Mastic Gum - healthy 'chewing gum'
Related to the threads about teeth but I think warrants a thread of it's own, Mastic Gum.
You can buy natural Mastic Gum drops/beads now (http://www.goodhealtheasily.co.uk/nu...-mastic-beads/) and they have been shown in studies to be effective against H.Pylori (the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers) and have also been used for fresh breath and bacteria in the mouth.
Additional benefits mean more circulation to the mouth, and strengthening of jaws (and teeth).
To begin with your teeth might feel sensitive - that's good! As it means it is fighting bacteria
And it lasts for AGES! And is safe to swallow - in fact it's recommended you do swallow it, as it fights h.pylori in the gut (just make sure they're tiny pieces or you swallow with water).
You can also melt some into boiling water, then cool it down then drink it.
I have just bought some from the link above - and it's the same as the small packets you can get directly from Greece

although some pieces are very soft - wonder why

although it's meant to freshen your breath (and whiten your teeth) as well.The second photo is what it's like in the wild - see the 'dew drop' in the left hand side of the photo? That's a mastic bead
I'll take some photos and edit them into this post in a mo... here ya go:
