Styrax officinalis
A Mediterranean storax tree historically used for incense and medicine; resin used for skin and respiratory conditions.
Styrax officinalis is a Mediterranean tree whose storax resin has been used traditionally for respiratory and skin conditions, as well as in incense. Modern research suggests antiseptic and expectorant properties, attributed to active compounds such as cinnamic acid, ethyl cinnamate, and terpenes. Evidence is limited to pilot studies and traditional use, with topical application being the primary route.
Storax resin exhibits antimicrobial activity through disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of biofilm formation, likely mediated by cinnamic acid and terpenes. Expectorant effects may involve reflex stimulation of bronchial secretions via gastric mucosal irritation or direct action on respiratory epithelium. Topical application promotes wound healing via anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, with cinnamic acid derivatives showing COX inhibition in vitro.
