Topical Application Of Mangosteen Juice
We have been using mangosteen juice salve for almost four years. My husband took 20 skin tags off his neck. I took a big thing off my shoulder…I have used it on cuts, scrapes, burns, spider-bites, stings, baby shots and the cat, too!

If you’re in an emergency and there isn’t time to make a paste for topical application, e.g. with a burn, you can apply mangosteen directly or soak a cloth with the juice and wrap the wounded area with it.
If you have the time to reduce it slowly, pour a small amount of the juice in a flat plate, the larger surface area, the better & cover (preferably with glass) to keep out foreign objects. Then let the juice evaporate over several days until it forms a paste
If you wish to reduce the juice on the stove, that’s fine, too because xanthones don’t lose their bioactivity when heated. I’ve done this and can attest that the paste is very effective
How To Use Mangosteen Juice Paste
Whichever reduction method you use, what’s eventually left, is a mangosteen paste e.g. the consistency of honey, which you then scrape off and store in a covered container in your fridge.
If you’ve only made a little, store it in a small container, like a sterilized thimble…and place that in a sealed bottle in your fridge.
There are two ways to use the paste:
- Directly- Clean the relevant patch of skin, and apply the paste. Try to cover the treated skin lightly to keep the paste from rubbing off, but still allow the air to get in. Keep it dry and repeat a few hours later, if possible, then repeat for the next few days if necessary
- Creating a cream – When you need it, mix the paste with some hand cream and apply it to the wound or skin irritation. We’ve found this method to be more efficient, because the mixture soaks into the skin, none of the paste flakes off and best of all, less paste is used
“…The mangosteen paste is incredible and works like magic. I used it on an elderly client’s hand. She had broken the little finger on her left hand and was out of the cast but still could not sleep due to intense pain. It radiated up her ‘pinkie’ finger over and across the top of her hand. [Mangosteen juice] paste to the rescue!!
I had been continually swabbing the area with a Q-tip for probably 10 minutes when Beverly said:
“The pain is gone!”
I lightly wrapped her hand with a bandage so the paste wouldn’t stain her clothing. She did the application for the next couple of days and she hasn’t been bothered since!
We’ve used it on:
- burns (no blisters)
- moles
- warts
- eczema
- dry skin patches etc…”

Making Hand Lotion For Sensitive Skin
Use your favorite hand/body lotion mixed with the mangosteen juice paste …and you have the BEST hand or body lotion!!
I strain the juice first before I let it evaporate…because if you don’t, you have so much of the residue that it could be bothersome for some people who have sensitive skin. This way, when you strain* it, you have mostly all juice.
I got this idea from the book 65 Ways To Use Mangosteen Juice by Isa Navarre – check this out and read more do-it-yourself ideas on our juice.

*Straining the juice beforehand should be a last resort, simply because the residue contains the most xanthones and it’s the most important part of the juice.
