CYST

Cyst or Frankincense is a native shrub that thrives in barren, stony, well-drained soils, in cold or coastal areas, in many parts of the Mediterranean.

In Greece, we find it mainly in Crete but also in many mountains. In mythology, it is mentioned as the plant for whose sake the gods of Olympus quarreled with the goddesses because the gods wanted to give healing properties to Kistos while the goddesses beautifying and thus he acquired both properties. -Ability to destroy free radicals. – Very high antioxidant activity. – Prevention of premature aging of the skin. The extraordinary healing powers of Kisto have been confirmed by science.

Test results carried out by the Lefo Ahrensburg foundation showed that Kistos protects the heart four times better than red wine and is an antioxidant twenty times stronger than fresh lemon juice. The scientists of the Lefo Foundation discovered that Kistos contains an extremely effective combination of antioxidants: already a glass of concentrated tea has the same effect as a daily dose of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid). Prof. Claus Peter Siegers of the University of Lubeck proves that Cyst detoxifies the body and removes toxic heavy metals from cigarette smoke, dental fillings and environmental pollution.

Kistos has the highest content of polyphenols of any plant in Europe, with an amazing ability to destroy free radicals as well as high antioxidant activity. The stem and leaves contain a balsamic resinous aromatic substance, frankincense.
