Japanese White Pine

• Japanese White Pine has been traditionally used in East Asian medicine to support immune health, often prepared as a decoction. Its use is based on the belief that it can help maintain overall well-being during seasonal changes.

  The mechanism by which Japanese White Pine supports immune function is not fully characterised but may involve bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and terpenes, which have been studied in other pine species for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
