Mastic
Mastic or Arabic gum is a resin produced from the mastic tree. When chewed, it can be softened into a white opaque gum that has a pine-like flavor. For centuries, mastic has been used in many ancient medicines to treat different gut issues such as Crohn’s disease and stomach ulcers. Consuming around 1 g of mastic per day can help alleviate associated symptoms of ulcers. Also, antibacterial activities in this plant can fight against H. pylori bacteria as well. You can find mastic at most health stores or pharmacies as a powdered supplement or gum. [6]
