Soursop Tea aid in Cancer Treatment
Soursop (Graviola) - Annona muricata

Used part: Leaf
Description:
Delicious and refreshing, Soursop has spawned many conversations about its health benefits. In addition to acting as antibacterial, vermifuge, antiparasitic, antispasmodic, astringent and hypotensive, the plant (leaves and fruit) helps in the prevention and treatment of cancer. What's more, it helps as effectively as chemotherapy, but without causing the damage that treatment usually leaves. With graviola it is possible to perform a natural therapy avoiding hair loss and the incessant nausea of the chemical procedure.
Health benefits:
Studies have proven that soursop acts in fact in curing and preventing cancer. In 1976, in the United States, the National Cancer Institute was able to prove that the fruit acted as a natural chemotherapeutic on cancer cells. Impressively, the leaves of the graviola would have a power of 10 thousand times higher than the compound Adriamycin, which is one of the aggressive cytotoxics used in drug chemotherapy.
The fruit has properties that act in a healthy way in the cells of our body, unlike the laboratory chemical compounds used in chemotherapy that are very aggressive. Graviola actually can attack the cancer cells that threaten our body, but it does not attack cells that are healthy, a characteristic that differs from chemotherapy. According to research sources, the fruit has the ability prevent cancer cells to develop within 48 hours.
In 1997, at the University of Purdue, Indiana, researchers found that the anticancer power of soursop was active in several types of the disease, especially the types that most affect the population such as: lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, colon and rectum cancer, as well as being effective in the treatment of dangerous leukemia.
