil burner like yours or melt and dip sage in it.
Amazing, sounds like a big success, enjoy!!
This is such an insanely good channel.
Aww thank you so much ♥
You have an insanely good username 😝
"No, officer, I swear! It's pine resin!"
Haha, it's properly one of those 'this isn't what it looks like' moments 😂
Learned so much. Thanks!
No thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you found my video informative 😁
It would be awesome if you made a video about making the perfume!
I'll keep my eyes open for a good batch 🤞 💚
Love this video, thank you! Just curious, is there a better month/time of year to collect? Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it 😁 You can collect all year round. Some of it can be softer and sticker on a hot summers day but it makes no difference to the quality. Also, the proper resin will be firm in all weathers ☺
Font of knowledge - excellent. Thanks
Kind of you to say ☺ thank you ♥
Well done & thank you for making this video!
Thank you very much, appreciate the comment 🥰
I found the video so interesting 👍What is the name of the particular pine tree that you took the resin from?
Just seen your reply from further down. Its a Spruce. Far more common near where I am. Next time out collecting kindling, I'll get me some resin as well.
Super video.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my video 😁
It's actually a spruce tree, I believe it was a Sitka Spruce plantation if I remember correctly. But all UK pine and spruce are suitable. The only exception I know of is a pine tree in the U.S which is toxic.
Hope you find some, I'm sure you will ☺
Thanks for the amazing video ❤ im wondering if there is another way to burn it as opposed to the spoon way just because of how it looks doing it 😂 what about putting it in an oil burner??
Thank you're for watching 😁 Absolutely, I put it in my soap stone oil burner regularly, it doesn't give off as much vapour and I found I needed slightly taller tealights to get it up to temperature ☺
I got some from a Doug Fir also and it smells pretty good. Almost the same as the resin I got from a pine…
They do smell very similar. We've got a collection of different ones now and some are much more citrusy than others ☺
Wonderful vlog both. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me. All the very best wishes. Love always 💚💚💚
Thank you mate! Hope you find some mate, it's wonderful stuff 😁 ♥
@@TheWoodlandNomad hope so, plus all the fun of exploring around the trees. Perfect. Cheers both ❤
Such a great video, thanks guys!! xxx
Thank you so much Jennifer, glad you enjoyed it ☺ xx
Idk if I'll ever do the spoon method, however this was helpful nonetheless. 🙌
It's a good way to fill a spaces quickly but can be a little strong for some ☺ Thank you for watching and commenting 🤗
This is amazing!! I totally need to try it, thanks so much for sharing with so much detail 🥰
You'll have to let us know what you make of it 😁 you're welcome lovely ♥
great knowledge, brilliant vlog, keep well guys.
Thank you Lee 😁 Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe mate ♥
@@TheWoodlandNomad hope to meet you guys soon.x
Wish I had one of those Smell-o- vision thingies!
It's a beautiful scent. You should go find some ☺
@@TheWoodlandNomad Actually, unfortunately, one of our neighbors cut down one of their pines yesterday and I asked to go through the heartwood to get some pitch. Worked quite well and now the Spirit of that tree can have a further life, even though I think they didn't need to cut her down.
Poor tree. Too many trees see felled for cosmetic reasons, not saying that's why they cut it down but I'd love and nurture every tree in my garden if I had one. Are you based in the UK?
I’m trying this in Big Bear California!
Amazing 😍 hope you find a good batch, I'm sure you will 😁🌲
Great video! And I can't wait to try this as I have a very smelly dog and my house testifys of him 😂 but just to note and I'm not knocking you here but that's not a pine tree, it's ether spruce or fir 👍🏼
Hahaa let's hope it covers his scent, I'm sure it will.
You're absolutely right. I still have the habit from being a child and calling every needled tree a pine tree. I should have been more specific in my video. Thank you for sharing ♥
This has been informative. Any tricks to get pine sap off my phone?
I've not tried it but apparently butter lifts pine resin, perhaps you could use that?
Have you tried Tea Tree oil to remove sticky sap from your skin? It's also great for removing glue from a jar after peeling a label off.
I haven't, great tip, thank you 🙏 I'll be sure to try it next time I get covered in resin 😁
Yes, terpens are crazy :)
Clear Brown Amber is what you're looking for
Definitely the best stuff 😁 🌲
Thanks for the geadsup on the pine incense! And the poo incense as well!
Although I know some people that would be a Great prank for! Lol
You're welcome, thank you for watching and commenting! Aye you gotta watch out for the pooey stuff hahaa!
Just a heads up... for pine resin and sap in the US, the sap would be a golden color... if it isn't then it has a disease... especially if it's blue.
Good to see you guys
Thanks mate 😁 Got another one coming soon 👍 ♥
I boil it with flavoring and smoke it, it makes my anxiety leave
That's amazing, not heard of that. What kind of flavouring do you use?
You’ve got our sub !!
Thanks guys, subbed back! Love to connect with other vanlifers 😝 ♥
@@TheWoodlandNomad love the knowledge you two give too!! Definitely something to learn from 🤓
Aww thank you. We just love to learn about everything nature 😁 🍃
Wim Hoff best anxiety relief
Certainly heard great things about his breathwork and cold water treatment. My mum actually got in the river (in Scotland) every day for a year, she saw massive improvements in willpower, motivation and concentration. Amazing stuff ♥
Do you harvest, collect and sell some of your pine resin as well? And if so do you have a website link where I can get some. I love the scent of natural pine versus those toxic incense sticks they sell here in Hollywood, California. Please help me aquire some. Thanks for sharing. You guys are awesome.
Hello 🤗 We do not sell it at present but it is maybe something we'd look into. We'd love to do a one off and send you some but I'm not 100% sure if we're allowed to. Looking at the prohibited shipping items from UK to US it's a bit of a grey area as it talks about food and plant material being prohibited.
We really appreciate your want to buy from us but your best option is probably to search 'Tree Resin' on Etsy, there you will find loads of options that will ship within the US. Frankincense is also massively calming snd provides incredible anxiety and stress relief.
Sending love from Scotland 🏴 ♥
A good amount of the time the sap becomes yellow due to oxidation. But it could be some kind of infection as well.
Yeah an amber colour is a great sign 😁 The more I collect the more in tune I get with the subtle differences in colours and warning signs for the infected ones haha.
My pothead friend asked me if he can dab it, I told him noo. he didn't listen to me and ended up learning the hard way 😅😂
😂 Absolutely molten lava that stuff. Rip your friend 💀
I injest my pine tar powder
How often do you do that? I've heard of people doing it with Frankincense but not pine/spruce.
That is so awesome. I'm so gonna try this. By the way, i can't believe you guys have only 815 subscribers. Come on people, Subscribe to them, great content. Greetings Erik
You really should! Just be careful, it is very flammable so be sure to be gentle with it 😁 Aww Erik that's so sweet of you to say, thank you mate ♥ ♥
Love the content ! Got my subb
Aww thank you so much and welcome aboard! 😁 🎉 ♥
Sap and resin are different things. Birches have sap and pines have resin. It's like the difference between saliva and blood; they're both liquids that comes out of the body, but it's not the same.
I always see this and have wanted a reason to collect it. Thank you so much!!! 🩷
You're very welcome 😁
So THAT'S where the description 'pitch black' comes from
So from reading previous comments I understand that these were Sitka Spruce trees. Do you know what other evergreen trees can safely be used?
They were indeed ☺ Pine and fir trees are fine to use too. Don't ever use Yew trees...for anything. Highly toxic. I believe there is one conifer in the US that shouldn't be used but I'm afraid I don't know enough about US trees to advise.
The pine resin crack spoon jk thats hilarious tho
😅 Definitely one for behind closed doors 😝
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I need to find myself a pine forest.
Is it a seasonal thing or do the trees shed sap all year round?
Thank you for watching Alan 😁 Nope, you can find pine resin all year, it takes years to form too, at least until it goes firm and crystalline ☺
The yellow is just tannis from the wood, not pus or infection.
Typically, yes. But I've definitely discovered some fowl smelling resin and it's always been green/yellow so I do my best to avoid those colours in fear of ruining an entire batch with some contaminated, smelly resin.
Collect it at night time when its chillier out ...and....it wont be all sticky n runny! Well....not as much anyway
Good tip, thank you. Going to have to get gathering in the winter 😝
are there dangers to inhalation...chest been sore and lungs feel not 100% capacity of late
I'm afraid I do not know the answer to that. I'd certainly not suggest direct inhalation if you're unwell. I can't imagine using it as a room incense would cause issues but I can't vouch for that.
If you're looking for natural remedies for lung issues I'd suggest looking into Mullein and Plantane 🙏
Butter will remove resin sap .Cheers
8:53 a bad batch Nothing dodgy at all, Your a pro with a spoon Monsieur Not Dodgy... So how do you get the resin like they do for other trees that it doesn't just oil down like that but burns with charcoal & all that? Or is Pine just one that always liquefies that way?
A lot of tree resins contain larger amounts of gum than pine and spruce. Resin like dragons blood, Frankincense etc don't usually turn to liquid because of the gum content and that's why they're sometimes added to hot coals. Pine is good for melting down to nothing except a little residue and any contaminates like bark/soil etc ☺
