Scurvy: prevention and treatment

Pine needle infusion: for effective prevention and treatment of scurvy, an infusion made from fresh pine needles is an excellent choice due to its high vitamin C content. To prepare this beneficial drink, take 50 grams of pine needles and pour five parts of boiling water over them in a glass or enamel container. Avoid using metal containers, as this may negatively affect the vitamins. Allow the infusion to steep for 4-6 hours, then strain thoroughly. For improved flavor, a little sugar can be added. It is recommended to take 1/2 cup 2-3 times a day.
