Mastic, Mastiha – Tears of Chios (Pistacia lentiscus)
$10.95 – $192.45
Description
We now have Mastic in 4 grades, the Small Tears are approximately 5-8mm in size, the Medium Tears are 8-12mm in size and the Large Tears are approximately 12-15mm in size and also in Powder form here.
Dosage: Every morning about 15-20 minutes before breakfast take about 1gm of Mastic gum. Chew it as long as desired and then it is OK to swallow it.
Mastic is a resin obtained from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus). It is also known as tears of Chios, being traditionally produced on the island Chios, and, like other natural resins, is produced in “tears” or droplets.
Mastic is excreted by the resin glands of certain trees and dries into pieces of brittle, translucent resin. When chewed, the resin softens and becomes a bright white and opaque gum. The flavor is bitter at first, but after some chewing, it releases a refreshing flavor similar to pine and cedar.
In its hardened form, mastic can be used, like frankincense or Boswellia resin, to produce incense.
