According to the recommendations of doctors, “Joint resin” effectively suppresses inflammatory processes in joints and cartilage tissues. When rubbed externally, oil or ointment based on pine tree resin relaxes muscles and accelerates blood flow due to a warming effect. Before use, you should study the composition to prevent an allergic reaction.
“Joint resin” is a drug of natural origin used in the therapy of cartilage tissue.
Cedar resin. Use of cedar oleoresin for treatment.
In ancient times in Rus', people fumigated huts with burning resin, using pine resin as a disinfectant to eliminate unpleasant odors. They mixed cedar oleoresin with beeswax and set it on fire, smoke was used to treat night blindness and old coughs, the resin relieved purulent wounds, cedar oleoresin showed good results as a pain reliever, and it was used to treat tumors. Cedar resin was also used as an antiparasitic agent, getting rid of lamblia, round, and tape parasites. In ancient Greece, oleoresin was used to treat diseases of the lungs, kidneys, rheumatism, digestive problems, and skin diseases. During the Great Patriotic War, more than one life was saved with the help of cedar resin. With a shortage of medicines, military surgeons used oleoresin in the treatment of both old purulent and fresh wounds, to treat deep wounds, in order to avoid severe complications and the development of gangrene.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF TERPENS
Terpenes are a subclass of unsaturated hydrocarbons with the general formula (C5H8)n, where n>2. The hydrocarbon with the empirical formula C5H8, bearing the official “structural” name 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene, is known as isoprene. Essentially, terpenes are polymers of isoprene with a low degree of polymerization. With an increase in the number of isoprene residues in the molecule (degree of polymerization), the properties of the compound change radically.
However, in living nature, it is not isoprene polymers that are most often found, but their oxygen-substituted derivatives, which are currently called “terpenoids”.
The concept of “oxygen-substituted derivative” from the point of view of organic chemistry is extremely vague. Such a derivative can be an alcohol, both simple and polyhydric, a ketone, an aldehyde, an ether, and an ester. This results in a huge (more than 10,000 known representatives) group of chemical compounds, extremely diverse in their physical, chemical, and pharmacological properties, which are united by two characteristics:
- composition exclusively of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms;
- the presence in the structure of isoprene fragments connected to each other according to the “head to tail” type.
The number of these isoprene fragments largely determines the properties of the molecule.
Two molecules of isoprene make up monoterpenes (monoterpenoids). They are widely distributed in the plant world as a component of essential oils. It is monoterpenes and esters that determine the smell of plants. Classic representatives of monoterpenes are cineole, the main component of eucalyptus oil, and menthol, the main component of peppermint oil. Also classified as monoterpenes is camphor (camphene), a bicyclic ketone containing two isoprene monomers. Monoterpene hydrocarbons (α-pinene, β-pinene, terpinolene, β-terpinene) are very characteristic of phylogenetically more ancient coniferous plants, while oxygen-containing monoterpene aldehydes, ketones and alcohols (citral, linalool, terpineol) are more characteristic of flowering plants , geraniol). The specific smell of coniferous forests is associated with the formation and evaporation of monoterpene hydrocarbons.
The combination of three isoprene molecules is called sesquiterpenes (sesquiterpenoids) - “one and a half” terpenes. They are also found in essential oils. However, the three-membered isomer has a heavier molecule, and, therefore, a priori, is less volatile and gives a less pronounced but more persistent odor. Sequiterpenes are farnesol, which is part of the essential oils of lily of the valley and linden, as well as farnesene isolated from pine resin.
Four-membered isoprene polymers (diterpenes, diperpenoids) are even less volatile; they are part of plant resins. In addition, the diterpene vitol is part of chlorophyll.
Six-membered isoprene polymers (triterpenes) contain 30 carbon atoms. Due to their almost complete lack of volatility, they are not found in essential oils. Triterpenoids are polycyclic acids or alcohols. However, the best known products are their glycosidation products, which already belong to the class of glycosides or saponins. Of the triterpene acids, the most common are ursolic, oleanolic, and crateic acids. Ursolic acid is found in relatively large quantities in the fruits and leaves of cranberries, sea buckthorn, lingonberries, and apple skins. Crateic acid has been identified in hawthorn fruits.
Eight-membered polymers (tetraterpenes, tetraterpenoids) include one single structural group - carotenoids. These are natural pigments of yellow, orange, red colors, synthesized by higher plants, which determines the appropriate coloring of their flowers and fruits.
Higher molecular weight isoprene compounds, called polyterpenes and polyterpenoids, are known as gutta-percha and natural rubber.
APPLICATION OF TERPENS IN MEDICINE
All monoterpenes, to one degree or another, have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects. Some representatives may have a sedative, analeptic, expectorant, and diuretic effect. This leads to their use in clinical practice for a wide variety of indications.
Well-known and long-used preparations based on terpenes include: validol (active ingredient - menthol), camphor (active ingredient - camphene), turpentine (a mixture of terpene hydrocarbons in which α- and β-pinenes predominate).
In addition, terpenoids and their derivatives are: retinol (vitamin A), cholecalciferol and alfacalcidol (vitamin D and its active metabolites), tocopherol (vitamin E).
Due to the wide variety of pharmacological effects combined with low toxicity, the interest of researchers in terpenes and their derivatives continues to this day. Moreover, the most exotic areas of pharmacological application of these chemical compounds are sometimes considered. Let's look at the most interesting results of recent research.
There are publications on the potentiation of the antimicrobial effect when combined with antibacterial agents and terpene-based drugs. In particular, this effect is shown in relation to anti-tuberculosis therapy and the treatment of leishmaniasis [1,2].
Saito A. et al. in an experiment on mice showed the antimalarial activity of the sequiterpene nerolidol [3].
A. Kudryavtseva et al. note that a large number of terpenes and terpenoids “have potential geroprotective and anticancer properties.” The authors studied the properties of fir extract and identified these effects in vitro on normal and tumor cell lines [4]. The potential antitumor activity of terpenoids and flavonoids is also indicated in their review by JN Nwodo et al. [5].
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of terpenes is widely used. In one of the early studies presented by Y. Han, terpenes isolated from ginkgobiloba, in an experiment on mice, were found to have anti-inflammatory activity comparable to indomethacin. Acute arthritis provoked by C. albicans antigens was chosen as a model [6].
Recently, most researchers have been inclined to use terpenes as an additional component of anti-inflammatory therapy, which makes it possible to reduce the dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and, therefore, increase the safety of therapy. The creation of transdermal systems based on terpenes and anti-inflammatory agents is considered promising.
In 2006, an original study was published on the resorptive effect of terpenes when applied topically [7]. In general, terpenes penetrate very poorly through intact skin, especially α-pinene. However, when exposed to a weak electric current, the situation changes. According to publications by B. Nokhodchi et al., C. Arunkumar et al. terpenes, in particular geraniol, menthol and thymol, can enhance iontophoresis of diclofenac sodium, which can be used in the practice of physiotherapy for inflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system [8,9].
USE OF TERPENS IN UROLOGICAL PRACTICE
A whole layer of research is devoted to the use of terpene-based drugs for the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system.
In 2013, a meta-analysis was published demonstrating the striking lithokinetic effect of terpene-based drugs [10]. And it is this effect of terpenes that is considered the most popular in modern urology.
In domestic urological practice, until now, the only drug based on terpenes was known, for which two randomized placebo-controlled studies were conducted in 1992 and 2010. A high lithokinetic effect of this drug against ureteral stones was demonstrated - 78% and 67.9%, which significantly exceeds the probability of spontaneous passage of similar stones in the control groups - 52% and 50% in groups receiving placebo [11,12]. The above studies differed in that one of them administered terpenes to patients undergoing external shock wave lithotripsy for a kidney stone.
The likelihood of a stone passing on its own is inversely related to its size. According to the results of a prospective study conducted by G. Faragi et al., in the presence of a small stone (no more than 3.3 mm) in the lower third of the ureter, the effectiveness of lithokinetic therapy using terpene-based drugs reaches 96% [13].
According to the Research Institute of Urology, the probability of spontaneous passage of a ureteral stone, regardless of its location, while taking terpenes is 73%. When a calculus is localized in the lower third of the ureter, the probability of its spontaneous passage against the background of complex therapy, including terpene-based drugs, increases to 83%. With traditional therapy, including drotaverine and a non-narcotic analgesic, 32% of ureteral stones and 51% of stones when localized in the lower third pass away on their own. The use of terpene-based drugs is especially advisable after extracorporeal lithotripsy. When localized in the lower third of the ureter, against the background of complex therapy, 80% of the stone paths recede independently [14].
During the above study, against the background of a three-week course of lithokinetic therapy, diuresis increased significantly and, accordingly, the relative density of urine decreased (from 1015.9 ± 3.0 to 1012 ± 6.9), however, the urine reaction and renal excretion of salts did not undergo significant changes. changes [14]. This property is an important feature that distinguishes the diuretic effect of terpenes from other diuretics, both herbal and synthetic.
The ability to maintain low urine density for a long time without the risk of developing electrolyte disturbances and disorders of phosphorus-calcium metabolism allows us to consider terpene-based drugs as a means for metaphylaxis of all forms of nephrolithiasis.
The lithokinetic effect of terpenes is realized quite quickly. In 72.3% of patients who underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of a kidney stone, complete clearance of the urinary tract from fragments of destroyed stones occurred within the first 5 days of the postoperative period. And after 14 days of therapy, complete passage of stone fragments was observed in 84.6% of patients. In the control group, the process of spontaneous removal of fragments of destroyed stone turned out to be longer. During the first 5 days, only 40.8% of patients got rid of fragments of destroyed stone, and within 14 days - 51.0% of patients [15].
Along with the lithokinetic effect, terpene-based drugs demonstrated a nephroprotective effect in diabetic nephropathy [16], as well as a pronounced analgesic effect in pelvic pain syndrome, comparable to the average therapeutic dose of indomethacin [17].
RENOTINEX®: COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES
Currently, a new product based on terpenes has appeared on the domestic pharmacological market - Renotinex®,. The drug contains six types of terpenes: pinene, camphene, borneol, anethole, fenchone, cineole. All these active ingredients are in a strictly defined quantitative ratio, which is generally not typical for classical phytotherapeutic agents. The certainty and stability of the chemical composition makes it possible to combine the positive qualities inherent in synthetic drugs, in particular, the predictability and controllability of the effect, with the positive properties of herbal medicines, such as the versatility of the effect and a favorable safety profile. Renotinex® additionally contains alpha-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E).
The main mechanisms of action of vitamin E are cell membrane stabilization and antioxidant effects. These effects determine its nephroprotective effect in dysmetabolic nephropathies and urolithiasis. In addition, tocopherol showed a moderate but clinically significant hypocalcemic effect, which is required for calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate nephrolithiasis.
According to modern concepts, complex therapy for oxalate nephrolithiasis, along with surgical methods for removing or destroying stones, includes a hypooxalate diet, drinking plenty of fluids, sometimes in combination with herbal diuretics, as well as the use of membrane stabilizers and antioxidants.
CONCLUSIONS
Thus, the new domestic product Renotinex® can be recommended for ureteral stones of any location and any chemical composition, if their size allows hope for spontaneous passage, as well as after lithotripsy to facilitate the passage of fragments of destroyed stones. The metabolic effects of Renotinex® allow us to recommend it for long-term metaphylaxis of phosphate, urate and, especially, calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
Key words: herbal remedies, terpenes, chemical structure, anti-inflammatory effect, antispasmodic effect, urolithiasis, Renotinex®.

Use of oleoresin in traditional medicine
Today, cedar oleoresin is widely used by folk healers; oleoresin is also widely used in traditional medical institutions. Medicines made on the basis of resin are used in traditional medicine to treat diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary diseases. Preparations from oleoresin are used for fractures, for rapid fusion of bone tissue, and in the treatment of rheumatism. Preparations used for gastritis and ulcers, for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, and mucosal lesions are made from cedar oleoresin. Many hygiene products, elixirs, and toothpastes are made with the addition of cedar resin.
Cedar resin. Medicinal properties and uses
Sap
is the tree resin of the cedar tree that comes out of the plant naturally.
It has a pleasant smell and bright cedar taste, and also has a lot of useful properties. It is actively used in folk and traditional medicine.
Cedar resin does not dry out or crystallize, and therefore can be stored for a very long time.
Resin is used not only in folk medicine. Doctors sometimes include it in the treatment plan, as it contributes to a faster recovery of the patient.
In medicine, it is used to treat the gastrointestinal tract, purulent wounds, for the pathology of cardiovascular diseases, the nervous system, eye diseases, burns, fractures, boils, etc. Also, oleoresin is effective in oncology.
Composition of resin
Resin is a very useful substance for a person with broad capabilities, but it is important to know how to take sap so as not to harm yourself.
The composition of resin contains many substances, so it is better to consult a doctor before using it.
Chemical composition of resin:
- diterpenes and sesquiterpenes - about 10%;

- Place turundas soaked in resin in your ears;
- Instill a solution of resin into the eyes;
- Treat wounds with cedar resin using cotton-gauze swabs or napkins;
- Apply compresses to joints;
- Wiping the skin with a napkin moistened with resin for the treatment of dermatological diseases (the procedure can be carried out up to 5 times a day).
Application of resin. Recipes
There are two schemes for using oleoresin internally.
The first regimen is on an empty stomach in the morning for 30 minutes. before meals, starting with 5 drops. If there are no side effects, the dosage can be increased to 1 tablespoon.
The second scheme is to take 1 teaspoon of oleoresin orally in the morning and evening for 1 month. The consumption of oleoresin is not associated with meals.
Recipes for various diseases:
- For ARVI, it is recommended to instill a oleoresin solution into the nose, which includes propolis or cedar oil. Repeat up to 4 times a day.
- For catarrhal and purulent otitis, moisten cotton wool in an oil solution of oleoresin and place them in the ears overnight.
- For angina, it is recommended to treat the tonsils three times a day with tampons soaked in a solution of resin.
- For asthma, we use the balm orally, 0.5 teaspoon 2 times a day. Only on an empty stomach. Therapy can be used in combination with oleoresin inhalations.
- We treat pulmonary tuberculosis with the “7 x 7” course. The patient should drink the balm for 7 days, then not for 7 days. You should consume 9 g of the medicinal product per day (divided into three doses), washing down each dose with hot milk and carrot juice.
- For shortness of breath and to ease breathing, a gum-vodka composition is used. This product is prepared simply: vodka, oleoresin, and honey are combined in a deep container in different proportions. Take 10 g after meals.
- For pancreatitis, you need to mix 3 drops of oleoresin with 1 teaspoon of honey and linseed oil. Take until complete recovery.
- For oncology of the gastrointestinal tract, you should consume up to 10 g of oleoresin per day. It is advisable to supplement the therapy with yarrow decoction and carrot juice.
- For impotence. To prepare the product, mix 0.5 liters of vodka and 1 tsp. resin. Place the container with the mixture in a dark place for 5 days. Throughout this period, the tincture will need to be constantly shaken. Use 3 tbsp. l. while eating.
Use of oleoresin in cosmetology
Cedar resin has also found its application in cosmetology.
Resin will help:
- restore hair to its natural strength, shine and strength;
- cure pimples and acne;
- smooth out facial wrinkles;
- remove age spots;
- strengthen nails;
- moisturize and soften the skin.
To improve hair quality, it is recommended to add just a few drops of oleoresin to shampoo. Also, with the help of resin, you can improve the condition of the skin. Before each wash, you should massage your head with oleoresin based on linseed oil.
To cleanse your facial skin, you need to regularly use a gum mask. To prepare it, you need to mix 1:1 - honey, resin and chopped pine nuts. Apply the mixture to the face for 10 minutes.
How to use resin
In its pure form, cedar resin is not often used; more often it undergoes some processing. Ointments, balms, oils, and creams are made from resin. The most popular for oral administration are balms and oils. They are absolutely safe and bring invaluable benefits in the treatment of various types of diseases. The only obstacle to using oleoresin may be intolerance. How to find out if your body is susceptible to an allergy to oleoresin: apply a little cedar oleoresin balm on your wrist, maybe in the area of the elbow joint, after 10-20 hours check for redness, burning or other unpleasant sensations. Everything is fine? - use it for your health!

Preparing cedar resin at home
Cedar balsam is prepared in a water bath. Fresh vegetable oil is used as a basis. The cedar oleoresin must first be crushed; it is desirable that the maximum size of the oleoresin pieces be no more than 5 mm. Place glass or enamel dishes with vegetable oil in a container used as a water bath. The melting point of resin is 50 degrees, the fire under the water bath should be minimal. There is no need to wait until the oil warms up. In small portions, about one spoon at a time, pour pieces of cedar resin into the oil, stir continuously with a wooden spoon. Add the next portion of resin only after the previous portion has been dissolved in the oil. The balm is prepared until the resin is completely dissolved. Then filter and pour into containers.
The balm concentration can be 50, 20 or 10%. 50% - 1 part oleoresin 1 part oil 20% - 1 part oleoresin 4 parts oil 10% - 1 part oleoresin 9 parts oil
At home, they prefer to make 50% cedar oleoresin balm, and if necessary, before use, dilute it with vegetable oil in the required concentration.
The use of cedar oleoresin for bedsores and purulent wounds. ulcers. burns.
Fresh unsalted butter - 100 gr. Fresh cedar resin (not balm) -200 gr. Beeswax - 100 gr. Place the mixture in a steam bath for two hours, stirring with a wooden spoon, strain the finished mixture, and pour into a glass jar. Cool to room temperature before use. Rub or lubricate affected areas. Pre-clean the bedsores, hydrogen peroxide works well for this, dry them, and apply ointment as a compress for a day. After a day, clean the sore spot; if necessary, the procedure can be repeated. The ointment heals bedsores quickly enough; after fresh skin appears, it must be lubricated with baby cream.
The use of pine oleoresin for diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
The use of cedar oleoresin for polyarthritis.
Rub 20% balm into affected areas of the body. Take pine baths: you need to dilute one tablespoon of 50% cedar resin balsam in 200 liters of water. It is recommended to take five to ten drops orally.
Use of cedar oleoresin for radiculitis and osteochondrosis.
To prevent the disease, twice a year, in spring and autumn, visit a massage room and do a massage with 5% oleoresin balm (12-15 sessions each). Weekly rubbing of cedar resin balm, after a steam room with a cedar or fir broom.
Dear readers, of course, it is impossible to tell about all the wonderful properties of cedar resin in one article. But I tried to tell you what I know about this amazing, wonderful and useful product. Don't forget about the gifts nature gives us. Use cedar resin both in the treatment and prevention of diseases.
