Mango, Mang Guo (芒果), is sweet and sour in flavour and fresh in nature according to Traditional chinese medicine (TCM). The sour flavor “contains sweat, stops diarrhea and regenerates body fluids especially those of the stomach”.

Mango has a privileged effect on the Spleen and Stomach meridians. It has the following actions: it tones the stomach, stops vomiting, dispels thirst, promotes urination and refreshes the body. For women, regular consumption helps to alleviate problems of amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea.

The orange colour comes from the beta-carotenes present in large quantities which have antioxidant properties. It is also very rich in vitamin C.
