Description

Mangosteen is used for many conditions, but so far, there isnt enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.
Mangosteen is used for diarrhea, urinary tract infections (UTIs), gonorrhea, thrush, tuberculosis, menstrual disorders, cancer, osteoarthritis, and an intestinal infection called dysentery. It is also used for stimulating the immune system and improving mental health.
Some people apply mangosteen to the skinfor eczema and other skin conditions.
Mangosteen is often eaten as a dessert fruit or made into jams. History reports that it was Queen Victorias favorite fruit.
These days, mangosteen juice is becoming a popular health drink. It is usually sold under the name xango juice. Some marketers claim that xango juice can treat diarrhea, menstrual problems, urinary tract infections, tuberculosis, and a variety of other conditions. However, there is no reliable scientific evidence to support these claims. Mangosteen juice is all the rage, and the much-touted health benefits of the fruit stem from the type of antioxidant found in the fruit, especially in its rind. ... The all-important xanthones protect the skin in multiple ways with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
