Abstract
Pinus mugo Turra is a coniferous species of shrub or small tree typical of central and south-eastern Europe. It is commonly called mugo pine, mountain pine, or dwarf mountain pine referring to its habit and small size. Indeed, this plant lives at higher altitude above 1400 m above the see level where it deals with harsh conditions typical of high mountain. From an ethnotraditional point of view, P. mugo is mainly used for respiratory disorders and wound healing. In particular, its essential oils have been shown to possess interesting antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, which can substantiate its potential therapeutic effect in pulmonary and urinary tract diseases, as well as antinflammatory and antitumor effects. This review also offers a summary on the chemical constituents of P. mugo that contribute to its therapeutic potential.
