It’s no wonder that after millennia as a digestive aid, scientific research has confirmed the substantial benefits of mastic for the digestive system. It is still being used in medical concoctions around the world, as it can prevent and reduce the effects of various gastrointestinal disorders while also working as a pain management aid for conditions such as stomach ache and indigestion.
In dentistry, mastic has been known to strengthen the teeth and gums, which is essential for preventing tooth decay and maintaining oral health as we age. Not only can this wonderful substance be used for fillings and tooth moulds, but it also eliminates and inhibits the formation of microbial plaque while inhibiting bacteria growth.
