On the other hand mastic gum is regarded as a healing source by authorities, that's why it's almost sold by gram value. Actually this product can be cheaper if grown in Turkey. Unfortunately we're getting from Greece mastic mainly. Mastic used for healing even in the period before Christ such as mouth sores and stomach ulcer medications, burns, the outer skin infections like eczema, also used as a sweetener for cakes, ice cream, milk desserts, coffee and a variety of drinks" he concluded.
