Mangosteen, one of the most popular fruits in Asia, is very well regarded as a luscious and mouthwatering fruit. Aside from being valued for its flavor, its thick outer layer (or rind) is also used as medicine for preventing and curing certain body disorders.

Mangosteen can be more than just fresh fruit served for dessert. This versatile fruit can be also made into jam, juice, extract, and food supplements. These mangosteen products are surprisingly a popular commodity to be purchased in the Internet. Since this tropical fruit is not available in most western countries, people resort to ordering these products online.

Now, it seems that tea has been added to the list of products the mangosteen could be turned into. Dr. Alfredo Villarico, a doctor of medicine and a mangosteen farmer in North Cotobato in the Philippines, launched a new formulated mangosteen product--the mangosteen tea. This natural tea has no additives and is preservative-free.

Dr. Villarico explained that it is the mangosteen leaves and not the fruit that are made into tea. He has done researches for years about how the Manobos, the indigenous people of the Mount Apo foothills in Davao, would boil mangosteen leaves to cure themselves from different illnesses. His studies. observations, and experiments has led him to develop the all-natural mangosteen tea.

Dr. Villarico states that his mangosteen tea does not claim any healing or therapeutic effect on the body. However, he did emphasize that his mangosteen product is very rich in Xanthones, the natural chemical compounds that function as great antioxidants. Antioxidants are very beneficial to the body. The human body has many free radicals roaming inside it. These are unstable cells that cause damage in the human body. They can be acquired through cigarette smoking and radiation. Antioxidants help to prevent the damage caused by these free radicals and to restore the body's natural health. So even if the therapeutic effects of the mangosteen tea are yet to be proven, you can still be assured that drinking it will do wonders for your body since it contains antioxidants.

These mangosteen teabags are exclusively manufactured and distributed by a homegrown corporation in the Philippines. Hopefully, they will be available in the international market soon.
