Description
Experts warn against using the fruit to treat cancer. Practitioners of herbal medicine use soursop fruit and Graviola tree leaves to treat stomach ailments, fever, parasitic infections, hypertension, and rheumatism. It’s used as a sedative, as well.
Graviola may only have recently become popular in the West but it has a long history of ancient herbal remedies and treatments. Also known by other names such as soursop and guanabana, this small tree (no more than 10 meters tall) grows in tropical America. The soursop fruit is very tasty (sort of like custardy apple) and has been used to add flavor to jams, ice cream, juices, and nectars.
But apart from its ability to turn ordinary food into an extraordinary treat, the fruit has also been used in traditional medicine to fight rickets. The leaves, bark, and roots, on the other hand, is used to treat diabetes. Lately, there have even been studies pointing to Graviola as an alternative treatment for cancer.
But while Graviola has established its importance in ancient medicine, experts have also discovered that it provides a number of benefits. Take a look at our exhaustive list of guanabana benefits so you can decide if you should take this supplement.
