mention this let's call it Loblolly because that's the type of pine tree  
it comes from. 
 



A native American remedy for acne was to boil white pine and Oregon grape  
roots, then drink the tincture one whiskey shot at a time whenever you like 
go  past the refrigerator. My son and a Canadian native American did this 
when he  was a teenager and the acne was gone and never bothered him again. I 
was  wondering what was in the roots and maybe the answer is turpentine. She 
wanted  to use silver pine from Canada but all we have here is white pine, 
so it worked  also.
