What is white pine?
White pine refers to a hard outer layer of white pine, which usually grows on the lower half of the tree as soon as it reaches a specific height. The bark is used for food and nesting materials for many animals and has long been used for people for different healing purposes. It is usually used as a preventive supplement against a number of diseases and conditions and as a treatment of illness and injury after they occurred.
American Indians used white pine bark by soaking in the water overnight and then applied it to the wounds. This was also used by cooking the inner parts of trees and drinking tea as a dysentery treatment. Both were probably partially effective because the bark of white pine contains high levels of antioxidants that help maintain proper reproduction of cells. As a result, it is useful both when repairing diseases and wounds and from preventing certain conditions.
by taking the white pine bark as a supplement can help prevent diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson's disease. UErch cancer can also be prevented, such as skin cancer, as antioxidants help promote the division of healthy cells while maintaining free radicals at bay. Free radicals are cells that show abnormal properties compared to healthy. Most often they blame for cancer development.
The use of white pine cortex can also help promote healthier circulation and blood flow, which helps to prevent certain heart conditions and lead to less difficulties in sitting for a long time or at high height. When used in patients who have been on bed for a long time, this can help prevent discomfort, reduce complications and reduce the number of beds by improving circulation.

It is often used as a natural help in the treatment of a disorder of hyperactivity with deficit attentionSTI (ADHD). Many believe that thanks to antioxidants white pine significantly increases immune function, making it good preventive help for almost any disease.
Consumers can buy accessories of white pine in many health food stores and online on special websites. Both pills and liquid solutions can be purchased. The whole food supplements are generally the best and there are some evidence that suggests that liquid versions can be better absorbed into the body than the versions of the pills, but this has not been definitely proven.
