Introduction
Pine pollen generally has no significant benefits for pulmonary nodules, but moderate consumption is usually harmless. Pine pollen has effects such as astringent hemostasis and drying dampness to promote wound healing, and is primarily used to improve or treat conditions like skin erosion, traumatic injuries, bleeding, and eczema. For patients with pulmonary nodules, taking pine pollen under medical guidance typically does not have a noticeable effect on suppressing or reducing the lesion.
Pine pollen generally does not provide benefits for pulmonary nodules, but when taken in appropriate amounts under medical guidance, it usually causes no harm.
Pine pollen is typically a dried pollen extracted from pine family plants such as Masson's pine or Chinese red pine. It has properties of astringent hemostasis and drying dampness to promote wound healing, and is mainly used to treat skin erosion, wounds, bleeding, and eczema. For patients with pulmonary nodules, taking pine pollen under a doctor's guidance generally does not significantly suppress or reduce the lesion. However, moderate consumption may help improve metabolism, supplement nutrition, and enhance disease resistance.
Patients with pulmonary nodules should usually follow their doctor’s advice and receive treatment according to the size and characteristics of the lesion; blind use of supplements or medications is not recommended.
