Pinaceae
Pinaceae is also referred to as Longleaf Pine, Yellow Pine, Georgia Pine, Southern Pine, Hard Pine, and Broom
Pine. It is commonly found on the coastal plains of South and North Carolina.
The whitish new shoot at the tip of a pine branch can be boiled into a tea that can be used as a substitute for
coffee. It can also be used as a remedy for colds. The green needles of the pine tops can be boiled as a tea and
taken to relieve menstrual cramping. Old, but still green, needles can be boiled with pine gum and taken as a remedy
for severe colds and fevers.
