Mastixa Chios
a perfect additional method to help oral hygiene!
Mastixa is the sap of the mastixa tree that grows in south Chios. Even in ancient times, mastixa was used in bread making, bakery, drawing, Saint icon painting, alcohol making, cosmetics and mainly in medicine. Galen and Dioscorides suggested the used of mastixa for stomach inflammation and liver inflammation and for cosmetic use such as face masks.
recently in London the EMA (European Medical Association) recognised Chios Mastixa as a natural pharmaceutical product, we many healing capabilities for the human body. Mastixa has beneficial effects on stomach ulsers, diabetes, cholesterol and triglycerides, for burns and frostbite, and many skin disorders. It can also be used as an aphrodisiac, increasing libido.
Espcially in the field of dentistry, Chios mastixa is an excellent substance for oral hygiene, with many benefits:
- it increases saliva and it's production rates and combats dry mouth
- it massages the gums and increases bloodflow
- it cleans microbial plaque and helps greatly to reduce it
- it changes the compounds of microbial plaque for the better at the essential oils act bacterialstactically
- the elastic but at the same time hard composition gives a good stimulation to the tissue holding the teeth and helps against peridontal disease
- it gives the face muscles a 'work-out' that helps with physiotherapy for those who suffer from bruxism
- it helps in the non-use of commercial chewing gums that contain sugar that creates tooth decay
- it helps reduce bad breath / halitosis and refreshed the breath
At the VSmile Piraeus dental clinic we advise that however many benefits Chios mastixa may have they cannot replace the work of a toothbrush, toothpaste and other forms of maintaining good oral hygiene.the use of Mastixa is a helpful, but only additional method for good oral hygiene.
