Pinus Montana – Pine

Ecology and phytosociology

The pine’s main feature is its ability to form raw humus and regenerate degraded soil (this is especially true of the Pinus Sylvestris). It has low requirements in terms of the nutrient content of the soil and is unaffected by its mineral content, making it an easy-growing species. However, by shedding its acidic pine needles, it causes other species to become sterile.

Indications for use

• Regenerative action on hard tissues (bones and cartilage): osteoarthritis, osteoporosis
• Fractures in the elderly

Complementary treatments

Its properties are enhanced when combined with the following plants.

• Rosa Canina: Post-menopausal osteoporosis
• Rubus Fructicosus: Senile osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in general (combine with Sequoia in cases of adrenal insufficiency).
• Rosa Canina and Rubus Fructicosus: Localized osteoarthritis, coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis, spondylarthrosis
