Over the years, we've been very vocal about how important it is to invest in our health, may it be through our memes on social media or articles on the blog. We were absolutely delighted at the number of people who read our post on Guyabano Tea and the benefits of drinking it daily. It just shows that more and more people are becoming health-conscious and doing research for natural ways to stay fit and prevent diseases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's another tea to add to your arsenal, one you should definitely consider trying yourself. It's inexpensive, pretty quick to make and works wonders for our entire body. I'm talking about tea made from fresh Turmeric root.</div>

This is actually a staple in our home which Dave and I drink on a daily basis. We have been buying fresh Turmeric root at our local wet and dry market every weekend for the past 6 years, that was way before we started the tea habit. I could still remember that it only costs 20 pesos a kilo at the time, and we were just among a handful of people purchasing the root from the only vendor who had it in his fresh produce stall. Today, a kilo of fresh Turmeric root costs 100 pesos because of the high demand. Even though the price skyrocketed, it is still worth buying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wrote an article about the superfood Turmeric back in 2015, which you can read <a href="http://www.stretchyourpeso.com/2015/03/turmeric-superfood.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I tackled the major health benefits it gives us and gave you enough reasons to add it to your family's diet. According to research, Turmeric is known to have more than 600 health
 benefits. It has many anti-inflammatory properties that help in 
treating various health problems like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid 
arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Turmeric is also known to help people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s 
disease, and high cholesterol. Its anti-oxidant properties can prevent cataracts and different kinds of cancer. It reduces 
inflammation caused by wounds, acne and other skin conditions. Hence, a 
little bit of turmeric added to various foods can provide these benefits everyday. We add Turmeric powder to all of our home-cooked meals and for a couple of months now, enjoy it in tea form. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To tell you frankly, brewing fresh Tumeric tea only came to mind when I started collecting Japanese tea sets late last year haha. I was never fond of teas, was more of a heavy coffee drinker. Getting pregnant with our fourth child and exclusively breastfeeding him after birth up to the present, made anything with caffeine a no-go for me. One of the reasons I decided to collect Japanese tea sets, was to actually encourage myself to start drinking and enjoying teas. It worked pretty well, I am now an official tea lover.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>

Leave until remaining one cup of water, drink 2 times a day for 2 weeks.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> For treating Uric Acid<br /><br />Guyabano leaves can also be used as a cure for gout. Many alternative medicines use the leaves for the treatment of gout. <br /><br />The procedure to make it is: take 6-10 old soursop leaves but still green then wash cleanly. Furthermore cut soursop leaves with the aim of ensuring the content in the leaves right out. Boil the leaves with 2 cups of water. Simmer until remaining 1 cup of water. Drink the concoction twice a day in the morning and evening.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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! </span><br />
