I would go for some cedar needles instead.

I have a small amount of sap gathered on a hike today and would love to make sachets, but am having a hard time envisioning how to do it so they don't stick to everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-39627103923192502942008-05-18T11:44:00.000-07:002008-05-18T11:44:00.000-07:00Awesome!

I googled 'pine sap sachets' to see if anyone else had done this, and your blog came up. Altho I can see that you didn't use it for sachets, I like your idea. I have no knowledge of tincturing and the like, but I would love to learn about it. Also glad for the tip about rubbing alcohol because my hands are sticking to everything now. :-)<BR/>I love your blog.Flesh and Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228332173669017791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-66276043910631008212007-09-21T15:03:00.000-07:002007-09-21T15:03:00.000-07:00Fantastic!

Do you separate it after or just melt it all together? Do tell! And do you use a high proof for tincturing? I've tinctured Benzoin and propolis and it takes time.<BR/>I thought about trying to make a old fashioned Pine tar soap, that could be fun. <BR/>~AAnandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082303853835512978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308375110862977162.post-87057673513962384922007-09-20T15:20:00.000-07:002007-09-20T15:20:00.000-07:00yes, it is lovely stuff. It makes a lovely salve ...yes, it is lovely stuff. It makes a lovely salve for burns, scrapes, and drawing infections or splinters. The fresh pitch works well too, but the salve is a bit more user friendly, plus it smells just lovely, like a fresh outdoorsy fall walk in the woods!<BR/><BR/>Have you ever used the sap balls for a wet, cold congested cough?? Swallow it like a little pill, and it is quite the expectorant! One of these days I'm going to whip up a cough syrup that includes a ticncture of pine sap, among other things.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165507134444105241noreply@blogger.com
