Health Benefits
Spruce and Pine have very high amounts of vitamin C. That’s one of the primary reasons it’s so important in the Native American diet. Spruce can be an effective medicinal plant acting especially well on the respiratory system. The reason you don’t boil the needle tea is because the vitamin C is sensitive to heat and may break down into other components. It is a good idea to boil the water and pour it on top of the needles.
