Adopt a magical Chios mastiha tree by the sea

Since ancient times, mastiha, exclusively found on the southern part of the Greek island of Chios, has been renowned for its medicinal and therapeutic values and as an exotic spice.

It is also often referred to as the oldest superfood in the world.

Chios mastiha is available in different forms, including crystal, powder, capsules, oil and gum.

Chios mastiha has been scientifically proven to have beneficial properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing and skin regeneration, digestive, and oral hygiene.

Chios mastiha is protected by the European Union and UNESCO as a unique product, and the precious ‘tears’ are harvested in a very specialised and labour-intensive process that has been passed down through the generations.

Through the project www.adoptchiostrees.gr (http://www.adoptchiostrees.gr/) people from around the globe are able to adopt a Chios mastiha tree for €60.

Looks like the price is now 80€, not 60€ as quoted.
