Pure and Raw Mastic from Chios

Why Mastic Resin is So Expensive

Know the Difference.

Mastic is natural. Chewing gum is synthetic.

Modern chewing gum is made of plastic and rubber. Typically named "gum base", the chewing of plastic and synthetic material disrupts hormone levels and impacts fertility. The impact of these plastics affect men, but women also, especially during pregnancy. Men who suffer from irregular hormone levels may develop gynecomastia, or breast tissue. Fetuses exposed to plastics during pregnancy are more likely to suffer birth defects.

Raw mastic does not suffer from these additives.

  • A natural medicine.

    With a long history of use for its medicinal properties. The earliest references to mastic can be found in the works of Herodotus (484-425 B.C.) and Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.) These ancient sources highlight the benefits of mastic for gut health, treating colds and easing digestive issues, and freshening breath. It is most effective when consumed raw and unprocessed, without any added binders, plastics or synthetic fillers.

  • Small size, mighty strength.

    Mastic gum is a small tear shaped sap that has resounding durability. Unlike modern gum, mastic packs a mighty punch once bitten down. It is best to be conservative when chewing mastic for the first time. Add 1-3 pieces and scale up. If desired, pieces are reusable so long as kept clean. Mastic hardness depreciates only minimally. Because of mastic strength, make sure to only chew upwards of 15 minutes a day. Chew responsibly.
