Stuffy nose, persistent cough, general fatigue... fortunately, nature offers us simple and effective solutions to get through these periods more comfortably. Among them, pine shoots have held a special place for centuries.
Scots pine, an age-old health ally
Native to Northern Europe and Asia, the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is a majestic tree known for its many medicinal properties. Its young shoots, rich in essential oils, vitamin C, and active compounds such as α-pinene and β-pinene, have been used since ancient times to soothe respiratory ailments, relieve coughs, and boost immunity.
The ancient Egyptians and Arabs already used pine to soothe lung ailments and muscle pain, while in Europe, herbalists recommended its use in the form of syrup or infusion to "clear the chest".
