- Relieves heartburn

- Helps treat and soothe gastric ulcers

- Relieves gastric and intestinal inflammation
Mastic gum is the gummy resin of the mastic tree – Pistacia lentiscus, a tree in the pistachio family. Mastic is found almost exclusively on the Greek island of Chios, the birthplace of Hippocrates, the traditional father of medicine. Mastic gum has always been used medicinally to combat gastric and intestinal inflammation.
In contemporary society, mastic gum has been found useful in combating gastritis and heartburn as well as general gastric and intestinal inflammation. Studies have shown that a mastic gum supplement not only relieves the symptoms of these painful conditions, but can also help heal the stomach, possibly by killing H. pylori bacteria. Mastic Gum is an excellent natural alternative for people who have experienced long-term negative side effects from antacids, proton pump inhibitors, antibiotics and other medications that treat the symptoms of heartburn but do not address the cause.
AOR Mastica Chios is exclusively derived from the mastic gum of pistachio trees on the Greek island of Chios.
