Health is Wealth
Guyabano as we call it here in the Philippines has definitely gained popularity in the last couple of years, after more and more people started testifying about its many beneficial effects on the body. It has been acknowledged as the miracle cure for cancer (through independent studies), but not by the medical industry who still maintains that chemotherapy is the only treatment.
I'm not really a huge fan of eating the fruit, I prefer atis actually, unless the soursop is served as a smoothie then we're good haha. My husband loves it though and gets himself a fresh one in the market when it's available. Anyway, we can talk about the fruit another time, it's the graviola leaves that I'm zoning in on in today's write up.
Here are some of the benefits of Guyabano/Soursop leaves:

One of my aunts contracted cervical cancer and underwent chemotherapy which made her gravely ill after treatment. We seriously thought she wasn't going to last long, but when she started taking Guyabano tea and drank it as much as she drinks water on a daily basis her condition miraculously improved at a very quick pace and she never went back to the hospital to this day. My husband gets his Guyabano tea fix every night and is now reaping the rewards of adding it to his routine that he gets much needed energy boosts throughout the day. The difference was astounding that even I tried it out and felt the difference. I'm usually dead tired even before night fall, pregnancy and taking care of 2 toddlers plus a gradeschooler can do that but I don't tire that easily anymore after drinking Guyabano tea. Beats those energy drinks that are loaded with chemicals, that's for sure! Try it our yourself and be amazed with the results as we were!
