Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and folk medicine, primarily for respiratory conditions, including coughs and colds. Pine needles, resin, and bark extracts have been used in decoctions or infusions to "dispel wind," "remove dampness," and ease symptoms of feverish colds. The traditional basis is largely empirical and rooted in TCM theory, rather than scientific validation. Modern pharmacological studies on Masson Pine are limited and mainly focus on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but direct evidence supporting its efficacy in treating colds with fever is lacking. No clinical trials or robust scientific data are available to confirm its effectiveness or safety for this specific indication. Thus, its use for treating colds with fever is primarily justified by traditional usage, with only anecdotal or theoretical support from phytochemistry and no direct scientific validation.
