The pomegranate's origin spans from Iran to The Himalayas of North India. It has been widely used in India and some parts of Asia, such as Tropical Africa, Malaya, and the East Indies. In the US it is grown in California and Arizona.
Being an ancient fruit high in rich cell damage preventing anti-oxidants, heart disease prevention benefits, skin support, and even prostate cancer inhibitors, Pomegranate's benefits warrant a triple take. It improves speedy healing of wounds and damage to the skin in general, including damage from the sun, aging, and other environmental factors. The retardation of aging that pomegranate is purported to provide comes in some part from fibroblasts, which maintain the matrix in animal tissue as producers of elastin and collagen (which provide skin support- and cause the skin to sag and wrinkle when broken down). Topical applications of oil, mashed pomegranate (mashed or blended at home as a mask), or its pure juice as a tonic can easily prevent the breakdown of fibers, fortify the skin by thickening (the epidermis and dermis), and even reduce the beginnings of some forms of skin cancer.
