Tradition of Use
According to an ancient Chinese legend, pine needles are considered as food for the Celestial being. In the modern times, many people did not realize that the long and needle-like leaves of pine trees were traditionally consumed as food and were recorded as a Superior Herb in the Shen Nong Herbal Classic, the earliest Chinese Medical Pharmacopeia written about 2,500 years ago.
In Bencao Gangmu, the Compendium of Materia Medica, pine needles were documented as having a mildly bitter taste, non-toxic and promote hair growth.
Pine is also recorded as able to regulate the five viscera organs of the human body, namely the liver, lungs, heart, spleen and kidneys and was a traditionally used herb for longevity.
In Chinese traditional medicinal text, pine needles are highly regarded as a superior herb that has beneficial properties for the maintenance of the human health.
Pinus Morrisonicola is rich in polyphenolic compounds and bioflavonoids with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-tumour properties. Pinus Morrisonicola also contains Proanthocyanidins, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), protein, iron, enzymes and essential oils that is useful for the human body. The Proanthocyanidins in Pinus Morrisonicola has strong free radical scavenging ability and is reputed to be one of the most powerful antioxidants that have beneficial effects towards cardiovascular and dermatological health.
