Greece, Greek Chios (Xios) Mastic Gum ( Mastiha or Mastixa ) 100 Gr Box New

Product Description

Chios natural gum mastic. Instructions You can use mastic as ordinary chewing gum, or you can ground it into powder (or at least in very small pieces) and use it as a natural medicine for peptic ulcers and general for stomach disorders. Mastic is a 100% natural product. That means that not all the pieces of mastic (or tears as they are called) are the same. Some pieces are bigger, some are smaller, some are harder and some are softer. Mastic -due to temperature- is softer in summer and harder in winter. Usually larger pieces are softer than the smaller ones which dry out and harden faster. Generally, medium or large pieces are better for chewing and small pieces are better for grounding them into powder. A more yellow colour means older and harder mastic, a more whitish colour means fresher and softer mastic. Generally speaking you should avoid buying yellow mastic, because this means that mastic is very old and has lost part of its properties. How to chew Chios mastic as chewing gum: Choose either a small piece or break a larger piece and use half of it (in any case, initially use less than the total quantity of mastic you intent to chew) and start chewing it. At the beginning is quite hard, but as the mastic gets warmer from the mouth, it gets softer. If the piece you chew is hard then choose a softer piece and add it to the previous mastic in your mouth. Equally, if the initial piece is too soft and gets stuck in your teeth, add a harder piece to make a mixture that will have the right consistency. You could -if you wish- shallow the mastic when you have finished chewing it. Just make sure you cut it in smaller pieces to avoid choking on a large mastic gum piece.
