The Pinus sylvestris is a coniferous tree that is a part of the Pinaceae family. It can grow up to 35 meters in height, with its cones turning red at pollination. It is indigenous to Eurasia, but is now grown all over the world and thrives with full sun and soil that drains well.

Pine was first researched by Hippocrates, also known as the "Father of Modern Medicine". Furthermore, it is rumored that mattresses were stuffed with the needles of the pine tree to keep lice and fleas at bay. Ancient Egyptians allegedly used pine kernels in their cooking to kill food bacteria and decrease contamination.
