Chew Raw Mastic: Mastic Gum Chewing Instruction
If you put a Chios mastic gum tear in your mouth for the first time, you may be surprised that it is relatively hard, especially compared to conventional chewing gum. The mastic softens only in the mouth, when mixed with saliva and warmed. Mastic is vegan, lactose- and gluten-free.
What is mastic gum?
Chios mastic is a 100% natural product, treated only by cleaning, washing, drying and sorting. It is the resin gum of a mastic tree. It differs in size, hardness and shape. Gum that lasts forever!
The sales package of mastic is divided into:
In addition to hard pieces, you will also find tears that are very soft and sticky. They are usually clearer than the hard pieces.
How to chew raw mastic gum
Chewing raw mastic gum is a simple and enjoyable way to experience it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to chew it properly.
Instructions on how to chew mastic tears may seem complicated, but in fact they are not.
Before you start chewing for the first time, we recommend drinking a glass of clean water. You won’t have a dry mouth, and the mastic will chew and combine better.
Choose a rather hard piece from the package and chew it between your front teeth, with the help of your tongue, until you form a solid mass.
Then you can chew it like a classic chewing gum in your whole mouth.
Combine different hardnesses of the mastic tears.

Mastic and the jawline
Which chewing gum is best for the jawline? Mastic gum! How can you strengthen the jawline and get a more defined jawline with mastic? Chewing can help strengthen the masticatory (chewing) muscles and may contribute to a more defined jawline.
Chewing mastic is more challenging, so chew only a few minutes a day to start. If your jaw doesn’t hurt afterwards, you can gradually increase the chewing time. Make sure to load both sides of your mouth evenly.

Chew mastic for a few minutes a day. Gradually increase the length of chewing.
Load both sides of the mouth evenly.
