Mastic oil also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and as such is widely used in the preparation of ointments for skin disorders and afflictions. It is also used in the manufacture of plasters.In recent years, university researchers have provided the scientific evidence for the medicinal properties of mastic. A 1985 study by the University of Thessaloniki and by the Meikai University discovered that mastic can reduce bacterial plaque in the mouth by 41.5%. A 1998 study by the University of Athens found that mastic oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Another 1998 University of Nottingham study, claims that mastic can heal peptic ulcers by killing Helicobacter pylori, which causes peptic ulcers, gastritis, and duodenitis. Some in vivo studies have shown that mastic gum has no effect on H. pylori when taken for short periods of time. However, a recent and more extensive study showed that mastic gum reduced H. pylori populations after an insoluble and sticky polymer (poly-β-myrcene) constituent of mastic gum was removed and taken for a longer period of time. Further analysis showed the acid fraction was the most active antibacterial extract, and the most active pure compound was isomasticadienolic acid.Mastic is a natural resin that comes from the trunk of the mastic tree.

In this way absorbed cholesterol, whose concentration in the blood decreases, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, out and diuretic properties, while important is the inhibition of leukotriene synthesis by the action of mastic. Another modern scientific research that led to the isolation and identification of ursolic and oleanolic acid, revealed and confirmed that many of the pharmaceuticals business putty, such as cancer, liver protective, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antimicrobial (against many pathogens such as Staphylococcus and Salmonella) anti-hyperlipidemia and antiviral actions, mainly explained that ursolic acid, and isomer oleanolic acid.

Among these properties, has an important role played by the general antioxidant. Antioxidant activity Protection of LDL (bad cholesterol) by oxidation which leads to a reduction of cholesterol deposited in tissues and thus a reduction in the production rate of atherosclerotic plaque, reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. In addition, polyphenols exhibit and other protective physiological effects, good for health, the most important of these are summarized as follows:
Reduce blood sugar and blood cholesterol
Protection of epithelial cells in the respiratory tract
Increase levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and lower levels of LDL (bad cholesterol)
Anti-tumor activity (in colon cancer cell apoptosis)
Antimicrobial and antibacterial activity
Antiallergic properties (inhibition of platelet aggregation)
