Pistacia Lentiscus
The mastic tree, a native of southern Europe,
northern Africa, and western Asia. Mastic is the resin of the tree
and is obtained by making transverse incisions in the bark, from
which it exudes in drops and hardens into small semitransparent
tears. It is consumed in large quantities by the Turks for chewing
to strengthen the gums and sweeten the breath. It is also used for
varnishing.
