What is mastika?

Mastika, also known as "Tears of Chios", is the natural resin of the evergreen pistachio tree (Pistacia lentiscus), growing in the Mediterranean region. The original Chinese mastica comes from trees growing only on the Greek island of Chios. It is obtained in the process of cutting their bark, as a result of which the resin freely comes to the surface, from where it is collected and then dried using  maltodextrin (a polysaccharide made from starch), which most companies do not include in their composition .

Mastica is a source of many useful ingredients that also give it a refreshing, resinous scent - the dominant ones include mastic acids and valuable essential oils.

The history of the use of mastica

The history of the use of mastica is very long and dates back to ancient times, where it was valued not only for its characteristic taste, but also for its therapeutic properties. It is believed to be the first natural chewing gum that the inhabitants of ancient Greece used for hygienic purposes - to brush their teeth and freshen their breath. At that time, mastica was also used as a cosmetic agent for cleansing the face and body, even as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations of that time.
