Chiosmastiha (mastic, mastika) is a unique resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia Lentiscus var. Chia), which grows exclusively on the Greek island of Chios. This resin is known for its unique aromatic, medicinal and cosmetic properties. Mastiha is harvested by hand in the form of small drops, which then crystallise under the influence of the sun, forming characteristic "tears". Mastiha is known for its high effectiveness against Helicobacter pylori and is used effectively for reflux, heartburn, ulcers, Crohn's disease and many other conditions. It also helps maintain proper cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood and has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal system. When chewing, you will enjoy the unique taste and aroma of mastic, which is not only pleasant but also beneficial for the health of your mouth, teeth and entire digestive system.
