Pinus californiarum

• Pine species, including Pinus californiarum's close relatives, have been traditionally used in Native American medicine to support immune health. A decoction made from the needles or bark may help bolster the body’s defenses against common ailments.

  The mechanism is not fully characterised but pine trees contain compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids which exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially supporting immune function.
