P.S.  For those living where Eastern Hemlock (also
known as  Canadian Hemlock) grows, it has 5 times the
amount of Vitamin C than  lemons.  White pine has
Vitamin C, too, as well as Vitamin A.   This had me
think about how Amerindians in this region during the
winter  (I'm not an expert on food sources in this
region, but I'm making an  educated guess that during
the summer more plants would be growing for  the
potential of eating more Vitamin C) would have
supplemented their  diet with this tea to avoid what
many Europeans died of when they first  walked around
here:  scurvy.  By the way, other Vitamin  C
deficiencies include slow wound healing, and immune
system  rundowns.
