Mangosteen
Mangosteen is a small purple fruit about the size of a tangerine, which has traditionally been used to treat inflammation, dysentery, and skin disorders.
It was also used to fight infection by boiling up the fleshy part of the rind, also know as the pericarp, into a tea.
As early as 1855, a German scientist identified mangostin, a powerful antioxidant, known as a xanthone, which appeared to fight infection, fungus, bacteria, histamines and possibly cancer.
210 xanthones have been identified in nature, and over 40 of those have been found in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit.
The significance of these xanthones can be better understood by reading about the relationship between antioxidants and free radicals in preventing damage to healthy cells and restoring health to areas that have all ready been damaged.
