The tincture of Cistus significantly reduces oxidative damage to tissues, strengthening the body and preventing cancer. Additionally, it reduces the oxidation of blood lipids, increasing the levels of good cholesterol while lowering the levels of bad cholesterol, thus making the onset of heart disease less likely. Moreover, Cistus tincture is more potent than vitamins E and C.

The history of the Cistus, also known as the ladan tree, seems to begin during the period of Arab rule, when the plant began to be exploited in Crete. Herodotus and Dioscorides describe in their writings that the collection of the resin from the ladan tree was not done directly from the plant, but from the beards of goats that ate the leaves of the Cistus. Later, the resin was collected using a tool similar to a rake. This tool was made from leather straps, which trapped the herb between them. Additionally, Dioscorides (500 BC), a well-known physician and botanist of the time, notably mentions in his writings that the resin has therapeutic and soothing properties. He also used it to strengthen hair and treat oral diseases, such as issues with the gums.

It is also noted that the Roman physician Celsus used the Cistus as a poultice for malignant sarcomas and as an ointment for hair loss. The Persian physician Avicenna also believed that the resin was effective in softening the stomach.
