Mastic Gum of Chios
Mastic Gum of Chios
Mastic gum, derived from the resin of the Mediterranean mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), boasts a rich history of health benefits spanning centuries. Renowned for its positive impact on digestive health, it has traditionally been used to address stomach ulcers, decrease stomach acid, and alleviate issues such as heartburn and indigestion. With documented antibacterial and antifungal properties, particularly effective against Helicobacter pylori, mastic gum contributes to oral health by preventing cavities, treating gingivitis, and promoting fresh breath. Additionally, its potential anti-inflammatory effects, cholesterol-lowering capabilities, and preliminary indications of aiding in blood sugar control underscore its versatility in supporting overall well-being.
Benefits
- Digestive Health: Mastic gum is renowned for its positive effects on digestive health, traditionally used to treat stomach ulcers, reduce stomach acid, and alleviate issues like heartburn and indigestion.
- Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: Studies confirm mastic gum's antibacterial and antifungal qualities, particularly effective against Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria commonly linked with stomach ulcers and gastritis.
- Oral Health: With antibacterial properties, mastic gum benefits oral health by preventing dental cavities, treating gingivitis, and freshening breath.
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Mastic gum may possess anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing swelling and inflammation in the body.
- Cholesterol Management: Research suggests mastic gum's potential in aiding the lowering of bad cholesterol (LDL) levels, thereby supporting heart health.
- Blood Sugar Control: Preliminary studies indicate that mastic gum might assist in managing blood sugar levels, offering potential benefits for people with diabetes or those at risk.
Ingredient
Mastic Gum of Chios (Pistacia lentiscus)
Suggested Use
Digestive Health: It can be chewed like regular chewing gum. Start with a small piece (about the size of a pea) and chew it for at least 5 minutes or until it becomes soft and loses its flavor. This is believed to help with digestive issues, including stomach ulcers and H. pylori infections.
Oral Health: Similar to its use for digestive health, chewing mastic gum can contribute to oral hygiene by reducing dental plaque, freshening breath, and possibly fighting bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.
NOTE: If you're new to mastic gum, start with a lower dose or amount to see how your body reacts before increasing it.

Teas or Tinctures?
Teas or Tinctures?
Tinctures are best for strong medicinal activity, convenience, and long-term storage. An herbal tincture will have about 90% plant essence in it.
Herbal Teas are not as potent as tinctures, but they can be very effective for calming the nervous system, soothing the stomach, and brightening the mood. A herbal tea will have approximately 10% plant essence in it.
It’s best to combine them both.
