Words by Anny Schneider

This organic essential oil of pistachio lentisque (also named: "Putty tree") from Morocco, is distilled from the leaves of this Mediterranean shrub. 

Vascular and venous decongestant, in local application diluted in a vegetable oil, it treats haemorrhoids and varicose veins.

Always diluted in an appropriate oil, it also relieves leg swelling as well as swelling and inflammation of the prostate.

The beautiful women in the harems of the Levant of old time used it as a deodorant and chewed the gum to keep a good breath.

In inhalation or diffusion, and combined with other bronchodilators, it cleans the air and acts as expectorant and decongesting sinuses.

The Mediterranean goat farmers know that their animals love Lentisque Pistachio and that the plant perfumes deliciously milk and cheese.

Origin of this essential oil

This organic essential oil of pistachio lentiscus from Morocco is distilled from the leaves of the plant.

Arbrisseau rameux et tordu, à écorce brune ou rougeâtre qui fait partie de la végétation habituelle du maquis. 

D'une hauteur de un mètre, il se développe sur des sols légers et sablonneux proches des plages de Méditerranée. 

Ses feuilles sont obtuses et glabres. 

Ses fleurs sont rougeâtres et donnent une drupe sèche à noyau, fruit rouge, puis noir.

Le mastic est une matière résineuse à l'odeur prononcée issue de la sève du lentisque.

Dans l'Antiquité, cette résine naturelle faisait office de gomme à macher. 

En Iran, elle est encore aujourd'hui utilisée comme masticatoire, mais aussi employée en pâtisserie, en confiserie, en cosmétique, pour les encens, dans le domaine des beaux-arts et pour la fabrication de liqueurs.

La variété chia, de l'île de Chios en Grèce, est réputée depuis l'Antiquité.
