Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Athapaskan is one name for a very broad grouping of Indian tribes, mostly in the Northeast. Anthropologists have huge controversies about who belongs in that group and why. Most Indians tend to ignore these controversies and instead focus on keeping alive what traditions they can. Pine tar, BTW, is a fascinating medicine. It is more used in the Southwest, by tribes like the Pimas and Keresans. However, Edgar Cayce picked up on it and recommended the stuff for a lot of maladies. I used to have some, in a tincture form, which would cure anything, but it is now unavailable anywhere north of Mexico apparently. You can get pine tar in some shampoos and soaps. And i have found it at feed stores in little paint cans -- it's also good for infections of horse hooves. That's different from pitch, which naturally oozes out of trees and has been a bane to Boy Scouts since the beginning. But i thought maybe this digression would be fun since i haven't been able to keep up with the group these past few days. At 02:50 PM 4/1/02 +0000, you wrote: >Thank you, I was.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Thank you for clearing up the difference. I want to make sure I have this right the pine tap and sap are completely different. How is tar harvested? Does it have any of the " pine " oder left to it? Do you have a supplier? Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Pine tar is distilled. I don't know a whole lot about the process, but it's been around for a long time. It has its own unique odor. It's a bit piney, but very strong. Wish i had a supplier. Have been tempted to just pick some up at a feed store -- what they sell for vetrinary use. But there's not a whole lot of written information about the stuff, which is why i hesitate. At 09:21 PM 4/1/02 +0000, you wrote: >Thank you for clearing up the difference.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 I've heard the same thing Elaine and with all the pine pitch I've got around here, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I understand the best way to apply it is raw, right from the tree.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 Michael, From a few of the local Indian "Medicine Men" I've talked to, they say best is to use it fresh from the tree with no processing whatsoever. This way there is no change in the natural antibiotic properties that natural Pine Tar has. Do you have any further data on this???
