Zhivitsa - from the word life. People have always appreciated such a natural miracle. The resin seals the wounds on the tree and protects against the penetration of microorganisms and fungal spores, which can destroy the tree.
Nature, having taken care of the self-healing of the pine, has also given us the most valuable wound-healing and immunomodulatory agent. Even during the war, it was actively used in hospitals to treat wounds and saved many lives. The resin of coniferous trees is a powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory natural product. It can ennoble breathing, get rid of many problems associated with the oral cavity (actively used in dentistry).
The gum has a rich chemical composition: resin, fatty acids and succinic acid. Vitamins: vitamin A, E, D, K, R... Trace elements: potassium, iron, iodine, silicon, zinc, manganese, molybdenum ...
The gum has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system. Conifers generally all have a beneficial effect on inflammatory processes of the respiratory tract (which is now relevant). It removes internal parasites due to which well-being often suffers and immunity is reduced.
We periodically chew the resin to strengthen the gums, make flavors, baths, cook balm, wash the floor with the addition gum water (we paint the room from evil "spirits"!) and brew a similar tea from gum to prevent colds diseases.
Ingredients:
1. Zhivitsa - a piece of 1x1 cm
2. Water - 1 glass
Preparation
We find the resin (it's easier to find the already petrified resin), put it in a glass, fill it with boiling water and let it brew overnight (this will color the water and release its beneficial substances into it).
We add such gum water to tea and enjoy life (half a shot per day of a weak solution of gum is enough for us (we remember that there are resins, there are resins and we do not need to overdo it with them).
If you don't want to drink such gum tea, then you can simply rinse your mouth with gum water or chew the gum like chewing gum, then many useful substances will also penetrate into the body with saliva.
Good health to all of us, dear friends! :) We live in an interesting time (it's time to remember about nature and conifers)
