Mastic gum is the aromatic resin produced by the evergreen shrub Pistacia lentiscus. For centuries, mastic gum has been used as a spice, as a cosmetic agent, but above all as a herbal remedy for the treatment of a multitude of gastrointestinal disorders. It contains antioxidants that are said to support its therapeutic properties. In 2015, the European Medicines Agency published a monograph on mastic gum, recognising its use as a traditional herbal medicinal product.

Mastic gum has been found to be beneficial in the management of gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD), providing notable relief of symptoms such as heartburn. Its use may help improve the quality of life of people suffering from this common digestive condition. It also offers benefits to a wide range of other gastric disorders, particularly those involving excess acid production.
