Pine can also be used as a respiratory herb for chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, nasal congestion, strep throat, tonsillitis, laryngitis, spasmodic coughs, and asthma.
These effects also make pine a valued medicine for the cold, wet, and phlegmatic qualities of winter that tend to increase cold, dampness, and stagnation in the respiratory and circulatory systems.
Because of its affinity for the respiratory system, pine is often recommended...
You can experience this effect upon immediate ingestion of pine needle tea – its pungent taste instantly opens up the airways, clears your mind, invigorates the senses, warms and energizes the body.

What radicalized me? Watching my brown immigrant mom navigate her new life in America while working with hundreds of immigrant families who just arrived here.

Look into the void
Scream into the void
Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you
Ask the void if it takes milk
Choose a nice mug for the void
And maybe a chocolate biscuit
Lose yourself in the void
