Mango Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Mango (Mangifera indica) is a large evergreen tree of the cashew family, Anacardiaceae, native to the Indian subcontinent and Myanmar and grown throughout the tropics for its fruit. It can reach 30-40 m with a dense, domed crown and leathery, lance-shaped leaves that emerge coppery-red and turn dark green. Huge panicles of tiny pinkish flowers are followed by the familiar fruit. The leaves have a resinous, slightly turpentine-like smell when crushed and are hung as garlands at Indian festivals. We extract the dried leaf.
