Chios mastictree
Pistacia lentiscus
Pistacia lentiscus, commonly known as mastic tree, is a traditional plant native to Mediterranean regions. While its use in specific traditional medicine practices has not been extensively documented, studies have shown promising results for its potential health benefits. A hydro-methanol extract from the leaves demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity both in vivo and in vitro, comparable to indomethacin. Additionally, an aqueous extract from leaf residues exhibited strong antioxidant properties with notable effects on inhibiting enzymes involved in skin aging. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these findings comprehensively. No major safety concerns or reported drug interactions have been recorded for Pistacia lentiscus, indicating that it may be generally safe for use.
