Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

White Pine (Pinus strobus) has a history of traditional use among Indigenous peoples and early settlers in North America. The inner bark and needles were often used in teas or infusions to help relieve symptoms of colds, coughs, and other respiratory issues, which can include sinus congestion. The aromatic nature of pine, as well as its content of volatile oils, was believed to help clear airways and support respiratory health. However, there is limited modern scientific validation for these uses, especially specifically for sinus support. Most available studies on pine focus on its antioxidant content and general anti-inflammatory properties, but do not directly address sinus health or sinusitis. The traditional use persists in some herbal medicine circles, but it is not widely endorsed by contemporary clinical guidelines. Overall, the evidence for White Pine’s effectiveness for supporting the sinuses is based primarily on tradition, with a moderate historical record but minimal direct scientific investigation or validation.
