buds, and cambium. A tea can be made with the needles to fight coughs and fevers. As an
ointment, the sap can be used for sores and dry skin, back pain, rheumatism, and earaches.
The ponderosa pine has antiseptic properties; therefore, it can be used to treat cuts, wounds,
burns, and superficial skin conditions. It alleviates respiratory system issues. Vinegar taste and
nutrition can be improved by soaking the fresh needles in wine vinegar for about one month.
The pollen is high in testosterone.
Sap and pitch aren't the same thing. Sap is water-based and contains vitamins and minerals.
Pitch (resin) is hydrocarbon-based and is found only in conifers (it can be used to start a fire,
or water-proof something small).
