Mastaki Ointment: An Effective Solution for Reducing Joint and Muscle Pain

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a doctor, especially in the form of back pain. According to statistics, 20% of outpatients suffer from these problems. In modern medicine, various factors such as excessive activity, improper use of joints and excess weight cause joint pain and osteoarthritis.

In traditional Iranian medicine, cold and dampness are known as the main factors causing pain in joints and bones. An unhealthy lifestyle and consumption of cold and damp foods can aggravate joint and muscle problems. In this regard, mastaki ointment, which is prepared from a combination of olive oil, mastic gum, and beeswax, helps improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation by creating warmth in painful areas.

Main ingredients and properties of mastaki ointment

1. Mastaki gum (Pistacia lentiscus)

Mastic gum is known in traditional medicine as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and healing agent. This compound helps heal fractures and reduce joint inflammation. Scientific research has shown that topical application of mastic can reduce joint swelling and pain.

2. Pure olive oil

Olive oil acts as a natural painkiller. It contains phenolic compounds like oleuropein and oleocanthal, which have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Also, the essential fatty acids found in olive oil like oleic acid, linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid help repair damaged tissues.

3. Beeswax

Beeswax helps soften and smooth the skin and prevents dryness and inflammation of the affected areas. The compounds in this wax have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing effects that accelerate the healing process.

Mechanism of action of mastic ointment

• Reduces inflammation and pain: The anti-inflammatory compounds in this ointment help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in joints and muscles.
• Accelerates tissue repair: This ointment is suitable for reducing muscle pain, bruises, fractures, and superficial burns.

Conclusion

Mastaki ointment, with its natural ingredients, helps reduce muscle and joint pain. The warming and anti-inflammatory effects of this ointment make it a natural alternative to chemical painkillers. This ointment can be used as an effective solution in controlling pain caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatism, sports injuries, and coldness of the body.

📌 How to use: Massage the ointment onto the painful area 2 to 3 times daily and allow it to be absorbed by the skin.
