Glossary - Mangosteen

Mangosteen is native to South East Asia and requires a year round, warm, very humid, equatorial climate. People call the fruits from mangosteen tree as "queen of fruits" because of its unbelievably excellent flavor.

For centuries, mangosteen has been used in traditional medicines. The sliced and dried rind of mangosteen is powdered and administered to overcome dysentery. When they are made into an ointment, they are applied on eczema and other skin disorders. The rind decoction is taken to relieve diarrhea and cystitis, gonorrhea and gleet and applied externally as an astringent lotion.
