## Overview

Chios Mastiha Tears Gum is a 100% natural resin harvested exclusively from the mastic trees of Chios Island, Greece. Hand-cleaned and preserved under cool conditions, it offers a unique aromatic chewing experience with proven antibacterial and oral health benefits. Beyond chewing, it can be ground into powder for culinary and skincare uses, blending ancient tradition with modern wellness.

## Description

«Chios Mastiha: A tear that pleases, perfumes, relieves, heals!» Chios Mastiha is the name of a resinous sap produced from the mastic tree (Pistacia Lentiscus var. Chia). It is a natural, aromatic resin in teardrop shape, falling on the ground in drops from superficial scratches induced by cultivators on the tree's trunk and main branches with sharp tools. As it drips, this sap appears as a sticky and translucent liquid which, 15-20 days later, is solidified into irregular shapes influenced by the area's weather conditions in summertime, that is intense drought and sunlight. After being solidified, it has a crystal form, while its rather bitter taste quickly subsides to leave a distinctive aroma that really makes it unique. That solid product is then harvested and washed by mastic growers, giving us finally the natural Chios mastiha. Its colour is initially ivory-like but as time goes by, that shade is lost and 12 to 18 months later it changes into yellowish due to oxidation. It is made of hundreds of components, among which only 80 are contained in identifiable quantities. Such multitude probably justifies the multiple uses of Chios mastiha, in the fields of food industry, health and cosmetic care, worldwide. Chios Mastiha is a unique product with many beneficial qualities and wide-ranging uses since antiquity. Nowadays, it is used in pharmaceuticals, perfumes, cosmetics, beverages, bakery goods, sweets as well as in cooking. Chios Mastiha is the natural resin of Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia, a tree which grows only on the Aegean island of Chios, Greece. Scientific research shows that Chios Mastiha has beneficial effects on both body hygiene and skin care. You can use mastic as ordinary chewing gum, or you can grind it into powder.

Review: Awesome Alternative Chewing Gum - I bought this as a healthy alternative to chewing gum, and I will be buying more soon. If you're used to strong artificial chewing gum flavors, you will find this is very different. It tastes like ( because it is ) tree resin. The product arrived fresh, and in good condition, although it took a long time, all the way from Greece. It's a harder chew than standard soft chewing gums. I am an aggressive chewer; being hyper active, I enjoy chewing to help me think, so I like the added "resistance" of the texture of this gum. Some of the pieces are so fresh that they stick to my dental work, but after some chewing they settle down and don't stick any more. I did purchase another brand of much smaller pieces of Chios, and mixed a little with my Spry Xylitol gum, which worked out well. I love this so much that I don't mix it with the Xylitol gum any more. Although you might consider this gross - since it has it's own anti bacterial qualities - I often set it aside in a covered dish after chewing it for a while, and take it up again later. I have tried adding some essential oil of peppermint for flavor, but that turns it into an impossible sticky mess that you can hardly get off your teeth. Overall this is a fantastic product if you want a healthy alternative to chewing gums that are full of plasticizers, artificial sweeteners and flavorings.
Review: Good product! - This is a good, quality, product. There's no flavor to speak of but, it seems to leave a slight waxy film on my teeth which drives me insane lol. I bought it after researching bacteria in the stomach. It does settle the stomach.

## Features

- Fresh Chios Mastiha Tears Gum Greek 100% Natural Mastic - Gathered From The Mastic Growers Of Chios Island. It comes from the mastic tree that only grows in the island of Chios and it is hand cleaned piece by piece by mastic growers. Its unique properties are unique and recognized all around the world.
- In summer time the mastic tears maybe stuck together due to high temperatures during shipping, just place them in a cold place and they will get back their hard former state. Mastic should be preserved either in a fridge or a cool place that will not exceed 64 οF or 18 οC. If it is placed in a warm place it becomes soft stick together or it turn into liquid form.
- If the mastic sticks together and becomes one block, you can place it in the freezer for a few hours and brake it into smaller pieces. You can get the mastic back and forth between the two states (hard and soft) as many time as you like and it will not go bad in any way or lose any of its properties. Mastic gum is originally a liquid resin that comes out of the mastic tree and then it hardens with time.
- As time passes mastiha turns yellowish and hardens due to oxidation but never loses its beneficial properties. If you keep it in a cold place and air tight, this process slows down. The taste might be a little bitter at the beginning but after a little time it relishes it unique taste and aroma!
- Scientific research shows that Chios Mastiha has many beneficial attributes for both body hygiene and skin care. Also it can be grinded into powder and be used in cooking!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So I’ve heard that the small tears are actually harder to chew, is that true? Also is this all hard tears, I hate the ones that stick to my teeth**
A: Yes, I'm finding that the small tears are much harder to chew. The bigger bag is all small, hard tears. I first ordered the smaller bag to test this product out and it was an assortment of large and small tears. There would be some softer tears that stick to your teeth that I would have to throw away, but I definitely liked the assortment better. The smaller ones I almost can barely chew at times.

**Q: are there any other ingredients besides mastic in this product?  thanks!**
A: This is a 100% pure mastic gum!

**Q: how to you take this?**
A: I chew it like gum, because the consistency is similar.  Instead of just chewing and then spitting them out, it is better to swallow them to acquire the good properties of the Mastic.  They are rather tacky, so if one has dental work, be cautious when chewing (the smaller "tears" are easier to chew).  The taste is rather "pine-like."  Hope this helps....

**Q: can mastic gum be put in water and drank?**
A: You can, but it will not dissolve in water.  They are hard resin pellets.  Your best bet is to chew them like gum.  If you want to swallow them to take internally, I would suggest getting the very small ones so you can take them like a pill (as they don't really reduce down just by chewing them).  Hope this helps!

*by M***S on April 5, 2023*

While I slightly prefer another brand, this one is a better price with the added convenience and speed of Amazon shipping. Thanks to a previous review, I checked my bag for any rocks, etc. and found none. The only reason I slightly prefer another brand is that this one is a little bit harder to chew. Not necessarily a bad thing.
