Health Benefits

There are so many beneficial health benefit uses for the human body that it is hard to know where to begin. Dr. James Duke, an American ethno botanist, created a phytochemical and ethno botanical data base. Mangosteen has properties with 138 separate benefits. I am not going to name them all, but will focus on the most popular and sought after benefits. The mangosteen possesses anti-fatigue and anti-tumor reducing capabilities. This includes cancerous tumors. This fruit also has the ability to lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels as well. Mangosteen can also relieve some skin conditions like psoriasis and mild acne. Anyone with allergy symptoms such as hay fever can find relief while using the mangosteen. It has also been linked to helping patients suffering from Alzheimers and Parkinson’s disease. One of the most popular features is the “anti-obesity” claims from drinking the mangosteen juice (Templeman, 1999).
