VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS – FURTHER OBSERVATIONS (GENERAL INFORMATION)

Way back in the Middle Ages a physician by the name of Carier discovered that an extract made from pine and fir buds or shoots was a good remedy for scurvy. Later research proved that the buds or shoots of coniferous trees have the highest content of vitamin C. You have here the reason why pine bud syrup, when prepared with the raw juice, as in Santasapina Cough Syrup, has a twofold effect: in cases of catarrh it soothes the mucous membranes and it also improves the general health of the patient because of the pine buds’ vitamin Ñ content.

It is not only wild fruits and berries that are good for us in the spring, there are also a number of wild vegetables that sprout in the milder regions where there is no snow, or where it has melted. To name but a few, we can find dandelion shoots, watercress, nettle shoots, bear’s garlic (ramsons) – and many others that can be used for salads. These plants often seem more like weeds and we might pass them by without a glance. It would be much better if we were to make use of them and their appreciable content of natural vitamins.
