FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is “mastic tear”?

Mastic tears are the hardened resin droplets collected from the branches of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chios), naturally dried and cleaned before use. 

2. Is mastic gum safe and natural?

Yes — authentic mastic is a 100 % natural resin, free from gluten, lactose, artificial additives or fillers. It’s vegan‑friendly and suitable even for those with dietary restrictions. 

3. What may be the main benefits of chewing or using mastic?

Mastic may help with digestive comfort — supporting digestion, relieving occasional stomach discomfort or indigestion. It is also valued for freshening breath, supporting oral hygiene.

4. How often can I chew mastic or use it?

You can chew mastic gum as often as you like (it’s hard to overdose on resin). For dietary supplement forms, follow the recommended dosage on the packaging — more doesn’t necessarily bring better results. 

5. Is mastic suitable for everyone?

Generally yes — pure mastic is natural and additive‑free. But if you’re pregnant, have chronic health conditions or take medications, it’s wise to consult your doctor before regular use. 

6. Does mastic affect dental health?

Yes — chewing resin stimulates saliva, which helps neutralize stomach acid and supports oral hygiene. Regular chewing of natural resin may help reduce harmful oral bacteria and freshen breath. 

7. How should I store mastic gum and oil?

Keep mastic resin or oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If the resin becomes soft due to heat, allow it to harden again before use. Proper storage helps preserve aroma, texture and natural properties.
