Pistachier térébinthe

Pistacia terebinthus · Cyprus Turpentine

Pistacia terebinthus, commonly known as mastic tree, is a traditional plant native to the Mediterranean region. It has not been extensively documented in traditional medicine for specific uses; however, its fruits and seeds have shown promise in various scientific studies. Extracts from the fruit demonstrated dose-dependent protection against experimental ulcerative colitis by modulating inflammatory and oxidative parameters, indicating potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, terebinth seed milk supported the growth and survival of certain probiotic strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, with some showing enhanced stress resistance. Incorporating terebinth extract into fermented sausages did not significantly affect biogenic amine accumulation, suggesting potential compatibility in food applications. Scientific evidence also suggests that phenolic compounds from Pistacia vera, P. terebinthus, and P. khinjuk show potential anticancer activity against various types of cancer cells; however, further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
