This invention relates to an extract of pine needle and its uses in medicines, especially its use in treating hypertension and coronary heart disease. This invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the extract of pine needle and its pharmaceutical uses.
BACKGROUND
Pine needle is also named pine leaf. Its Latin name is
Folium Pini.
One important thing is that Pine needle is leaf of plants of Pinaceae and Pinus. It comes from
Pinus tabuleaformis carr, Pinus massoniana Lams, Pinus Yuananensis Franch
, etc. In China there are 20 species and 10 varieties of Pinacaea plants, 16 species and 2 varieties have been planted.
In China, there has been a view that pine needle may be used as a supplement material for some medicines for many years. For example, some of the recipes collected in the Great Dictionary of Chinese Herbs can treat injury, edema, eczema, chronic bronchitis and asomnia, or prevent influzeza, epidemic encephalitis. Pine needle is used as one of the ingredients in these recipes.

It has never been reported that pine needle or its extract in combination of other substances can be used to treat the above diseases.
After study of many years, the inventor has found that an extract of pine needle can be used to treat hypertension, angina pectoris, myocarditis, arrhythmia, cerebral infarction, hyperlipemia, diabetes, high blood viscosity, high blood aggregation, arterial sclerosis, senile dementia, and sudden deafness. The effect is satisfactory. The new reliable uses of pine needle have been found.

Another objective of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for treating diseases.
Another objective of the invention is to provide a method for treating various diseases.
Another objective of the invention relates to use of an extract of pine needle in treating diseases.
The other objectives of the invention will be showed in the description of the invention.
