Chapter 32
Encyclopedia of Healthcare Information Systems
Pygnogenol is the patented trade name for a water extract of the bark of the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster ssp. atlantica). Pygnogenol contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) as well as several other Bioflavanoids: catechin, epicatechin, Phenolic fruit acids, and taxifolin. Procyanidins are oligomeric catechins found in red wine, grapes, cocoa, cranberries, and apples. Pygnogenol helps the integrity of the blood vessels, skin, and mental function, as well as being a potent antioxidant.

Everybody knows what pain is but no one really knows how to switch it off especially when it becomes persistent and annoying. Have we lost sight of the real pathophysiology that underlies the phenomenon of pain? Are we concentrating on the end point rather than the cause of the malady? Drugs and physical therapies don’t have all the answers to pain management. Is there another way? Maybe we should take a broader look at why the pain started in the first place and then we can work out the solution to the health challenge!
