Synopsis

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

Pine, particularly certain species such as Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) and Pinus pinaster (maritime pine), has a history of traditional use for external bleeding. In various folk medicine systems, preparations made from pine bark, resin, or needles have been applied topically to wounds to assist in stopping bleeding and promoting healing. The astringent and mildly antiseptic properties of pine resin and bark are cited in ethnobotanical literature as contributing to these effects. Some Native American and European herbal traditions utilized pine pitch or sap directly on cuts and abrasions as a styptic agent.

However, while these traditional practices are well-documented, there is only limited scientific evaluation of pine’s hemostatic properties. Laboratory studies on pine bark extracts have mostly focused on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, rather than direct effects on blood coagulation or wound closure. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or modern pharmacological studies specifically investigating pine’s efficacy in controlling external bleeding. Thus, the evidence supporting its use is primarily traditional and anecdotal, rather than scientifically validated.

In summary, pine's use for external bleeding is supported by historical and ethnobotanical records, but not by current scientific research. Its rating reflects the presence of traditional use but limited modern evidence.
