Pistacia lentiscus is a dioecious evergreen shrub or small tree of the genus Pistacia, growing up to 4 m (13 ft) tall which is cultivated for its aromatic resin, mainly on the Greek island of Chios. A sweet liquorice-flavoured resin, called 'mastic', is obtained from incisions made into the bark of the trunk. Mastic was at one time greatly used in herbal medicine, the resin obtained from the tree being used. It is little used in modern herbalism though it could be employed as an expectorant for bronchial troubles and coughs and as a treatment for diarrhoea. Seeds are viable and sustainable for planting.
