Sugar Pine

• Sugar Pine has been traditionally used in Native American medicine to support immune health, often prepared as a decoction from the bark or needles. This preparation is believed to help maintain overall wellness during seasonal changes.

  The mechanism by which Sugar Pine supports immune function is not fully characterised but may involve compounds such as phenolic acids and flavonoids that have antioxidant properties, potentially aiding in immune modulation.
