Dried mangosteen shell( contain garcinia mangosteen)

Product Description

Juice from the dark red pericap is so potent that it can be impossible to remove. This has led some hotels in South East Asia to ban mangosteens from their premises. Other plants in the mangosteen family, such as St John�s Wort, have been used for medicinal purposes and scientists and researchers are studying mangosteens (both the fruit and the pericap) to develop products such as antimicrobial and antiparasitic treatments; dehydration aids; antiseptics and anti-inflammatories. The pericap of the mangosteens contains mangostin, which is an organic compound made up of xanthones. The xanthones in mangosteens are some of the strongest anti-radicals, anti-oxigenes, anti-aging agents and anti-cancerogenes to be found organically. Filipinos use a mangosteen extract to control fever and in India the pericap is believed to assist dysentery and infectious diarrhoea. In China and Thailand they utilise mangosteens for treating wounds, malaria, gonorrhoea, urinary tract infections, tuberculosis and syphilis. In the Caribbean, the mangosteen tea "eau de Creole", is believed to be a tonic for fatigue, while Brazilians use mangosteen tea for digestion and in Venezuela it�s included in a poultice for skin infections caused by parasites.
