Mango tea

Mango leaves are packed with nutrients. Many people put mango leaves in their tea to help with anti-inflammation, to manage diabetes, and to treat stomach ulcers, per Healthline.

In 2018, I remember experiencing harsh respiratory problems from the air pollution in Manila, Philippines. Leaves from the branches of large mango trees were at arms reach from the balcony of our airbnb. My mom took those leaves and made them into a tea for me. “Just trust me, it’ll help you.” And she was right. Drinking this tea brought such intense relief. I’m realizing this as I’m writing it, this is one of my first times I’ve experienced and acknowledged the healing benefits from plants. A beautiful moment that sparked my curiosity into the vast and healing power of Mother Nature. I am grateful that in my travels to Florida, I am in closeness again with the mango tree as she provides me with healing nourishment in her leaves and fruit. A natural reliever for anyone who experiences: • Diabetes • Respiratory issues • High blood pressure • Gall and Kidney stones Its richness in plant compounds provides anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, regulates metabolism, heals wounds, and supports skin and hair health. I share this knowledge as a reminder to look around you. To question and to make assessment on what your body needs. There is medicine in your backyard. Show Her love and She will always provide.🌿 #health #plantmedicine #mangoleaftea #mangoleaf #foraging #florida #holisticwellness #tea

Mango eye cream 

Another way to incorporate mangos in your wellness routine is by using mango-infused eye cream. It’s used in creams because mangos are a source of mangiferin (antioxidant), vitamin E, vitamin A, and vitamin C that help your skin. Curious to try it out?

Mango butter

Mango butter has its benefits! This is an alternative to cocoa butter products. It helps your skin retain moisture, per the aforementioned source. Curious to try it out? Check out this Latina-owned mango body butter product here.
