• The impact of appetite stimulants stimulates appetite.
• Carminative effect alleviates flatulence and abdominal distension.

Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Mastic gum is an effective bad breath cure. Chewing mastic gum helps to refresh the breath and eliminates foul breath odor.

Mastic gum's antibacterial effect decreases germs in the mouth that cause bad breath. Most bacteria proliferate in the mouth as a result of the breakdown of food particles. This reaction causes a bad odor in the mouth. Poor dental hygiene is the second most common cause.

Chewing Mastic gum eliminates food particles, prevents bacteria growth due to antibacterial action, and cleans the teeth, reducing bad breath and making one feel refreshed.

Dental Plaque

Dried mastic gum powder can be used to naturally remove tooth plaque. Mastic gum toothpowder also strengthens the gums and teeth, which aids in the prevention of tooth decay.

In Ayurveda, Amla, Praval Pishti, and Mukta Pishti are added to the Heartburn and Indigestion treatment, in addition to mastic gum and licorice. This mixture treats indigestion (dyspepsia) and heartburn in 2 to 4 weeks.

Chronic Gastritis

On stomach linings, mastic gum has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. It is used with licorice and Vanshlochan (Bamboo Manna) to boost its anti-inflammatory activity.

Mastic gum is also beneficial in treating other causes of ulcers, such as the use of NSAIDs and other medications that can cause erosion of the stomach or intestinal mucosa. Mastic gum forms a protective coating on the linings of the stomach and intestines, preventing and treating ulcers.
