(The price includes VAT)
Chios Mastic tincture comes from immersing Chios mastic in an alcoholic solution (grappa), for a period of 4-6 weeks. During this time, the active ingredients of the above herbs are dissolved in the alcoholic solution resulting in the formation of the tincture.
The first references around the mastic tree and the mastic of Chios are located in antiquity and actually come from Herodotus (484-420 BC), who characteristically states that in ancient Greece they chewed the dried resinous liquid flowing from the bark of the mastic tree. In medical texts of late antiquity there is a plethora of medical prescriptions, with mastic as the main ingredient, which was considered beneficial for human health and attributed many properties to it. It was usually used in combination with other natural materials to treat a number of diseases.
Indeed, due to the strong anti-inflammatory action of eleanolic and oleanolic acid (3-oxotriterpene), mastic has a healing effect by resolving the inflammations of specific organs starting from periodontitis, esophagitis, gastritis, duodenal ulcer, colitis and hemorrhoids.It also prevents stagnation in these areas by preventing the onset of symptoms such as indigestion or bloating. In addition, digestion is facilitated by the reflex secretion of saliva and gastric fluid when chewing mastic. It is a fact that mastic is still used today to soften tumors in the anus, chest, liver, parotids, spleen, stomach, intestine and esophagus, and even for diarrhea in children. In addition, it is considered analgesic, antitussive, appetite suppressant, aphrodisiac, astringent, erythropoietic, diuretic, expectorant and hemostatic. Mastic is mentioned as the traditional antidote against abscesses, acne, cancer, ulcers and carcinomas, malignant blisters, heart disease, warts, atony, gingivitis, bad breath, leukorrhea, mastitis, tuberculosis and atherosclerosis.
Recent studies by doctors at the University of Nottingham show that even in minimal doses (1 mg daily for 2 weeks), mastic can cure the peptic ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori, due to its antimicrobial activity, while its effect on liver function is also important, as it activates its detoxifying activity. In this way, cholesterol is absorbed, the concentration of which in the blood decreases, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Diuretic properties are also reported, while the inhibition of leukotriene synthesis by the action of mastic is also important.
Other modern scientific research that has led to the isolation and identification of ursolic and oleanolic acid has revealed and confirmed that many of the medicinal effects of mastic, such as anti-cancer, hepatoprotective,anti-ulcer, antimicrobial (against a number of pathogenic microorganisms such as staphylococci and salmonella), anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-viral action, can be attributed mainly to ursolic acid, but also to its isomer, oleanolic acid.In fact, the addition of natural Chios mastic to toothpastes, toothpastes and mouthwashes has been shown to strengthen the immune system of the tissues between the teeth and gums, thus acting against plaque formation and other periodontal diseases.
Tinctures retain all the active ingredients of the herb, are very simple to take and completely natural. They are undoubtedly superior to dietary supplements in pill form, as they do not contain chemicals and preservatives and are absorbed much more efficiently by the body.
Herbal tinctures are very effective and therefore should be consumed according to their instructions. The usual dosage is 0.5-1ml (about 10-20 drops per day). They should not be consumed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Chios Mastic tincture is made in Greece under the strictest European standards and with the exclusive use of pure and tested raw materials.
