In the Eastern, White Pine is the tallest evergreen tree that is native to eastern North America and one of many Pine varieties that have been used medicinally in various countries from the earliest times. The White Pine is a hardy conifer that grows to a height of 150 feet, or more, thriving in well-drained, neutral soil in sun and a cool climate and covered with a deeply fissured, gray-brown bark. Its branches grow in regular whorls of soft, bluish-green, needle-like leaf clusters (fascicles) of five.
In traditional medicine, White Pine Bark has been used for treating coughs, whooping cough, croup, bronchitis, laryngitis and chest congestion due to colds, helps to expel phlegm from the throat and lungs, for rheumatism, kidney problems, scurvy, and diarrhea.
