Mastica Chios is mastic gum, the sticky extract of the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus) produced on the Greek island of Chios. Research shows that it helps ease stomach pain and heartburn linked with functional dyspepsia and is commonly used in Ayurveda for Adhmana (excessive gas formation in the stomach and intestines).
