For thousands of years, different cultures have chewed a variation of gum-like
substances. The Greeks chewed mastic tree sap; Mayans used sapodilla tree sap;
Native Americans preferred spruce sap; and ancient Middle Eastern travelers used
frankincense oleoresin. Although there are many reasons to chew gum, some of the
most interesting (at least to me) include to promote oral health and to help
control appetite.
Frankincense oleoresin was traditionally chewed by ancient Middle Eastern
travelers during long journeys when days were long and food was scarce. These
days, you will often see contestants on NBC’s The Biggest Loser chewing
gum. In fact, according to the National Institutes of Health, the simple act of
chewing distracts your mouth and prevents cravings. The effect that chewing gum
has on cravings and hunger management is also the subject of many current
studies.
So how does chewing gum improve oral health? As we eat, acids are created in
the mouth as food is broken down. Over time these acids have the potential to
break down tooth enamel, which can lead to additional oral issues. According to
the American Dental Association (ADA), chewing gum triggers the production of
saliva that washes away or dilutes these acids. Clinical studies show that after
a minimum of 20 minutes of chewing, optimal oral benefits are reached.
Slique™ Gum combines pure, natural frankincense
chewing resin, peppermint and spearmint essential oils, and xylitol into a
one-of-a-kind chewing experience. The gum base is free of synthetic material and
is cold pressed to preserve the benefits that ancient caravan travelers enjoyed.
Personally, I like to spice my gum up a little by adding 1–2
drops of Slique Essence prior to chewing. This adds additional flavor and a hint of sweetness. It also adds additional Slique benefits. It should be noted, however, that adding any type of citrus oil to the
gum modifies the gum consistency and may alter the chewing experience.
