Organic Mastiha Chios 50G – 100% Natural Greek Mastic Gum, Gluten-Free & Sugar-Free Vegan Resin from Greek Farmers, Authentic Mastiha Tears for Daily Use

After using Falim for a year or two I wanted something slightly more natural. Heard about mastic tree gum and bought this. This is expensive, but a single piece can last you a really long time and by goodness, this is the toughest (and most enjoyable) gum I've ever had. Note: when you open the package, they are very small "pebbles" that feel somewhat hard. Put a small handful in your mouth and let them sit for 20 seconds before chewing so they soften up from your saliva first. Chewing hard stuff is really good for jaw & facial development. It's a myth that it damages teeth. As long as you aren't chewing literal rocks, it actually makes your teeth stronger over time.

It's a bit stiff to start but it softens nicely just enough to exercise the jaws. With a pleasant taste and an easily resealable package, it serves well.

It didn't cure my guts but it is decent weird sap gum and I think it might bw helping a little bit. It's flavor is medicinal and weird. It takes a while to ship but it seems to be good quality. It does NOT melt in coffee (stuck on mug and spoon!). It DOES melt if you put a small amount in chili and simmer it for an hour (it seemed to dissolve entirely). It chews HARD and you could hurt your teeth or your jaws if you aren't careful! I bit my lips/cheeks crazy hard more than once the firsty try, so take it easy because it's definitely not bubble gum! It will shatter if you drink something cold, which is neat and might help if you get any stuck in your teeth. I don't dislike this but I'm not sure if these "tears" are the correct form of this stuff for me. Your milage may vary. UPDATE: I saw baking recipes online and tried grinding a little (1/4 tsp) in a mortar and pestle and adding it to sugar cookie dough to test flavor. When I chewed a (gross tasting) cookie the hardened tree resin, which had melted into the cookies, shattered and lacerated the inside of my mouth and my entire digestive system. It has been more than 24 hours since that cookie and I am not sure the bleeding is over yet. This stuff is extremely dangerous but the internet will lead you to believe otherwise. ⚠️USE EXTREME CAUTION⚠️

Good chew, nice and tough, if you take it out of your mouth it’ll harden and make a nice crunch too.

I really don't know what some of the reviewers were talking about. This isn't sticky at all. If it has some medicinal properties then it is worth chewing, otherwise I don't really get it. It's basically small card pellets, and when you start chewing they coalesce into a small firm mass. The taste is a little like tree sap but it dissipates. It then chews like a very firm gum. I find if I chew too long I get a bit of a stomach ache. Maybe it promotes too much stomach acid..

i am ecstatic that i found mastic gum!!!! after a visit to the dentist to discuss some of my issues like grinding and a sort of chewing obsession that i have - i have been chewing on charcoal and bentonite clay in my water for quite some time now and it has deformed my bite - she actually suggested gum!! well in my unsuccessful hunt for the perfect organic, tasty gum that didn't contain poison ingredients like gmo's and natural flavors, i stumbled upon mastic gum! i read tons and tons of reviews because i was a little intimidated by the potential hardness of this gum and the fact that many said it can stick to your teeth or dental work and never come off which definitely would've left me in a panic, i have found that this checks all of my boxes for the perfect stress reliever/all day chew toy in my mouth!!!!! i am chewing way less charcoal, my teeth and jaw feel stronger, my teeth feel less shifty, and it keeps me BUSY, CHOMPING AWAY!!!! it never stuck to my teeth, it will last forever as i have been chewing on the same little wad of gum over and over for a few days now which only consisted of like 5 little droplets, i am just PLEASED AS PUNCH with my discovery and that the risk was well worth the reward for me!!!! finally a healthy solution to my obsessive compulsive grinding/chewing!!!!! i am excited to see the gut benefits as well! this stuff ROCKS!!!!!

May be small but it was able to last me 3 weeks of daily chewing I was taking some big pieces too taste was good I enjoyed the earthy taste very durable until you drink water then it starts to crack but quick trick put it in you upper lip then drink and then when you go back to chewing it’ll be fine since it wouldn’t get wet. 1 piece can last the whole day you can take it out and pop it back in very hard to chew too which I love it’ll definitely get you that jawline!

The gum/resin doesn't taste like anything, and it's as hard as wax. BUT: it kills the H. pylori in your gut, which makes it well worth the effort. You only need to chew a tiny amount (1/8 tsp. maximum) for 1/2 hour a day to reduce the H. pylori.
