Who enjoys the smell of Pine? Crisp, sweet, clean. One day I had Pine sap stuck to my jeans. It was so deliciously aromatic but tough to remove from my hair and clothes. Yep, I was hiking around in nature and didn’t realize the good medicine I magnetized unintentionally in my hair and jeans! The bark, needles, sap, all have their medicinal uses.

In northern New Mexico, Pinyon Pine / Pinon with the enye, squiggly line above the first n, is the medicine in Enserado/ Encerado salve. It looks like a gift from the honey bees. That’s because it has bees wax which is what encerado means, wax, or polished/ coated. Encerado salve’s ingredients are Pinyon pitch, osha/ ocha, olive, oil.
Jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil are interchangeable. You can make this as a salve or an oil minus the bees wax.
