Triantafyllidi A, et al. (2015). Herbal and plant therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Research from 2017 suggests that mastic essential oil may also help suppress tumors that can lead to colon cancer. Researchers found that mastic oil inhibited the increase of colon cells in vitro. When given orally to mice, it inhibited the growth of colon carcinoma tumors. Further study is needed to expand upon these findings. Mastiha is a natural, aromatic resin obtained from the trunk and brunches of the mastic tree ( Pistacia lentiscus L. var latifolius Coss or Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia). It is also known as Chios mastic gum, being exclusively produced on the southern part of Chios, a Greek island situated in the northern Aegean Sea. Although Pistacia species are widespread across the Mediterranean basin and the surrounding regions, mastiha is produced only by the mastic trees grown on the island of Chios, where 24 villages (Mastichochoria in Greek) maintain the region’s cultural heritage and participate in the resin’s production. The life cycle of most trees is about 100 years, and the yearly production ranges from 60 to 250 g per tree. After the induction of small cuts on the tree’s bark and branches, the resin is produced and collected in “tears” or droplets, which are initially translucent white or pale-yellow, acquiring a more yellowish and opaque color as they age [ 1].Effects of Three Mastic Gums on the Number of Mutans Streptococci, Lactobacilli and PH of the Saliva — Journal of Dentistry of Tehran University of Medical Sciences The collection process begins in mid-August and ends in mid-September. The product is then sieved, washed and carefully cleaned, piece by piece and then marketed. The exploitation of the mastic tree remains the main source of income for the inhabitants of the region.
