Mangosteen

Mangosteen, a native tropical fruit of Southeast Asia, has traditionally been used for medicinal purposes. For example, the rind was used to make a tea to treat elimination issues such as diarrhea and bladder infections. But don’t look for the sweet-sour fruit fresh in continental U.S. grocery stores. It is illegal to import the fruit for fear of a simultaneous pest importation.

Nevertheless, consuming it as a supplement has grown in popularity since 2002, when a network marketing company produced the first mangosteen juice.
