چکیده مقاله :
پسته وحشی یکی از محصولات کشاورزی خودرو در ایران است که فواید بسیاری در صنایع دارویی، بهداشتی، پزشکی و خوراکی دارد. سه گونه پسته وحشی شامل بنه (Pistacia atlantica Desf.)، مصطکی (Pistacia lentiscus L.) و خینجوک یا کلخونگ (Pistacia khinjuk Stoks) در ایران وجود دارند که سرشار از مواد مغذی و پر انرژی بوده و خواص آنها در برخی موارد از پسته خوراکی آجیل بیشتر است. از درخت پسته وحشی یا بنه صمغی ترشح میشود که به سقز معروف است و دارای خواص درمانی بسیاری است و میوه، روغن و صمغ آن در حوزه طب سنتی از دیرباز مورد استفاده بوده است. این مطالعهی مروری با بررسی منابع معتبر داخلی و خارجی به بررسی اثرات درمانی سه گونه پسته وحشی موجود در ایران میپردازد. به این منظور با استفاده از پایگاه مرکز اطلاعات علمی جهاد دانشگاهی (SID)، Scopus، ScienceDirect و PubMed با تاکید بر جدیدترین و مرتبطترین منابع، تعداد 82 مقاله انتخاب و بررسی شدند. نتایج بیانگر اثرات آنتیاکسیدانی، ضدالتهابی، ضدمیکروبی، ضدانگلی و درمانی فراوانی پسته وحشی هستند که مهمترین آنها عبارتند از: بهبود اضطراب و افسردگی، کمک به درمان دیابت، سرطان، آسیبهای قلبی، کبدی، کلیوی، استئوآرتریت، بهبود پارامترهای خونی (قند و چریی)، بیوشیمیایی (آنزیمهای کبدی)، هورمونهای تیروئیدی، پاسخ ایمنی و ترمیم مو، ناخن و انواع زخمها میباشد. مصطکی یک صمغ طبیعی و از بهترین داروهای طبیعی برای تقویت دستگاه گوارش است. این صمغ به درمان زخم معده، سوءهاضمه، رفلاکس، تنظیم حرکات روده، رفع یبوست و پاکسازی کبد و کلیهها کمک میکند. میوه کلخونگ بهعنوان خوشبوکننده دهان، برای دنداندرد، زخم معده، کاهش کلسترول و پیشگیری از بیماریهای قلبی عروقی کاربرد دارد.
چکیده انگلیسی:
Wild pistachios are one of the major agricultural products in Iran that have many benefits in the pharmaceutical, health, medical and food industries. Three species of wild pistachios, including Pistacia atlantica Desf., Pistacia lentiscus L. and Pistacia khinjuk Stoks, are found in Iran, which are rich in nutrients and high in energy, and their properties are in some cases greater than those of edible pistachios. It is secreted from the wild pistachio tree or gum tree, which is known as turpentine and has many therapeutic properties, and its fruit, oil, and gum have been used in traditional medicine for a long time. This review study examines the therapeutic effects of three species wild pistachio found in Iran by examining reliable domestic and foreign sources. For this purpose, 82 articles were selected and reviewed using the Scientific Information Database (SID), Scopus, ScienceDirect and PubMed databases, with an emphasis on the most recent and relevant sources. The results indicate that wild pistachios have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiparasitic and therapeutic effects, the most important of which are: improving anxiety and depression, helping to treat diabetes, cancer, heart, liver, kidney damage, osteoarthritis, improving blood parameters (sugar and cholesterol), biochemical (liver enzymes), thyroid hormones, immune response and repairing hair, nails and all types of wounds. Pistacia lentiscus is a natural gum and one of the best natural medicines for strengthening the digestive system. This gum helps treat stomach ulcers, indigestion, reflux, regulate bowel movements, relieve constipation and cleanse the liver and kidneys. The fruit of the Pistacia khinjuk is used as a mouth freshener, for toothache, stomach ulcers, reducing cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
