Abstract
In traditional Chinese medicine, “pine yellow” and “pine flower” are the pollen of Pinaceae, commonly Pinus Massoniana Lamb or Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. The pollen of Pinus Massoniana Lamb or Pinus tabulaeformis Carr is common. Pine flower is a unique species of medicinal and edible pollen in the Chinese pharmacopoeia, and is commonly found in ancient Chinese medical and herbal texts, such as “Derivatives of the Materia Medica”, “Classical Materia Medica”, and “Compendium of the Materia Medica”. In this paper, we review the source, history of traditional medicine, and progress of research on pharmacological activity of Chinese pine pollen in order to provide reference for better research on its value.
