Mastiha may taste a bit bitter at first, but that taste fades into a light herbal flavor.\u00a0 Begin chewing and\u00a0Mastiha becomes a white silky color.\u00a0 The resin keeps its hard texture indefinitely and this is precisely why it is recommended for gum health and amazingly clean teeth!\u00a0 Keep chewing the gum for a half hour in order to gain all the therapeutic benefits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"side_share clearfix\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Mastiha?\u00a0 Mastiha is the natural and rare tree resin of the pistacia lentiscus var Chia tree.\u00a0Scientific research has shown that this resin has\u00a0anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory qualities.\u00a0 It has been documented from antiquity for its health benefits, its use as the first natural chewing gum and as a cooking spice.
