Xanthones (form of antioxidant) which are found in high quantities
in the mangosteen fruit have been found to offer numerous benefits.
One of the most recent discoveries is they're been linked to helping with
Fibromyalgia.
What exactly have they been found to do for Fibromyalgia patients? Xanthones
have been found to act as pain relievers.
It's no secret that the mangosteen fruit offers numerous medical benefits,
while they are medicinal in nature, the people of Southeast Asia have been consuming the fruit for hundreds of years and reaping
the herbal benefits of the fruit.
There's little doubt that as time progresses we'll discover more and more
healthy benefits this fruit has to offer.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Just a brief overview of what is Fibromyalgia. A very frustrating and debilitating
disease that is characterized (but not limited to) joint, muscle, and bone pain combined with fatigue.
Of course those can be th symptoms of other similar chronic syndromes such
as lupus or chronic fatigue syndrome.
This makes it very difficult for doctors to diagnose properly and in a timely
fashion.
The main symptom of Fibromyalgia is that of widespread pain through out the
body.
The pain is often accompanied by increased sensitivity in the skin, along
with aches and pain in muscle tissue and a weakness in limbs.
Other symptoms that are often associated with Fibromyalgia include chronic
paresthesia, physical fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, genitourinary symptoms such as those associated with chronic interstitial
cystitis, as well as dermatological disorders, headaches, myoclonic twitches, and symptomatic hypoglycemia.
While there isn't an actual cure for the disease the best treatment is to
seek out options to help relieve suffering from symptoms.
This is where the relations of mangosteen and Fibromyalgia comes into play.
