Thousands of people go to the forest on weekends in the summer, pick mushrooms, berries, flowers, just relax and breathe the air. In winter, ski trips are organized. The benefits of such a rest for healthy people can hardly be overestimated.
In coniferous forests middle lane, in the north and south, there are usually sanatoriums in which those who no longer need bed rest are treated and restored to their health. The stay of the sick in the coniferous forest, as a rule, gives a good effect, contributes to more quick recovery strength, health and performance.
However, practical experience shows that the coniferous forest can be harmful to health.
Who is needles harmful to?
Some people suffering from cardiosclerosis, angina pectoris, hypertension, heart disease, bronchial asthma feel worse in a coniferous forest (especially in a young pine forest) in the warm season. They develop shortness of breath, palpitations, heaviness and pain in the region of the heart and behind the breastbone. Often there is headache, dizziness, sleep worsens, the person becomes irritable. Moreover, as observations have shown, the more severe the heart disease, the more pronounced the oxygen deficiency and the worse the patient feels in the forest.
For some, a deterioration in well-being is noted already from the first minutes of being in a coniferous forest, for others - after 10-15 days. What caused this?
Conifers are known to constantly release turpentine and other aromatic substances. The needles also release phytoncides (special volatiles that kill microbes) and a large amount of ozone. Studies have shown that it is on hot and calm days that the content of aromatic substances (especially turpentine) and ozone in the air increases significantly. At the same time, in the air of fields adjacent to the forest, where the same patients feel well, as a rule, it was not possible to detect the presence of turpentine. This is the "catch" of walks in the coniferous forest.
In the cold season (from September to April), the release of aromatic substances by conifers is significantly reduced. Therefore, for those who are harmful to needles, it is better to rest in it in autumn, winter or in early spring.
Purity forest air, oxygen saturation, silence of the forest make it possible to recommend health walks, especially in winter, to almost everyone.
are of great economic and environmental importance. They are some of the most valuable forest builders in our northern hemisphere, these forests have the function of regulating the climate, preserving water reserves. In these forests, a very large amount is harvested various types berries and mushrooms. Taiga is home to an incredible number of species of the most valuable animals and birds.
The air in pine forests has very healing properties, this air is especially useful in the treatment of lung diseases. For reference: the air in such a forest is more sterile than in the operating room. In the thickets 
pine forest valuable fur animals (sable, squirrel and many other types of valuable animals) are very common. But pine nuts are rightfully considered one of the most valuable gifts of the taiga. They grow on elfin, Korean and Siberian pines... Pine nuts are rich (about sixty percent) in pine nut oil.
This oil is the most important product all, almost without exception, the food industry. The wood of the cedar pine is also widely used by man. Our great - great - great ... great-grandfathers and grandmothers also noticed that cedar pine is a highly durable material that is resistant to decay. It is for this reason that lumber from cedar pine have become very widespread in the manufacture of furniture (in a cabinet made of cedar pine, the moth does not start), in construction, and 
many other, varied and not very, types of production.
One more trade cannot be ignored - the extraction of resin. This very valuable product is processed, getting turpentine and rosin from it. If we also take into account that vitamin C is obtained from needles in simply incredible quantities, and charcoal is made of excellent quality from hemp (remaining after felling), then without exaggeration, it is not only possible, but also necessary to say that there is no more valuable gift from our mother earth than pine forests. Among other things, pine trees perfectly clean the air even in heavily gassed metropolitan areas, they are very beautiful and durable. It is for this reason that pines are more and more often found in city parks, alleys, flower beds (and they feel noticeably better than other plants).
The beauty of the pine forest amazes the imagination of a person who sees it for the first time. Just a gigantic, innumerable, variety of plants, animals, birds and insects is capable of "wiping its nose" in any exotic rainforest. In addition, being in a pine forest is not only pleasant, but also very useful.
Perhaps nowhere do we breathe so easily as in a pine forest! Full breasted breathing in the fragrant air, we seem to be filled with fresh strength and forget about the worries of the past day.
The healing properties of the pine forest have been known for a long time. Our great-grandfathers also laid out pine and spruce branches at home during epidemics. The whole secret is that coniferous trees release phytoncides into the air - biologically active substances that can destroy different kinds bacteria. It is for this reason that most of the sanatoriums are being built in close proximity to coniferous forest... Daily walks can heal a person from a huge number of diseases. respiratory organs, including tuberculosis.
And what is the use of contemplating the beauty of the pine forest! Slender, thin, translucent shrubs and a golden carpet of fallen needles and turf create a magical lace. The sun plays on thin cobwebs. This whole wonderful picture is complemented by an orchestra of forest sounds - the singing of birds, the sound of a woodpecker, the rustle of the wind in the crowns of trees. Isn't this the best protection against stress and chronic fatigue, which have already become a familiar part of our life.
But even this does not exhaust the benefits of the coniferous forest. Anyone who has ever tried pine cone jam will never forget this strong coniferous aroma. A huge source of vitamin C and inhalation in one bottle. And if, slowly chewing a lump from such a jam, then it quickly ceases to bother a sore throat.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to walk in the coniferous tree every day. 
forest. In this case, you can use pine essential oil, which has a pronounced cosmetic effect, heals many diseases, disinfects the air in the room and has a positive effect on the nervous system.
The question of the ecology of the pine forest has long remained open, with the beginning of the "age of plastic" our forests were flooded with heaps plastic bottles, packaging and other "achievements" of civilization. Mountains of broken glass and household waste no one is surprised at the once picturesque meadows. Modern people as if they had forgotten the simple truth "I rested in the forest - clean up after yourself." Such pollution is slowly killing the forest, but it gives us a respite to change our mind, in contrast to the more violent and impetuous enemy - fire. Usually the reason forest fires spontaneous combustion becomes due to broken glass, or unstoped fireplaces left after picnics. The terrible consequences are known to everyone: the destruction of the unique fauna with all its inhabitants, the fire of residential buildings.
Often, we come to the forest, bringing with us the hustle and bustle of the city, we turn on loud music, instead of resting in the silence of the forest, we disturb the peace of its inhabitants.
I would like to believe that one day we will come to understand what kind of wealth belongs to us, we will learn to appreciate the beauty and benefits that the pine forest generously shares with us.
When in last time have you breathed in the scent of forest flora, wandered along winding paths among coniferous trees, heard the sound of a woodpecker or the singing of a cuckoo, admired the view of a forest lake?
Someone will say that quite recently, someone a month ago, someone a year, and someone in general remembered the holidays at their grandmother's in distant childhood. As for those who have not experienced all the above sensations for a long time, they should be advised one thing: “Throw everything urgently! Throw your pens, calculators, mice, keyboards, take off your ties and business dresses, put on loose clothes, throw all the bosses and subordinates out of your head and let's go to the forest! "
Questions "why?" and "what's the point?" please do not ask. So everything should already be clear and understandable to everyone. Right now, while sitting in the office or at home, open the window, free your neck from pressing clothing and breathe in deeply.
How did you feel? This is the call of nature. Your body suffers from the stiffness and heaviness of the air, lack of oxygen and movement. It's time to give your body what it wants and needs so badly - Fresh air combined with physical activity.
Walk in the coniferous forest
Nowhere will you breathe so easily as in a coniferous forest. With the first breath of this fragrant air, you will feel a surge of energy and immediately forget about the "urgent" city affairs.
Healing properties coniferous forests have been known for a very long time. During epidemics, our ancestors laid out spruce and pine branches in their homes for the purpose of disinfection. The fact is that conifers release biologically active substances into the air that destroy various bacteria. These substances are called phytoncides. The trees that most intensively emit phytoncides are pine, maple, birch, viburnum, poplar, jasmine, magnolia, willow. The amount of phytoncides emitted by trees depends on the weather conditions: on sunny days, they are released much more than on cloudy ones. The greatest amount of phytoncides is produced by trees at the beginning of summer.
It is not for nothing that all rest houses and sanatoriums are built near coniferous forests. Here the air is saturated with oxygen as much as possible, has a pleasant aroma that has a beneficial effect on the body, mood, general well-being... Such air promotes healing from a huge number of diseases related to the respiratory system, including tuberculosis. Many studies speak of sterile microflora of pine and cedar forests, claiming that trees in these forests can kill tubercle bacillus.
With regard to relieving stress, tension and chronic fatigue, the coniferous forest turns out to be an indispensable medicine in the fight against these very common ailments. Forest air ions do an excellent job with them, having a positive effect on the human body, calming its nervous system, bringing it back to normal blood pressure improving ventilation of the lungs.
The very contemplation of tall slender pines and firs, lush shrubs, contemplation of all the beauty of the forest, flickering sun rays among the branches of trees intertwining over your head, the sounds of the wind lost in the foliage - all this can create peace within you and open the way to inner harmony.
However, heart patients and hypertensive patients in the coniferous forest may experience breathing problems, tinnitus, headaches or heartaches. For such people, walks in a mixed or deciduous forest are recommended.
What do you need to walk in the woods? A few simple and quite expected things:
- You, in person
- +1 or maximum 2 people
- The desire to feel the beautiful
- 2.5-3 hours of free time
Let's summarize and supplement the main advantages of walking in the forest, which have a beneficial effect on a person:
- Getting oxygenated air, which stimulates blood circulation, improves appetite and increases brain activity. Your lungs will fill clean air devoid of pathogenic bacteria. It is known that one hectare mixed forest produces up to 200 kg of oxygen and absorbs the same amount carbon dioxide in a day. There is practically no dust in the forest - settling on leaves and branches, it is then washed off by rains and goes into the ground.
- A walk in the woods can be equated with physical activity... Long walking is in no way inferior to running in improving the body. While walking, blood circulation and heart function are improved. People who spend about an hour a day walking every day are less likely to develop coronary heart disease than hypoactive people. Walking is also a great way to prevent varicose veins and lose weight. Did you know that for an hour of walking we lose about 300 kcal? And we usually walk in the forest for more than an hour. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to walk in the forest every day, then the forest can be replaced with the park closest to your home.
- The psychological effect of walking in the woods cannot be overemphasized either. If we turn to antiquity, then we can give a great example demonstrating the attitude of people of the past to nature: the ancient Roman thinker Aristotle gave his lectures while walking. He believed that this contributes to a better assimilation of the material. And he was undoubtedly right. We should not forget past experiences. Try to relax as much as possible while walking. Do not get hung up on thoughts, let them go, let them fly into your head and fly out of it easily and quickly, without stopping. Solutions to difficult life questions usually come when our mind is free of thoughts, when we are ready to hear the answers.
- Two-hour walks in the woods are an excellent way to prevent myopia. In the forest, you always look into the distance, unlike situations at home or at work, where your eyes are constantly tired of computer monitors and focusing on nearby objects when cooking, repairing, sewing, etc. By focusing on distant objects, you allow your eyes to relax. Green color forests contribute to more relaxation and calming of both your eyes and your nervous system.
Coniferous therapy is a proven way of fighting many diseases for thousands of years, as well as their timely prevention.
It is not for nothing that there are legends about the health of Siberians. But the "Siberian health" and longevity is largely due to the unique climatic features region, which is also called "green lungs of the planet". With this honorary title Northern part Eurasia owes it to the evergreen northern beauty - pine.
Fortunately, pine oases are found not only in the tundra and taiga, in Ukraine there are also pine tracts available for recreation and health improvement. On the territories of pine forests, dozens of holiday resorts, tourist centers, recreation camps for children have been built, and often people, while resting in these unique zones, do not even think about the benefits of such a vacation.
Healing pine
It is estimated that one cubic meter of coniferous forest contains no more than 300 bacteria, that is, the air here is practically sterile! Air disinfection in pine forest occurs due to phytoncidal volatile substances that pine scatters. In addition, essential oils of pine, being oxidized with oxygen, release ozone, which has healing properties.
The unique pine air is especially useful for people who have various diseases respiratory tract up to pulmonary tuberculosis. Living on the territory of a pine forest contributes to the normalization of breathing, the amount of sputum in patients decreases, and the cough calms down. We can say that pine forest is a kind of giant natural inhaler.
By the way, our ancestors also determined that pine air promotes a speedy recovery and therefore generously laid pine branches in the room where the patient is. They did not forget about preventive measures during epidemics - the needles in the house neutralized the evil bacteria.
Do not forget about the experience of previous generations for people with respiratory diseases. And parents, whose children have the status of "frequently ill", are simply obliged to think about a trip to a boarding house or sanatorium located in a pine forest. Hundreds of children who were not affected by any medications were healed thanks to the natural pine environment.
Forest treatment
Is your goal to improve health, “harden” bronchi, get rid of cough? Go to the edge of the pine forest. Best of all during the warm season, when the pine air is most useful. Bring plenty of clean towels, T-shirts, T-shirts and start your procedures. Wipe yourself off with a damp towel every hour throughout the day and change into a clean T-shirt. By the end of the day, you will notice that the cough will recede, and breathing will become much easier. Repeat the procedure several times (for example, over 10 days) and for a long time, and maybe even forget about the illness forever.
What else does pine heal
Choosing a boarding house located in a pine forest for treatment or recovery, tune in to the maximum benefit from this unique gift from nature to man.
Nervous system Pine air is a sure remedy for nervous diseases and an excellent natural antidepressant. Walking in a pine forest, inhaling the resinous smell of pine needles and listening to its rustling, a person gains peace of mind, inner harmony, distracted from everyday worries. No wonder the coniferous aroma is used in aromatherapy and is an excellent relaxant, and pine needles baths are an excellent remedy for nervous diseases.
A remedy for vitamin deficiency. Scurvy is a popular disease among sailors, it was from it that people died famous billam Barents and Vitus Bering. The disease is caused by a lack of vitamins, and hundreds of lives would have been saved if the great discoverers of the northern lands knew about the saturation of needles with vitamins. Just imagine: needles contain as much vitamin C as black currant and sea buckthorn! Indigenous Siberians, knowing about this, ate young needles and did not even know which terrible disease brave sailors perish.
Pelvic diseases. Those who, due to the nature of their professional activities, have to sit a lot, often have to deal with lumbar pain, hemorrhoids, etc. Pillows for a chair made of fallen but clean needles, as well as spruce or fir, are simply irreplaceable for such people. If you constantly sit on such a pillow, the disease will gradually recede (of course, you should not rely only on the pillow - it is part of the general therapy).
Pine saves from allergies
New treatment method develops in Sweden seasonal allergies- using a spray based on pine powder
Treatment of teeth and gums. Again, this method of treatment and prevention was known to our ancestors and was widely used in the nascent dental practice. Decoctions and infusions from needles and spruce cones are still used as a remedy for the treatment of dental diseases and bleeding gums, as a general strengthening and prophylactic agent. Today, pine needle extracts are found in many toothpastes, medicinal ointments and gels.
Pine here, pine there ...
In general, it is difficult to find that area in medicine where pine would be useless. At correct application it is effective for rheumatism, joint diseases, kidney and genitourinary system diseases.
But, by far, the most useful pine tree in its natural area a habitat. So find an opportunity and go to the pine forest for health: physical and mental.

7 facts about the benefits of conifers
We all know how good it is to breathe in a coniferous forest - and these are not empty words. The air in such a forest is literally saturated with phytoncides - biologically active substances, which have properties to destroy pathogens. They have a destructive effect even on the tuberculosis bacillus, which is why tuberculosis sanatoriums are usually built in pine forests.
Scientists have calculated that the air in a coniferous forest contains no more than 200-300 bacteria per one cubic meter, that is, compared to the air we breathe in public transport - it is practically sterile! And that is not all. Walking in a coniferous forest relieves fatigue and nervous tension, activates gas exchange in the lungs and, accordingly, improves breathing. First of all, it is necessary for smokers and those who most spends the day in a poorly ventilated room.
Fact 2. New Year's mood
Decorate the tree for Christmas and new year holidays in Russia they first became under Peter 1, who adopted this custom from European neighbors. The tsar's decree said: "To make some decorations from trees and branches of pine, spruce and juniper along the noble and passable streets at the gates and houses ...".
For two centuries, the tree was the favorite of children and the main attribute of the holidays, until it suddenly found itself in disgrace. In 1918, the Bolsheviks branded the holiday tree a bourgeois relic, they associated it with the disgraced religion. The tree remained banned until 1935, when the idea came up to celebrate not Christmas, but New Year.
Fact 3. Remedy for vitamin deficiency
And this pure truth... The needles contain at least 200 mg% of vitamin C - the same amount as in black currant and sea buckthorn, and 7 times more than in lemons.
In those distant times, when the great sailors - Vitus Bering, Bill Barentsz died from scurvy, and Magellan almost died, having lost 70% of his crew while searching for a new route to India, the Siberians did not even know about this terrible disease. The fact is that they ate young needles.
Recipe for vitamin infusion against scurvy: pour four glasses of fresh needles with three glasses of cooled boiled water, insist three days in dark place, drain. Take half a glass 2 times a day.
In addition to vitamin C, the needles also contain provitimin A (carotene), vitamins E, K, P, B1, B2, B6, PP and H. In terms of the composition of the needles, not only is not inferior to pharmaceutical multivitamins, but also surpasses them, because it contains everything natural vitamins.
Fact 4. Lumps from a stroke
American scientists have proven that substances from the tannin group that are contained in pine cones may help treat strokes due to its ability to prevent brain cell death. The experiments on mice were successful. Now it's the turn to create a medicine.
Fact 5. Protection against influenza
In the midst of the h2N1 flu epidemic (in October 2009), Academician Oleg Ivanovich Kiselev, director of the Research Institute of Influenza of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, advised Russians to wear gauze masks soaked in essential oil of coniferous trees: pine, fir or larch in public places. According to him, "no viruses will pass through such a mask."
Fact 6. Coniferous baths from nerves
The pine bath soothes, relieves fatigue and improves vitality. Therefore, it is often prescribed for vegetative-vascular dystonia, insomnia, neuroses, general fatigue.
For a coniferous bath, both liquid coniferous extract (100 ml) and dry (100 g) or in tablets (1-2 tablets) can be used. The extract is dissolved in warm water (36-37 degrees). When taking a pine bath, it is very important that the area of the heart is not covered with water. The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes. Baths are done daily or every other day, the course of treatment is 10-15 sessions.
Baths with a decoction of larch needles are taken for gout and other joint lesions.
Fact 7. Natural antioxidant
In wood Siberian larch contains a unique natural antioxidant - the bioflavonoid dihydroquercetin (DHA). Its ability to neutralize free radicals exceeds the previously known natural analogs - vitamins B, C, beta carotene, tocopherol - dozens of times.
What does dihydroquercetin give?
- improved immunity;
- reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease;
- normalization of cholesterol levels;
- reduction of inflammation in the walls of blood vessels;
- normalization of metabolism;
- improvement of microcirculation;
- acceleration of the restoration of damaged tissues;
- prolonging the life of healthy cells by blocking free radicals;
- improvement of the condition with allergies;
- reduction of the formation of carcinogens in the body;
- skin rejuvenation;
- improvement of the body as a whole.
That is, DHA helps to solve all those problems that are so acute for the overloaded stress and poor ecology of the inhabitants of megacities.
Until recently, it was not possible to extract dihydroquercetin from larch without losing its beneficial properties. DHA was extracted only from very expensive raw materials - citrus fruits, grape seeds, Japanese sophora, rose petals and gingko biloba stems, so the prices were appropriate. However, several years ago, Russian scientists developed a high-tech method for extracting dihydroquercetin from wood. conifers, in which there is no destruction of the natural molecule. In terms of purity and biological activity, dihydroquercetin did not have and still has no analogues.
