Pine oleoresin how to apply. Pine resin medicinal properties and contraindications. What is spruce resin valued for, what are its properties

Gum is a fragrant, sticky, resinous substance released when the bark of coniferous trees (pine, spruce, fir, cedar, larch) is damaged. Solidifying on the surface of the bark, resin creates a reliable protective barrier that protects the wounded tree from penetrating into it. pathogenic microorganisms or bark beetle pests.

Resin resins of all coniferous species have a pronounced antibacterial, antiseptic, analgesic, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, vasoconstrictive, antiallergic, antifungal, antiviral, and immunomodulatory effect.

In ancient times, people noticed - as the blood of a person runs, so the sap runs from the trees. That is why they called resin - resin. Alive, Zhivaga - the goddess of life among the ancient Slavs. Gum is the sap of a tree's life. They took it in late spring and at the dawn of summer, when the awakened earth joyfully opened flowers and the grasses were wildly eared in the meadows. They were looking for healthy, thick trees, strong and proud, stretching their green palms high into the sky. They took the voluntarily donated blood of the tree, without an incision, as is now practiced, thanked the tree for the life given to them, for healing and help, believing that they would not leave Zhiva-Zhivaga with their mercy, breathe life into the body of the kvelo, raise from the bed.

Yes, and it could not be otherwise - the oleoresin heals 99 ailments, and even banishes the hundredth away. People believed that not only woody blood drives ailments, but restores vitality person, transferring part of his soul.

Centuries passed and people forgot the mercy of their land ... considering modern science woody blood only as a raw material for the production of turpentine and rosin, forgetting past recipes and compounds, forgetting the experience of doctors and healers of the ancients. There are almost no serious studies on the healing properties of resin, no, despite the fact that many modern doctors use it in the compositions of ointments and other medicinal potions.

Physical characteristics and chemical composition of resin

Resin, a colorless viscous resinous substance with a characteristic coniferous odor; product of vital activity of trees, preim. coniferous (in the USSR - pine, spruce, cedar, larch, fir). It is contained in resin passages penetrating all parts of the tree, and is released when it is damaged. Solidifying on the surface of the damaged area, resin protects the tree ("heals the wound", hence the name) from the penetration of pathogenic fungi, bark beetles and others.

The resin contains: 40-65% diterpene, or resin, acids general formulaС19Н29СООН (levopimaric, pimaric, palustral, abietic, dehydroabistinic, etc.), 20-35% monoterpene hydrocarbons of the general formula C10H16 (the volatile part of resin - α- and β-pinenes, karene, camphene, β-phellandrene, limonene, etc.) , 5-20% sesqui- and diterpene hydrocarbons and their derivatives (the so-called neutral substances). Qualitative composition resin acids and monoterpenes for oleoresins of coniferous trees growing in the USSR are basically the same (cedar oleoresin also contains lamberthianic acid), their quantitative composition is different and depends on the breed and type of tree, its distribution area, etc. fir oleoresin contains, in addition , triterpenic acids.

The resins differ significantly from one another in the content and composition of neutral substances (in % by weight): in the resin of Scots pine (Pinus silvestris) - 3-4 (pimaradiene, pimarinol, abietinol, abietinal, methyl dehydroabietate, etc.), in the resin of Siberian cedar (Pinus sibirica) - 7-10 (cembren, isocembren, isocembrol, etc.), in larch oleoresin (Larix sibirica, Larix daurica) -18-20 (larixol, larixacetate, epimanool, epitorulosol, aldehydes, etc.), in oleoresin spruce (Picea obovata, etc.) - 10-12 (neoabienol, epimanoyl oxide, etc.), fir resin (Abies sibirica) - 8-12 (manoyl oxide, abienol, neoabienol, etc.).

The composition of the resin includes:
volatile substances (32-35%) - monoterpenes (a- and b-pinenes, b-phellandrene, camphene, carene, limonene, etc.);
diterpenes, sesquiterpenes and their derivatives (8-10%);
resin acids (77–77.5%) - abietic, lambertian, dextropimaric, dehydroabistinic, levopimaric, pimaric, palustral, sapinic, etc.
higher fatty acid(0.3%) including: lauric, palmitic, palmitooleic, oleic, stearic, etc.
resinols and resinotannols (resin alcohols), rubbers (resin esters), vitamins C and D, succinic acid.

The healing properties of resin

Woody blood is similar in composition, all resins are characterized by a pronounced healing, antiseptic, analgesic effect. However, there are also differences:

The resin of Siberian cedar is excellent remedy to stimulate and restore metabolic processes and blood circulation in the brain, improves the integral activity of the brain, especially in atherosclerosis, injuries and other diseases with a clear violation cerebral circulation(violation of memory, attention, speech, dizziness). Can be used when depressive states, in gerontological practice, senile dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Normalizes cardiac activity, including myocardial infarction. It is advisable to use it for cerebral hypoxia caused by acute viral and mycoplasmal infections, for example, tick-borne encephalitis virus. There is evidence of a preventive effect in neoplastic diseases: enhances the sensitivity of tumors to radiation and chemotherapy.

During the Great Patriotic War, at acute shortage medicines, resin brought invaluable help to military surgeons, in Siberian hospitals she was treated with deep bullet wounds. The most severe and chronic tissue damage, up to gangrene, was treated with resin. In case of fractures, resin was smeared with the place of injury - and the bone grew together faster.

Resin showed itself well in the treatment of diseases gastrointestinal tract. Gum is used in small doses inside - with peptic ulcer stomach and duodenum, hemorrhoids, heartburn. Resin improves the intestinal microflora, helps to cope with dysbacteriosis. Resin is useful for pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, catarrh, colitis, gastritis, hepatitis, cholecystitis and enterocolitis. Resin is used as an epitalizing agent for various ulcerative and erosive processes, for rubbing with rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, and colds of the respiratory system.

Resin is an excellent tool for stimulating and restoring metabolic processes and blood circulation in the brain. It improves the integral activity of the brain, especially in atherosclerosis, trauma and other diseases with a clear violation of cerebral circulation (impaired memory, attention, speech, dizziness).
There is evidence of the preventive effect of resin in tumor diseases: it increases the sensitivity of tumors to radiation and chemotherapy.

It disposes patients for treatment with resinous substances with non-strict recipes and a simple technology for preparing at home - seasonings, drinks, tinctures, kvass, teas, decoctions, extracts. And an accessible form of procedures - baths, lotions, massage, rubbing, instillation, inhalation.

Recipes for the use of resin

For outdoor and internal use make ointment-balm. In its composition: resin, propolis, beeswax, powder of dried plantain leaves, meadowsweet, linseed and St. John's wort oil.

With bruises, diseases of the joints, spine, beginning boils, light burns, cracks in the fingers, herpes on the lips, the ointment is rubbed into sore spot within 3–5 minutes. Can be up to 3 times a day.

With a cold - lubricate the wings of the nose, the area maxillary sinuses, bridge of the nose and forehead. When coughing, they put mustard plasters and then lubricate the reddened skin with ointment. You can use ointment instead of massage cream and to prevent frostbite.

With bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, stomach ulcers, a dose of ointment the size of a pea should be added to slightly hot milk or tea. You can in a warm decoction of cetraria. Drink 3-4 times a day, 150 gr., 15 minutes before meals, preferably with honey. The course of treatment is from 10 days to 6 months.

Resin tincture for sexual weakness

With sexual weakness, pour 1 teaspoon of pure resin into 500 g of vodka and put in a dark place for 7 days. Take 15 grams twice a day before meals. Or 30 grams before bed. The course of treatment is 2 months with a break of 10 days between them.

Gum oil for stomach ulcers and cataracts

To do this, you need to collect May resin (sap). Dissolve it in vegetable oil (preferably linseed) in a ratio of 1: 4. Then strain through 4 layers of gauze, let stand for a day, drain carefully with a clean syringe into a dark bottle and store in the refrigerator.

This oil is used internally - in the treatment of stomach ulcers (1 | 2 teaspoon, 3 times a day), externally - in diseases of the joints (instead of a massage cream) and cataracts. To do this, the oil is instilled 1 drop into the eye at night. There will be a slight burning sensation, but it passes quickly. Course - 2 months.

Ways to get resin

Resin is obtained by regularly making incisions on the tree trunk during the growing season (tipping) and collecting it in special receivers. The yield of resin depends mainly on the type of wood and climatic conditions. In the USSR, mainly Scotch pine is subjected to tapping, while the average yield of resin is 1.0-1.1 kg / year. The yield of resin from trees of other coniferous species is much lower: cedar 0.6-0.8 kg, larch and spruce 0.3-0.5 kg.

When extracted, resin quickly thickens in air, changes color to light or dark brown, becomes watered, clogged. Commercial resin is characterized by the content of volatile terpenes (10-20% by weight), H2O (2-10%) and mechanical impurities (1-5%). Gum is soluble in diethyl ether, in abs. ethanol, acetone, worse - in gasoline, does not dissolve in water.

Scotch pine resin is the main raw material for the production of rosin and turpentine. Recycling pine resin consists in removing water, cleaning from litter, distilling off volatile monoterpene hydrocarbons with steam (in this case, turpentine is obtained) with simultaneous fusion of solid, resin acids (rosin is obtained). Resin of larch, cedar, spruce, fir is a raw material for the production of α- and β-pinenes, balms (including medicinal ones), immersion oil, the so-called neutral larch resin, glue-paste for paper sizing, repellents and others.

Processing of larch gum includes: purification, steam distillation of volatile terpene hydrocarbons, followed by rectification, saponification of the non-volatile part with alkali, extraction of neutral substances with gasoline, boiling of the extract to obtain a neutral larch resin (first obtained in the USSR), boiling of salts of resin acids to obtain glue-paste . The processing of resin of cedar and fir consists in purification, thorough filtration and subsequent partial distillation of volatile monoterpene hydrocarbons to obtain fir and cedar balsams. The global volume of turpentine harvesting is more than 700 thousand tons / year (1987). (one)

Dosages and methods of application of resin

Since resin is potent natural remedy, then the concentration for care products should be no more than 3-5%, for medical preparations external use - no more than 50%, for drugs for internal use - no more than 5% of the share in the solution.

The ability of coniferous trees to accumulate healing power nature has been known since ancient times. Pine resin, released from a cut or broken trunk, hardens after a while, thereby protecting the tree from the appearance of fungi, insects, and bacteria. This resin is popularly called resin, it has healing properties.

Thanks to the acids and carbons in its composition, it received a very wide application. In ancient times, extracts of the resins of coniferous trees were used in the preparation of embalming solutions. Generations of pre-war and post-war times used healing remedy to strengthen teeth and heal wounds, cuts and abrasions.

Medicinal properties

Pine resin is often used for both external and internal use. In folk medicine, experts recommend using healing pine juice for a wide variety of ailments:

For cooking healing balm often added to pine resin Cedar oil. Such an elixir is widely used in folk medicine for many diseases associated with the joints, upper respiratory tract, and kidneys.

With a toothache, simply chewing on a frozen piece of resin is enough to relieve pain. Residents of Siberia and the Caucasus make a special ointment based on pine sap with the addition of medicinal herbs, which should be rubbed into the gums with periodontal disease, tartar.

In the form of a turpentine balm, resin is used for diseases of the pancreas, alcohol or toxic poisoning, with pancreatitis. "Tears" of pine and cedar, as well as spruce resin help with diseases of the gallbladder, stones, hepatitis.

Cleansing the body with resin

A useful coniferous product, donated by nature itself, can be used not only for the treatment or prevention of diseases, but also for cleansing the body. The inhabitants of Siberia are distinguished by special health and longevity. This is the merit of resin, which must be used correctly.

The cleaning procedure itself is quite simple, it can be easily carried out on your own. Resin tincture, which is sold in a pharmacy, is taken in a course of 79 days without a break. When cleansing the body, it is important to strictly observe the dosage and listen to the signals of your own body.

The internal intake of resin starts the process of removing toxins, which can exacerbate chronic diseases. Thanks to the life-giving substances contained in the preparation, there is an increase in phytoncides that destroy viruses and pathogenic cells. As a result, immunity is strengthened, the work of the body becomes stable and more efficient.

In case of discovery allergic reactions or severe malaise, the cleansing process should be stopped. After a recovery course of 10-12 days, it will be possible to continue again. During treatment, to enhance the action of gum, experts recommend drinking more fluids. This will help speed up metabolism, improve the absorption of the drug. As a result right process cleansing, compliance with all norms and dosages, you can see the following results:

You need to take the drug every morning, on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink the tincture 30-40 minutes before meals. On the first day, you need to drink 5 drops of tincture without diluting it with water. The taste of the drug has a pronounced bitterness, if you can not endure after taking 25-30 minutes, you can slightly rinse your mouth or eat a little honey. On the second day of the course, 10 drops of resin should be taken, on the third - 15.

Each subsequent day, you need to add 5 drops of the drug until the fortieth day. Already on the 41st, the amount of the drug taken is reduced by 5 drops. On the 79th day, the last 5 drops of the tincture should be taken. In the first half of the course, when there is an increase in the drug, toxins and toxins are actively removed from the body. Only in the second half does recovery begin, a general improvement in condition is noticeable, a surge of energy is felt.

If you look closely at coniferous trees, you can replace broken branches or cuts on the trunk with droplets of a transparent resinous liquid yellow color. This is nothing but a sap. Since ancient times, this substance has been used to treat many diseases, more often residents of Siberia or those places where coniferous trees grow: spruce, pine, cedar. In today's article, you will learn what pine resin is, when its use is good for health, and what diseases can be cured with it.

Resin is the resinous sap of a pine tree (similarly), but it is a thick mass that appears when coniferous wood is injured. It stands out from the cuts of wood and freezes on the surface. The hardened juice in the air is called scientifically - barras, and among the people - sulfur, although with the same name chemical element from the periodic table, it has nothing in common. And, perhaps, many in childhood chewed this sulfur, as chewing gum. I also chewed it as a child, not even suspecting how useful it was.

The function of resin is to protect the plant from getting into the wood of bark beetles, fungal spores, promotes speedy recovery and healing of the tree structure.

During the years of the First and Second World Wars of the last century, when there were not enough medicines in hospitals, thanks to pine resin, more than one thousand ordinary soldiers were cured. And it is not for nothing that it is called resin - the resin got its name from the word "survive, heal."

Pine resin helped hunters in the taiga when they went fishing for one or two weeks or longer. With its help, they treated not only wounds, but also escaped from colds. But the use of resin is much more extensive.

What is useful pine resin

The uniqueness of the medicinal properties is explained by the chemical composition, however, like the rest of the flora. What is useful pine resin?

Approximately three-quarters of the chemical composition is occupied by resin acids, retinols - resin esters, fatty acids and succinic acid micro - macro elements, vitamins.

• Vitamins - A, D, E, C, K, PP, group B;
• Trace elements and minerals - potassium, iron, iodine, phosphorus, copper, chromium, zinc, barium, cobalt, molybdenum.

Surprisingly, with such a viscous resin consistency, it can move along the passages inside the wood. The resin contains substances - turpentines, they are good solvents and allow the resin to remain a liquid, albeit a very viscous one.

Medicinal properties have a pronounced

• antiseptic and antibacterial action able to cope with many pathogenic microbes, viruses and fungi,
• anti-inflammatory,
• wound healing,
• analgesic properties.

In addition, this powerful immunostimulator and an antioxidant.

On the basis of pine gum in the industry, gum ointment and derivatives of this substance are made: turpentine and rosin. Purified turpentine is quite widely used in official medicine, it is part of many rubbing ointments for diseases of the joints and spine, is used for turpentine baths, for inhalation in diseases of the respiratory tract. Rosin in modern conditions used for tuning stringed instruments.

On the basis of turpentine oil, the substance Olimetin is made, which is used to treat cholelithiasis.

Contraindications

There are practically no contraindications to pine resin, as well as preparations made on its basis. Harm from the use can only be in the presence of individual intolerance. To check if there is an allergy to pine resin, it is enough to inner surface forearm rub a small amount of resin and wait a few minutes.

• if you wipe the awl or knife with an oiled cloth, then the resin will not stick to them;
• resin is cut off from damaged naturally trees;
• it accumulates under the peel, where there are tubercles.

On the advice of mother-in-law treated homemade ointment from pine resin and sea ​​buckthorn oil. The result is just great! The pain was removed already on the 3rd day, and a noticeable improvement came about a week later.

Svetlana Viktorovna (village of Pankratovo, Nizhny Novgorod region)
