I've heard that an active ingredient in pine tree needles can. I think it's called suramin or something like that. Here's a link to start your research fren.
I know the sap(?) Has properties that effect the thickness of blood. Monks used to drink it along with a resin. Combined the blood would be replaced by the resin and they would effectively mummify themselves alive (now that's dedication)
Obviously I'm only interested in the pine tea half. But of there are natural treatments available the public must know. If we get forced at gunpoint to take it, it may be an invaluable resource to cope with the damage
Not all pine needles! especially in the US we have a lot of poisonous ones, or things people think are pines, like yew. The traditional ones are red pines from Korea. Eastern White Pine is ok.
Since getting pine needles from conifers that can be consumed may not be the best option for some, here is a product I like.
Optimally Organic Red Pine Needle Oil
The dry needles are not too easy to make tea from, need soaking and boiling. Better to get the powder. Only a level teaspoon will make a pine-y tea, or you could put it in food.

Thanks for the info. I looked at the powders as well but in the end decided on the oil. Only a few drops and I really don't mind the taste.
