Around 109 compounds were detected, and 101 of those were identified. The predominant ones in the Vinevida Dwarf Pine essential oil are: Alpha Pinene (30.41%):  A lovely, refreshing scent, alpha-pinene has powerful antimicrobial effects, as well as being well-researched for its possibilities for helping people with osteoarthritis. Limonene (22.27%): A powerful  antimicrobial, limonene is also uplifting and invigorating. Delta-3-Carene (14.14%):  A natural phytocide (kills pathogens). Delta-3-Carene is also very clever at helping you to sleep. Its hypnotic qualities are described later in the article. Beta Pinene (9.64%):  Similar to alpha-pinene. About the Dwarf Pine Tree The Dwarf pine is native to the Carpathian Mountains, well-adapted to harsh conditions, and happy to live in poor soils; it thrives on dunes and mountains alike. Its main habitat is to establish itself in fissured rock. Most often, the shrub grows up to 5m. It has an extensive root system that snakes through loose soil. Its dwarf stem also means its branches lie close to the ground. Therefore, it protects the ecology of the mountain, slowing torrents of water rushing down and preventing avalanche erosion. The needles are bursting with vitamin C and carotene. Locally, these are used to make tea to fortify the immune system against coughs and colds, and to cure scurvy. However, vitamins and carotene do not pass through distillation into the essential oil. Main Actions of the Essential Oil Expectorant As inhalation for respiratory support ( Pieroni, 2014 ) Aches and Pains, especially for osteoarthritis Invigorating and stimulating Pine is also a classic smell of “clean” One of the most important skills of dwarf pine essential oil is its actions on pain. This is because pinene constituents are proven to change pain signaling. Pinene displays weak anti-nociceptive skills, meaning it can turn the volume down on pain. This is executed through the mu-opioid receptor. This was appraised in a rodent tail flick test. In these tests, the wee beastie is held still while its tail is put against a heat source.  The time it takes before it tries to move its tail from the heat is then recorded. ( Otto, 2011 ) Alpha pinene was shown to significantly increase how long the creature stayed still before the pain got through. Studies reveal that the analgesic effects of alpha-pinene are not as strong as those of morphine, but the an
