PINE TREE, ALWAYS GREEN

And the most valuable treasure appeared before my eyes on one of my forest walks. The sticky resin clings to my fingers and the light pollen, gold dust, sets out on his annual journey. Associated with the goddess Venus, the pine tree is a symbol of longevity, loyalty and protection. He is one of the most ancient beings, a direct descendant of the primeval forests. Great ally in times of fatigue, deep tiredness and depression. Antibacterial and antiseptic that benefits the respiratory system. His aroma is warm, rough, resinous and woody. Since ancient times his properties are recognized, used as an expectorant, balsamic and antiseptic of respiratory tract. He relieves rheumatic pain and eczema. He's a great ally as a relaxant, relieves fatigue and causes a well-being that only such an ancient being can do. His needles are full of wonderful virtues and vitamin C and pine buds are an elixir for the senses. Pollen is rich in fiber, protein, antioxidants, immune system stimulant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and it goes on and on.... Pine calms the mind and helps it to escape. Essential for those who need to anchor themselves to reality and see life with optimism. The strength that this tree represents and brings is so powerful that in ancient times it was said that whoever picked a pine cone in mid-summer and ate a pine cone every day, would be so strong that he would become immune to firearms. Egyptian god Osiris is linked to this tree, he is a tree-spirit in his primitive state. Goddess Cybele turned her unfaithful lover into a pine tree, but in repentance she wept under his branches, and Zeus promised that this beautiful tree would keep his branches green all year round. Druids made bonfires with pine wood at the winter solstice to draw back the sun. One of the places where you can still appreciate the wild beauty of an ancient pine forest is the Black Wood of Rannoch, a survivor that in ancient times covered much of the Highlands of Scotland. The memory of his strength and longevity, evergreen, ALWAYS
